You work all day at a job, you have a child, and I imagine you also try to keep your house in some sort of order. To me that says you are not lazy. Or at least you are not able to be lazy at this point in your life. Trying to make quilts or sew clothes is probably giving you stress that you don't need right now. Who does? If all you like to do is go into your sewing space and stroke your "collection" of fabric, that's perfectly OK. Give yourself permission. It's giving you pleasure and helps you to relax. But if it makes you feel guilty because you're not making something with it, that's not good. Don't do that to yourself. Tell yourself, because this is true, that this material will be used to make the most beautiful things. And until then you're storing it, because by the time you get to use it, all of those fabrics will be "out of print" and you would not be able to purchase them anymore. You'll be so glad you have them. 8-)
