I usually walk out empty handed the first time, but plan on a return visit to narrow down my choices. If I walk into a LQS(and yes we have one that I'm talking about in my town) that has hardly anything on it's shelves, I wonder if they're going out of business. Sometimes less is more, but not when it comes to fabric,lol!!

However, even when overwhelmed by fabric, I almost always find something to add to my project list. This week I came home from the fabric shop with a mini Bow Tucks purse pattern (http://www.createforless.com/Quilts+...pid146491.aspx ) and a cute notions holder pattern ( http://www.javahousequilts.com/scrip...%7C%7C%7C1&p=7)

Some are smaller and decisions on what to buy are easier. Others are large with hundreds, or thousands, of bolts and I just stand frozen to the spot! I almost feel dizzy! Anyone else experience this?
Fortunately, as evidenced by my stash, this isn't a permanent problem :lol:

There is a store not far from here that I refer to as the "scary" store. It has shelfs 3 bolts high completely packed and then a row along the floor. Everywhere you look is just bolts of fabric. The rows are just wide enough for on person with everything that is on the floor. They are sorted by colour which makes it a little easier but you have to know what you are looking for in there.
