I know I'm a fabricaholic - and it does not help that my local LQS runs a sale a couple times a year - 30% off end of bolt. I had resolved to quit buying fabric, and this March the discount fabric store in town advertised going out of business and everything is 25% off. Their normal price on quilting cotton is $10 a yard so it's hard to pass much up at $7.50.
I've got several years to retirement, a good paying job, two adult kids that live too far away and no grandkids. Closest other relatives are over 400 miles away. So I spend my money and time on quilting - keeps from getting depressed about it.
My out of control color is Red - I have one whole row of reds, almost a row of blues, a bit over half a row of greens, one row of yellow/cream/offwhite, a couple shelves of browns and blacks. And one shelf of purple. I'm just not attracted to purple when I see a table of fabric.
