I used collect fabric to make my own clothes (or so I told myself). I worked in an office and hated what was sold and made my own outfits - more than I could wear in 2 lifetimes. I finally figured out, I just loved fabric!
So, I stopped making clothes and started quilting, cus, well I lived outside of Buffalo, NY and you dont need more of an excuse than that to own lots of quilts!
Now, I live in SC inland from the coast an hr and its cold about 2 -3 hrs a yr! LOL, so I dont make heavy quilts, but very thin quilts cus I just cant give up fabrics. I love to design and play w/ color too.
Could be why I loved my job - I worked in an art dept where we designed the art customers wanted printed on stuff. sharet
