I think we have the same dream. I also dream of being like Bewitched and wish I could just wiggle my nose and all of my housecleaning, laundry and everything else that takes time from my quilting would be done. I too have wayyyy to much fabric, and have only purchased in the last year or so something that I really need to finish a quilt, because I don't have that in my stash and have to travel so far to buy fabric. It's a good thing I don't get to Hancock's, Hobby Lobby or a quilt shop too often now. When WalMart here closed their fab. dept. we were all depressed, as that was the only place to purchase fab. within 90 miles from us. My quilting group and I really bought a lot when everything went on their big sale. I am also a recipient of loads of fabric, some I don't really need and some I really love. I have given away a lot that one person gave me, I just would never have used it. I will probably never use what I have in my lifetime left, however long that is, but I love pretty fabric and beautiful patterns. I only wish I had time to make all of the beautiful patterns I have collected. I am thinking that when the 4 quilts I need to get made for some special people are made, I will do a lot more for charity. I still have a few I really want to make for myself, as a just because quilt, using special fabric. Boy if we all lived near each other and went together, what a fabric store we could open. I could probably open a small one with just my fabric.
