I have seen so many sewing rooms that look like Quilt Shops! Why do we feel the need for that much fabric? I can only think of a few "good" reasons.

1) Can't stop shopping for fabric
2)No time to use sew
3) sells quilts
$) I want to!

Can you think of any good reasons?

When you buy it on sale it saves you money!

You never know what you are going to need later.

Mine is for a 'rainy day'! LOL

I live SO far from a quilt shop that when I get to one I HAVE to stock up... it saves money in the long run... spend $$$$$ when I am there so I don't have to spend $$ to go back when I need something!

Sound plausible? I might use it on DH someday!

I would love to have a fabric shop in my quilting space too. I like your list but mine right now goes like this.

1) Can only look
2) Time to sew just not motivated
3) Some day I will sell them cause I need to support my habit if I can get motivated to make them.
4) no $$$$$$
5) Just knowing I can't shop is giving me withdrawal symtons, I do believe this is worse than trying to quit smoking.:O
6) maybe I do need a 12 step program.

Being in my sewing room I am secure, with all the pretty colors of fabric, thread, and my machine. Besides family leaves me alone, but than supper time rolls around and we do like to eat.
My sewing room reminds me of being with my mother and my aunt they both liked to sew.

WOW! all good reasons. I will have to get started building a stash! I am green with envy when I see a room filled with fabric! I think I took after my Mom save save save. Now I can save in a new way. Thanks for the help on saving!
