    That is hysterical! I need one of those!
    This thread has been a hoot to read. Yes, I have a stash and list of quilts to make that exceeds my life expectancy, however, I'm not quite as deep as some of you. My roommate and I are both quilters, so turning our dining room into the sewing room was a no-brainer. We eat at the bar. Then I gave my daughter the good dining room table, so we set our 6 foot cutting table in the living room, since we never sit in there anyway. It's lovely to live with a partner in crime. We enable each other. No complaints if quilting is done instead of housework, cooking or yard work. We understand priorities! I was just eying my closet today and thinking, "hmmm, I bet I could build shelves in that space for fabric!" I just hope playing in your stash gives you as much joy as playing in mine does me. It's actually pretty cheap therapy!

    This is a great idea. let us know how your project is coming along. Actually cutting up yardage seems faster than cutting up scraps as it is neater, but you will have sooo many strips!

    I happen to love fabric, too, so I can sympathize. I don't have the bolts of fabric, though, and I do know where I got most of the fabric....

    I put myself on a fabric-buying moratorium that I didn't stick to last week. As I mentioned it to my DH (who is really an enabler) he said: "Don't worry honey, it's still cheaper than jewelry" - so that is my new motto. lol I think when you buy fabric in bolts, that kind of says it all. Enjoy your space (or spaces). The kids will move out soon enough and then the toys can be exchanged for quilting real-estate.
