I must have been addicted most of my life. Whenever I went shopping with my mom,(when I was about 10), she said she always knew she would find me in the fabric section. I wasn't sewing then (not until in high school), but just can't resist fabric. The 1st question my dh used to ask when I returned from shopping was, "how much did you buy this time". Now to use it up before I die.

An addiction is a desease, and I have it bad! My mother had gone through the Depression and taught me to save every scrap. I have also work in fabric stores for the discount--haow's that for an addiction. So now admittedly in my sixties, I have two bedrooms, and three walk-in closets filled with boxes of fabric. I even gave up on buying boxes, and ask for the empty bolts from fabric stores. The worst part is that I have no IDEA what I have! It's easier to go to the store and buy more fabric! When we go on vacations, I take my quilter's atlas with me to visit different shops. How pathetic. The addiction doesn't get better; but it is great insulation, it's good excercize to heft it from one place to another, and it's calorie free! Enjoy the colors, the textures, the hand, and the joy of playing with it all!

I am grounded from buying any more fabric for quilts right now. I have enough to finish probably at least 40. No more shopping, right?
Well, I was holding strong until I went to the LQS for just one pattern. And I left with enough fabric to make two purses and a stuffed toy. I figure it's all in the justification. I technically didn't buy fabric for a quilt...
