I guess the one good thing I have done is that if I die before I use up my fabric ( which is a good possibility since I have a store full of fabric) I put in my will that all my quilting stuff and fabric was to go to my guild and was to only to be used for philathropy to charities. It is not to be sold or given to members in the guild for their own personal use.
My son's just ignore it-DH just laughs now-I am staring as I right this, at all the fabric I bought since December-I actually had to take a photo of it! I get so much enjoyment from it, and since I am not working, this is my passion-but it's getting worse! I use to be in the theatre and sing in a choir, but don't do any of that anymore, so this is my substitute. I just say I could have a worse hobby-I could spend the little money I have on shoes or jewelry or clothes, I could drink and smoke (can imagine what that would cost per month!), I could sit on my can and watch tv and pop bonbons, etc, but at least I have something to show for it! None of my family and extended family have ever complained when I made them a quilt or a purse/bag! And, I don't plan to die until I have used up EVERY SINGLE SCRAP of my stash-so they'd better be prepared to have me around for a LONG time! LOL
