My name is Jen and I'm a fabric collector. But I also buy fabric to use in my and my mom's quilt shop, so I justify it that way. A lot of our customers choose to pick their fabrics out of our stock instead of going to fabric shops and buying it themselves. I keep 6 of each color shade for them to choose from and a bolt of white and cream in stock. We've been lucky though,we have not had to use personal money for any supplies except for the start-up supplies,and that was paid back with the first quilt. If you consider yourself a hoarder,find a use for it. Sell the quilts,or donate them to nursing homes,hospitals,fire departments. The soldiers overseas are very grateful for quilts. It reminds them of home and it does get quite cold there at night.
