I recently heard a saying that I think is true. A sewer goes to the store and buys a pattern and the fabric and notions for it and goes home to make it. A quilter goes to the store and sees the fabric she likes and buys it even without knowing what she's going to do with it. We love fabric and we know when we see fabric that we like eventually we'll use it somewhere or not. But we buy it because we like it and sometimes we buy it for a certain project.
