    Do any of you enjoy getting quilt related mail? I love it! I love any and all catalogs, brochures, anything. I especially enjoy when packages I've ordered come in: fabric, books, magazines, tools... the list goes on! I got in a new book (new to me) today "Quilting with Bits and Pieces". It's for quilts made from scraps... Very nice book; I just couldn't resist since it was on sale. I have more books and magazines than I will ever use, but I still cannot resist a good sale.

    Anyway, I was just wondering if I am the only one who looks forward to getting any and all quilting catalogs. Can't order from all of them, but I can sure do a lot of "wishful thinking!".

    I love to get the quilting catalogs! I agree, I can't buy all the books, tools, fabric, etc....but I love to drool over all the yummy patterns and colors. I hate to throw them away. When I crawl in bed at night, I often grab a catalog and flip though then and dream, and plan....and pretty soon, I am sleepy and drift off dreaming of how I could use this fabric or that fabric in a quilt like that.... ;-)

    Love any catalogue. Find lots of inspiration in them but especially love the quilting/fabric cats.

    I just received a catalog from Keepsake Quilting that a friend of mine sent to me. I've been scouring it since I got it!

    I do "wishful thinking" every time I go to a fabric website. Sometimes I even put fabric in my cart, then delete the whole cart. It's not as satisfying as actually buying the stuff, but it's a lot cheaper!

    I thought I was the only one who went "window shopping" and then dumped my cart when I realized I neither needed what I wanted nor could afford it. Thanks, oldgreymare, for making me feel a bit saner. LOL

    I love anything I read about quilting, anything I get in the mail regarding quilting, anything I see on TV about quilting. But what I love the most is getting fabric delivered that I have ordered.It just makes my day. I just love anything to do with quilting. Yes, I am addicted and proud of it!

    I love getting my Connecting Threads and Keepsake Quilting and usually love my magazines but I think I'm going to change by subscriptions. Definately getting rid of F&P, and now the new Quilters World was very disappointing. I think maybe McCalls Quilting for next year. Any other suggestions?
