Yes, I am collector too. Fabric, sewing machines, books, thread, patterns......and fortunately for my husband, I will hang on to the one I got. When he asked me once "how many sewing machines can you possibly need in a lifetime?" I countered with "How many drills can a man need? Oh, and how many saws can a man need? Oh and how many.....?" He got the point real quick.

I think we are all related.

I'm the same and love this part of my life. If it makes you happy-why not??? Its cheaper then a session on a couch and who are we bothering or hurting. SO we may collect fabric, notions etc, but we are women that make this world good.

Hey Karla, can I come shop in your 'store' next time I'm in town?
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh my yes. When I start to feel overwhelmed, I just step back then take one project & finish it. I put the others out of sight til I'm ready for the next one. That sort of organizes my brain.

:lol: :lol: :lol: You are too funny. After 46 years, mine is still a WIP

I have that sign up where everybody can see it when they come in! Just pick out one project and concentrate on finishing that one. Put all the others out of site till it is done. Then go on to the next one. Soon your DH will see you truly are a quilter and you will feel better about it!! :-D

and i throught i was the only one ,yep everyone here at home is on the waiting list lol

COJMomma, if you decide to get rid of some of your stash, send it my way we live in the same state.

I tend to follow Eleanor Burn's philosophy.

Keep buying fabric...they have to age properly before use, and while aging, they function as great insulation in my basement sewing room.

Works for me!
