Yes, I love fabric and I can say that this "thing" goes back several generations in my family. When I was in High School my mother, aunt, grandmother and I were walking down the street heading to a restaurant for lunch when we realized that my mother had drifted away from our group. After catching up with her, she finally explained that she had been imagining what the flowers on the lady's dress in front of her would look like in her next project and so she just kept following her. Mom was mentally cutting the flowers out of the material and appliqueing them on squares. Unfortunately, the women thought my mother was out of her mind. That is how this "thing" just keeps going on in our family. No wonder my husband and sons think I'm a little nutty. "It really does run in the family!" (They actually help feed the monster too often with more books and material.) JC
