Me too! My husband recently told me that I would never get anything made because I was having to much fun playing with the fabric! I love it.

I've always called playing with my fabrics and threads my "natural valium." I'm not into drugs, barely drink, don't smoke... Gosh I have to have something to take the sting out of hard work days! Chocolate runs a close second to fabric play time, but a person can only eat so much after all. If playing with fabric had caloric value, we would all be blimps, I'm afraid.

I don't want any cure. Fabric is my sanity and long life cure.

As I was playing with my fabric I noticed it is easier to identify what the different colors in layercakes are if you fold them so...I started folding fabric and bundling them up according to color scheme. I'm going to be busy for a while just on layer cakes. Folding a stacking is better for me than lying them flat. I need to be able to see my choices.

When I am taking inventory of my fabric I feel as a carpenter does, looking for that perfect lumber to create his beautiful woodwork.

Like it is said, I love the look, the feel, of beautiful cotton! :thumbup: :D

I have had my stash of fabric for long enough to have forgotten what every piece in it looks like!
sooooo, now I go shopping in my big closet!
Long ago I have sorted it all into baskets of the same color family. The wonderful thing is that I am finding all the prints in all the colors I want, or need, to make whatever quilt I decide to make.....without spending any money!
er....I also found a couple of almost finished tops that I had forgotten about too! Talk about chortling glee!
Anybody out on my sidewalk would be convinced several demented screaming ladies lived here!
