My DH would tell you that I have a sickness when it comes to fabric. When we first met I was on a tight budget so I didn't buy anything unless it was on sale; so he once told me that I'd buy an elephant if it were on sale - so while he was in Viet Nam, I sent him a small stuffed elephant and told him I'd found it on sale. LOL. I just like to think that I've been bitten by the quilting bug and that there is no known cure. I am glad you found such good deals and that you took your Mom back to the sale with you when she asked.

I, for one, hope it never ends! My DH is fully supportive of my fabric addiction! My hundreds of pieces are beautifully ruler folded and placed in color order on many IKEA shelves. My quilt studio looks like a beautiful continuing rainbow!!

"You say all this like it's a bad thing to accumulate fabric".
I read that no one expects a coin collector to use their coins or a stamp collector to use a stamp, so why should they expect a fabriholic to use all her fabric???

But, what a fun sickness, no one gets hurt (unless by a falling bolt of fabric) I look at some of my acquisitions the same way the DNR does. I bring them home, then move them on to where there is a need. The "catch and release" policy of fishing.
