    You got that right!!! I've went nuts over fabrics and quilts but I'll let you all in on another confession...... I can't sew/make anything but quilts. I guess thats why they are piling up all over my house, quilts are the only thing I can create, and I cannot do it in moderation! HELP!!!!!

    Ohhhhhhh I would jump up before he finished calling me. IF he cooks while you sew you have the envy of 90 % of the people on this board.

    Now for the confession..... I am addicted to buying fabric.

    However, I must say my fabric stash is not very large at all. When I buy fabric I usually try to purchase enough to do a quilt and I will NOT leave it in my fabric tote I have to cut it up and have it ready to be sewn. And let me just say it worries me to death when its laying in my sewing room and hasn't been cut. I loose sleep over it!!! Finally when its cut I can bounce back and forth from project to project until its finished. (I'm going to make another post listing all of my current projects, maybe if I share their status I'll hurry and finish them.) After a year of this madness the projects are really building up on me!!! And my fabric shopping addiction is not slowing down :)
    Holy Cow! You've made 15 tops in a year? You must not have a job outside the home. Or they are crib size or smaller. Just wait, your fabric buying seems to get worse the longer you have this hobby (love/obsession). I've been quilting for 10 yrs. and about once a year I redo the boxes my stash is in and move them to larger boxes. The one kind of fabric I have the most of is for OBW's. I've at least 12 hunks for just those. Good Luck!
    What does OBW stand for?? I know what all the other abbreviations mean but this one I've been stumped.

    OBW = One Block Wonder. See the picture under Fireworkslover's name. It is an example of what that person likes to make.

    But I know it's not good to complain that he made a nice dinner! I'm very fortunate.
    My hubby was the cook in our house. Nine years today he passed away. He was the best. I miss him so much.

    PS Our son is the cook in his house and so is his father-in-law! Just had to add that!

    Tired? I would get tired of it was "Work" but its a fun hobby for me. lol Like I said (in another post) I just can't do it in moderation. I'm always into something, but when the lack of sleep, and the chaos catches up with me I usually don't do much for a couple of days then I spring back into action. Haha Yeah..... I didn't mean to make it sound like I was the energizer bunny, cause goodness knows I'm not. I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE sewing quilts, its my escape/ therapy :)

    I'm so sorry Sherrie for the loss of your hubby! Makes me realize sometimes that the things we complain about would mean the world to someone else.
