You sound just like me. I have every nook and cranny filled to the brim. I went through my room and reorganized and it didn't give me any extra room. I had a big giveaway on my blog and everyone who entered (11 women) won a quilt kit and I still have a full room.
I offered a woman here to give her a couple of kits, but found that after last year giving 14 kits away to a woman who retired and giving some kits to other people, I finally have no EXTRA kits! But my room is plum full of kits I love and fabric lines and scraps and yardage. I have 3 dressers (one taller than me), 2 bookcases that are giant, lots of huge rubbermaid tubs, lots of different containers, all full of fabric and kits.
That said, I get lots of emails from online stores and open them and go the their stores and put things in my shopping cart and at the very last minute I click off of the "purchase" page. Sometimes I purchase, then feel guilty. I have way more than enough to last a lifetime. I'm getting better, but I found if I really like a fabric, really really like it, I better buy it now because in a week or two it will be all gone and I won't be able to find it.
Part of quilting is loving fabric and part of loving fabric is owning the fabric you love! How can you resist it?
