    Yes, you are one of us, pure creative genius. My "I can't live without that fabric" is starting to pay off. Even the "it is a basic, so I should have it in my stash" stuff is finding it's way into quilted items.
    Glad to know the name of "that really great shop in Franklin". Have been hearing about it for a long time.

    You are so much a quilter. What would we do without our stash?? For all you Walmart shoppers the word here in Montana is that they are getting rid of their fabric departments or will only sell fabric in prepackaged form. I know some quilters, with the economy the way it is, cannot afford to shop for fabric in the more expensive quilt shops, which makes Walmart a cheaper way to keep up your love of quilting. You need to be very careful of the different quality of fabric, but Walmart does have some good fabrics. I am not a Walmart lover, but I do find some nice fabrics there. As a matter of fact a good portion of my stash is Walmart fabric. I just plain love fabric and quilting books.

    I am doing a shop hop next week and there is not one thing I can think of that I need. But I am taking a few hundred dollars just in case something jumps into my hands.

    Guilty, That is my first stop also. It is probably a good thing my budget is so tight right now.

    I have only been "quilting" since April and I already have enough "stuff" to open my own quilting store - not to mention the beautiful Bernina my DH bought me - I have to continue quilting for the rest of my life just to justify all previous and future purchases (sure to be - many future ) Oh the pressure of it all!!! LOL I am having the time of my life - I can't believe that this has been going on around me forever and I just found out - I knew I was in trouble when I started dreaming about making quilts (other obsession - purses) Who Knew? !
