I love anything to do with quilting and have tons of it in my sewing room. (Honestly, it overflows to the guest bed room too) But, I am constantly using tham for charity or gifts of some sort. I don't feel one bit of remorse and I love the hours I have spent buying, scouring quilt stores and shows for them and I remember where I got each and every one.
I am a quilter and enjoy all of the fabric, tools, books and patterns that go with the hobby. Gee, there is nothing wrong with having something ahead of time. Right? It doesn't hurt anyone, isn't a bad habit, or out of control.
Sorry, I just get tired of hearing someone rant about how quilter's have so much. Why not??
