    I embraced mine about forty years ago...the nice thing about it is I've decided that mine is one that doesn't require meetings, except for the ones held at fabric stores once a week or so. I have no one to answer to (do kids that holler "quit spending our inheritance!!), count? so I do as I please. If anyone feels the need for lessons to cope with this wonderful afflic...er, addic...er...hobby!!! please feel free to PM me...I'll either be here or at my LQS. Sign me, "no worries as long as the stash holds out" Momto5!!!
    If you feel like you're special...it's 'cause you are!

    I just moved from ILL to MT(2 weeks ago) and have finally got most of my sewing room together. I still have my totes of fabrics to sort and find places for as I can't put up wall shelves. Was attic space with angled ceilings so they wont fit. So now to go thru totes and sort before I can sew-going thru withdrawal !!!lol

    6 rubbermaid tubs in storage space in basement, two more in bedroom closet, two in dining room next to machine (one of those is scraps only)plus six boxes of varying sizes under basement steps and two or three bags in bedroom. I end up going to store when i decide on a specific pattern as never feel i have right amount in my stash of any one color. I cruise the thrift stores and usually cannot resist buying one or two or ? number of pieces of fabric that catch my eye. any yard sale that has fabric gets my attention also. I have friends who also check out yard sales for me or when they spring clean, save any fabric finds for me. Over half my stash is fabric i have inherited from family members as everyone knows I quilt and would put it to good use. And thats not counting all the books i've bought or the eight different quilt magazines i subscribe too. Call me a fabri-holic if you wish, She who sews last--had the bigger stash!

    I wonder if they could train special dogs (that could double as quilt inspectors) to come sniff us out when we get buried in our fabric? Hofffman Hounds? Moda Mutts?

    I too am a fabri-holic and am hoping that I get some for Mother's Day. I have managed (in just two years) to acquire LOTS of fabric and the only part that is scary is this: In two more years, will the amount just double or does it grow exponentially? DH asked me this morning if I "needed" to go to Lancaster, PA to get fabric. Of course I "need" to go, I still don't have ALL the colors of the Kona Cottons yet!
