How could you NOT check out quilt shops when you travel?? Your addiction is not deeply ingrained yet?! My hubby is cooperative. He has a collection of ascots, so he picks out something very bright for me to make an ascot and doesn't give me any grief at all over how long I take or how much I spend. Since I'm still among the unemployed, my spending is extremely conservative - for now! That doesn't stop me from petting fabric!
