It is madness. When someone asked me to make them something, I invite them to my stash and they are shocked at the amount of fabric I have. We all need help so don't feel alone.

I'm addicted. I cannot leave a fabric store without at least several yards of fabric that I have no immediate plans for. I'm also a button addict. I have tons and tons of buttons, every size and color.
My question is: Do you "sneak" your fabric into the house so that your significant other doesn't know?
I'm totally guilty.

A few years ago, my husband and the husband of my quilting buddy were talking, within my earshot, unbeknownst to them. Her man said "She has so much fabric, she'll never use it up."
My man said..."Nooooooo....you're not supposed to USE it, just COLLECT it"!
Is he a keeper or what? I think he truly understands...LOL.

my screen name says it all. LOL. And I agree there is no cure. Someone asked how much - depends on the fabric. the minimum is 1 yard. however I am more likely to buy 2 or more. Then I have enough for a back as well as some on the front of a baby quilt.
