Good job of munching on them. lol.

Ah --- but what a wonderful way to be broke .

And don't look for help fighting that addiction here! We are all a bunch of "enablers" :)) Seeing beautiful new fabric coming home with me ALWAYS gives me that smile!

I tried scrapbooking a few years ago. I had so much scrap (remove the s...) and it takes up so much space just to spread it out. I finally gave up on that and sold the whole kit and kaboodle at a yard sale. I was thrilled and so was the lady who bought it. I don't bother asking my Dr about the habit, because his wife quilts, and his daughter works in the garment district in NY in a design studio. So he knows. I made a baby quilt last year for his nurse. When he saw it, he said it was way beyond what his wife does. Made me happy.

Consider it an investment... In what I don't know, but we must be invested in something :roll: :lol:

You joined the right group to collect fabric.
welcome aboard.

Here is a chuckle for you:
I used to do scrapbooking, card-making, calligraphy, etc. I gave most of it up because I am enthralled with quilting. One of my sons said, "It's great that you've given up scrapbooking...that was such an expensive hobby for you." If he only knew!!!!

I agree with quilting keeping us our of bars, but must add that it keeps me out of the casinos also. There isn't much for entertainment where I live but since I started quilting I haven't been to the casinos except to eat once. I figure $20 in fabric can last forever but $20 in a casino can be lost in 5 minutes/forever.

Oh! how I chuckled (actually laughed out loud) when I read your story. I can just see myself! I used to do many kinds of crafts and sewed garments for years. Am now in the process of getting rid of the craft stuff and building a fabric stash for quilting. As I am writing this, I should be in the bedroom organizing my stash. My space is so limited, but I just can't pass up a beautiful piece of fabric. Stay out of quilt shops? How??? Hubby is not a real happy camper, but he'll live through it.

We could all have worse addictions and probably more expensive ones. At least we wont harm anyone else with this one
