I cleaned out my quilt studio while I was home rehabbing a new hip and was really disturbed by the vast amount of fabric I have……whether it’s yardage or cut up scraps. My 13 year old grandson was helping me with the cleanup and he…..in as gentle a voice as he could manage said “don’t take this the wrong way, grandma, but I think you might be a hoarder?” I told him there was a big difference between a hoarder and a collector….the collector does in fact use the stuff they collect….and I have about 40 baby quilt I made this year to prove it. But the sad part is that it didn't make a dent in my scraps…..most of my quilts are scrap quilts. Still, I did decide to put a moratorium on my fabric buying until I use some of the stuff on my shelves.
