Yes, I am a quilter, and I have fabric.. I don't think I have an excessive amount.. I have mostly scraps, and very little yardage.. I like to use scraps, and don't use patterns.. That's just my personal preference.. I also don't like to waste...
I went to a tag sale at a house of a quilter.. The woman passed away seven years ago at the age of 54.. The husband has a girlfriend, and they were moving.. What was at the sale scared the crap out of me.. She had a studio in on the upper floor.. One area was floor to ceiling shelves with fabric yardage folded.. The other room was filled with boxes of fat quarters, and other fabrics.. She had templates, and duplicate templates, multiple rulers, and scissor.. The more I thought of it.. There was no way this woman could possibly have used all of the stuff in there, even if she didn't pass away early.. My question is. When does it change from need based to hoarding?
