Before quilting I was addicted to counted cross stitch. Had magazines and books taking up an entire wall. Boxes of every thread. I wouldn't work on anything less than 18 count fabric. Arthritis put an end to it all. I miss it so very much. But Fabric and quilting has taken its place.
Yes, this sounds like me. I have an addiction to any needlework crafts. I am not at the point where I have started to go thru all I have in the different things...quilting, needlepoint, cross stitch, embroidery to name a few and weeding with heavy heart to keep what I know I want to do and letting go of all the other things I just don't have time for and letting someone else hopefully enjoy them. Not enough hours in a day and life makes it so I have to hold a full time job. So can't spend the time playing in my crafts like I would like. Yup, addictions for me.
