    Guilt? Not me. I have no shame when it comes to my quilting stash. I don't bother justifying it to anyone nor do I feel bad because some quilters are fabric starving somewhere. It's fun to be bad over fabric. 8-)

    This sounds so much like my room! And yesterday I purchased 3 more pieces for something "special" for church fund raiser. Good excuse...whatever works.

    Do post photos as you work on your projects.

    A month ago I went through a complete clean up in my sewing room and also found lots of stuff that I had forgotten about! No more of that! I decided to organize my closet by color, not by fabric type. this way "everyone" could get a chance to be used in a quilt. It's also easier to see what colors I'm short of. I gave away lots of fabric to friend who is a new quilter, and now everything has it's place. Only patterns, books and fabric that I really love is in my sewing room. Ooh, does that feel good! ...and can you believe it? I even have more space!

    Great going all you quilters!!! I just bought some more fabric too. Just can't resist a good sale of fabrics. Big sale going on thru Saturday in Phoenix. Just can't decide if I should go that far to get more fabric. Oh well, there are other sales, I hope.

    Know that you are not alone lol, we are with you.
    The heck with going out to the stores - I am conserving on gas - purchaing online is enabling, especially when they offer free shipping - UGH
    Just started to organize my FQ - can't believe how many I have - SHOCKING
