It makes me feel better to know that I'm not alone in this problem.
Hello, my name is Jill and I'm a fabricoholic.
And a quiltoholic.
And a gadgetoholic.
You know, now that I think of it, someone can just lock me in a padded room with a big pile of fabric, cutting implements and a sewing machine ....

Congratulations! You are now officially an addict.... Here is the beginning of the 12 step program:
1) Go to your stash and study it while thinking of for who or what you would like to make a quilt;
2) Put the pieces you have selected and put them out on the table (or floor), move them around while still thinking of their future purpose;
3) Within sight of the fabrics, look through your quilt books/magazines and study patterns (this is in case you aren't already dying to make a certain pattern);
4)...... Well, I let someone else carry on from here. I hear my fabric calling... bye....

I see no danger, just more quilts to make in my lifetime!

I have added so many things to my bucket list, I will need to live until at least to be 200 years old to get them all finished.

I have lot I want to make but doubt I'll live that long so wrote about five down and am working on three of them now. I was told years ago that if I wrote my goal down I would be more likely to achieve them. Seem to be working.
