    I guess it would be quilting books and magazines, especially old ones. Its interesting to see how things have progressed in the last 40+ years.

    Quilt patterns. At one time I had over 4 thousand. It took me awhile but DH said we had to move If I got one more.

    I forgot cookie cutters (the old fashioned kind), gadgets of any kind, and cookbooks....I LOVE cookbooks.

    Also ceramic angels that are really old, colorful silk scarves, and birdfeeders. Oh, and sparkly pins to wear on my lapel. I have loads of them....I have to wear one every day just to give them all a chance to be seen.

    Gosh, sounds like I collect a lot of things. But I'm not a hoarder. Really, I'm not.
