I feel like my quilting hobby is secondary to my fabric collecting hobby. My husband is so thrilled that I have found something that I am this happy with where I can express myself in a form of art he has not complained so far. (He and our grown daughter are both very artistic where I could not draw a stick figure without messing it up) He did find my stash about a month ago and told me not to buy any more until I have used up a lot of what I have as I could start my own fabric store. Really, letting go of fabric unless it is in a quilt! Not going to happen unless it is in a swap with one of your lovely people.
Of course I am putting some kits together for this summer so that will move some out of the stash. We go "camping" (in a trailer with a generator in case there is no electricity at the camp site) and I sew while he goes off fishing. For us it is the perfect summer weekend. He even bought me a screened dome so I can be outside while I sew.
Yes the fabric is very expensive but I watch sales in town and online and there is always ebay.
