I love the honesty of this thread. It's one I wn't be sharing with my DH though, he just doesn't understand the need to touch, feel, and even inhale fabric. I find that the feel of fabric is often a determiner for what I buy.
I used to buy heaps of fabrics for all sorts of projects (yes I SEW too)and as a result have the stash to prove it. Every now and again I visit with my stash and decide that for the next project I still need a few other pieces. I am a lost cause but happy that I know I'm not alone.
