Guilty, guilty.

Although not anywhere near 350 books (hmm, don't think, maybe I'd better check) - as long as magazines don't count for a book. Do have some of my favorite magazines all organized into binders by year.

Lots to keep me full of ideas and my dreams full of quilts.

Life is good :)

Oh yeah. Guilty as charged. In fact, several books I've found when cleaning out my room I loved so much I bought them several times! I'll probably try to sell them here on the board. Hopefully someone will like them as much as I do.

Definitely fabric. I have a couple of books that have been given to me, but I mostly find the patterns I want online.

earlylace, A person can never have too many books. It's good that you are giving your grandchildren books, too. DH and I raised both of our kids on books and they did very well in school. Eiltcoq.

Guilty here too. My stash is soooo big and I have been buying fabric for years, in ungodly quantities! But, I have finally slowed way down on buying fabric (since reading Bonnie Hunter's website!) and I'm also working on UFOs this year instead of starting new projects. I hope to continue this trend until fall when I go on a quilting vacation with two quilting friends. We always buy fabric from the state(s) we're visiting and make a new quilt while on vacation. This year we're going to Maine so I'm planning to make a Mariner's Compass/Storm at Sea quilt with fabrics I buy there.

I love both, but lately I buy more fabric than books.

I too am guilty on both counts, anything fabric related and quilting related, be it fabric, books, notions, templates, I love it all and just cannot stop buying! I blame (thank) technology! Quilting items are too easily accessible now. Yippee!!!
