Fabricholics anonymous?
#63
My name is Lynda and I am a fabricholic!! It is going to seriously get out of control now that I have a bigger place and when my son moves out I will have even more room. After all fabric and quilts take the echo out of a big spacious house and will help keep the heating bills down. That's a good reason to collect more fabric I think, really it is.

I have had family intervention when they have found me slumped over my machine after all night binges. I have learned the art of manipulation to get fabric in any way possible, turning my family into enabler puppets.
Yes, with the availability of the Internet, that has become my lifeline for a when I cannot physically get out to my neighborhood "dealers."
Wanna find my house on the block to swap?? Look for the table runner hanging over the electrical lines in front of my house. We can pass bundles as you drive by.

We walked off later & he gently asked "Hon that lady sure knew you. How much shopping have you been doing online?" BUSTED! LMBO
Today we were out & I told him I wanted to run into Jo Ann's. I just wanted to grab 1 thing. And I did. 1 bolt of wide Kona Muslin. LOL Yes, I guess I really am a fabricholic. Oh well. I sure am a happy person. LOL

I don't buy much online, but once while in Joann's, I had a BUNCH of bolts stacked on the cutting table...getting thrid and half yard cuts...honest! I saw some yummies that had been laid aside to be put away and asked to see them, to see if they would go with one of my projects at home, and two ladies behind me...laughingly yelled, "NO!" :shock:
