Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my quilts and travels. I make lots of quilts, many as gifts, some for charity, and a few on commission. I love to travel and I own a car, but I am afraid to drive in heavy traffic. So I often use public transportation to visit big cities. I don't just go on trips--I have adventures!

How Much Fabric to Buy
Recently a member at Stashbuster asked how much of each fabric to buy. Until a few years ago, I would buy a fat quarter to 1.5 yards of fabric that I liked; most of those fabrics went to stash. Now that my quilting budget is $50 per month, I buy almost exclusively for current projects. I use Electric Quilt to design my quilts, and I buy a little more than the design's recommended amounts, for safety. Although I am not in Stashbusters' No-Buy group, with its restrictive fabric buying guidelines, I think I would pass. I buy little fabric "on speculation" and most of my projects are gifts. I shop my stash when possible, but I don't feel guilty about buying the fabric I need.
