When I was working, I did exactly what you did. My girl friend was my enabler, she didn't mind driving and had found a quilt shop going out of business. I know I went overboard, but I was getting fabulous batiks for half off, then there was this great quilt shop that had a bin of fabric bolts for $2.99/yd. There was nothing wrong with them, she just needed space to add new fabrics. I got a lot of backing fabric, one of which went on to be center stage for my church's raffle quilt - guess that fabric wanted the limelight, she was beautiful. Now that my husband is disabled and I went on Social Security because I couldn't find work, I'm happy I went a little overboard, as now I have a s tash for lots of quiltsl and fabric for lots of little dresses and toys for my granddaughter. As far as advice, I'd say go with the flow, as long as you still have money. I really don't think there's a cure.
