    I love it. Can I use this the next time my husband says something about my fabric? He is usually very good about it. He doesn't care how much I spend, just once in a while he asks if I am ever going to use all that fabric.

    So WHY does everybody expect me to use my fabric collection to actually SEW anything?!!
    I'm not a fabriholic; I'm a fabric collector!
    Excellent point!

    Sorry, to say, but yesterday when I was sorting STUFF off my couch, I came to the determination that I'm a hoarder. I have fabric-----------but in the back of my head, 24/7, is I've got to stop at Goodwill or Walmart's Clearance Aisle or a neighborhood yard sale or a church rummage sale. NOT BECAUSE, but because I want to see what kind of good deals I can find on fabric.

    Got to work on some baby stuff for new grand coming in late August. Unless I find out someone had a yard sale with fabric.

    You know, I like that idea, I knew I was saving all this stuff for a reason.
