    Double Knits -- all colors and kinds left over from my dressmaking days--I seem to have bought a lot of it before my brain caught up with the fact I was not making clothes anymore. Anyone have an idea of who would want it???

    My weekness is quilt kits. I used to never buy them and now seem like everytime I go in the quilt shop she has another kit that I just can't do without. So far I have made one of them and probably have 50 or more plus backing fabric. She gives a 20% discount on the backing if you buy it when you buy the kit.

    I can't seem to discard batting scraps. I can think of all sorts of things to use them for, but when will I have the time to make bookmarks, quilt as you go blocks, purse and bag straps, etc. Woe is me.

    OMG Dora - ME TOO - but our crazy LOVE of this hobby we're following (quilting) CERTAINLY DOES NOT HELP our posteriors either does it (it's hard to make myself get up from the quilt frame, sewing machine, etc. - or leave this quilt msg board - to make yourself go for a walk) :oops:

    Too many boxes of fabric waiting to be unpacked from my move last year. I am needing to build shelves to put it all on. Then I will decide what I have too much of!!!

    Silk....... embroidered silk, variegated silk, all kinds of silk. I have 2 HUGE bags of 12'x12" and bigger samples given to me by a drapery guy going out of business. They are so beautiful but I am at a loss of what to do with them.
