I love seeing it spread out, I love seeing it cut into stacks, or rolled into jelly rolls, I love seeing it folded into neat little piles, or even the scrap heap that collects from cuttings.

I love the feel of a quilt top, and can not help but admire the way it all comes together.

You are not alone ! My foster mother first took me to a fabric shop when I was about 7 to help pick out the fabric, or as she called it, material, for my clothes. Too, we didn't have a "shop" at that time, but a fabric area in the local "mercantile" store, which was a small mom&pop dept store with everything from fabric to housewares, etc.

I have always loved fabric...see it, touch it....own it.....I used to make all of my children's clothes, made draperies for our entire house, trying upholstery which was a disaster, made decorative pillows, including applique and smocked......

Gave up on sewing those items a few years back and didn't do any sewing whatsoever, got involved in knitting. Earlier this year I got bitten by the ole Quilt Bug, can't get enough ! Now, my almost every moment is taken by thinking about, planning, wishing, hoping to make a quilt from start to finish. I've made 3 tops so far, but haven't quilted any. I can't afford to send out to quilter and I think I'm going to get up my nerve soon and either try quilting on my machine or hand quilting.

Yes, you are a fabric addict, so join the happy ranks !

(not to mention the desire to purchase every piece of fabric I see for sale on here, sucks to be broke)

Am I a fabric addict?
