I have enough fabric to quilt until I leave this world. I could also furnish several others with fabric. I am truly a Fabriholic.

I'm digging into my stash. Quilting is my primary hobby, pasttime and therapy so it is well worth the cost.

We always 'find' money for the things that matter! Buying fat quarters allows for new fabric without a major investment. If I had absolutely no money to spend my stash will see me through several lifetimes, and of course recycling clothing and household linens, curtains etc. is still perfectly acceptable. Grab some fabric paint, paint sticks or stamps and refurbish old fabrics you don't like anymore to make them new. We are creative ladies on a mission!

I'll still quilt..But will probably save my quilts for close family/friends..And will downsize the rest of my quilt play to wallhangings...At least for a while...oh and I also asked for a ton of fabric paint sticks for christmas... Figued I could always find a sale on some black/white/grey print material and add splashes of color with the paint for a variety of looks...
