I know it's a sickness...I cannot drive past a fabric store without going in and buying fabrics for which I have no (current) use. And I've got so many UFO's that my husband is considering an intervention. I have been sewing since I was old enough to thread mom's old Kenmore machine. It was blue and in a blonde wood cabinet! I have been quilting since 2006 so I guess I'm still a newbie. I love all aspects of quilting but I am especially fond of cutting up all those colorful little pieces and sewing them together to create something beautiful. It reminds me of that toy from the early 1960's: Colorforms. Am I showing my age or what! I am a machine quilter thus far but I have a secret yearning to do hand quilting someday. Maybe when I retire from full time nursing....
Hope to hear from you all!

Welcome from Florida. I remember colorforms!

My name is Nina and i m a fabri-holic too :wink:

Hi, I'm Sharon and I am a quiltaholic. I don't think I want any help! I like feeling fabric! I caress mine whenever I walk by it. It feels so gooooood. :lol:

Welcome to the board! :lol:

Welcome, but I hope you aren't hoping for an intervention here. If anything with all the beautiful things posted by members you WIP list will grow longer and longer.

*Waves from Iowa* :)

Welcome from Southern California. Many of us here have that disease. I just can't stop buying, if only a small piece or two. I remember Colorfroms, barely.

Hello....seems you are not alone....I don't think it's a sickness....more a passion (there, that feels better doesn't it!). Gotta love passionate people!

Welcome from a semi-retired RN. You have much in common with us here--we're all addicts (and enablers).

Hi and Welcome from Northern Indiana ! Can't wait to see some of your quilts :shock: We love pictures :wink: As for an intervention, not gonna happen here... sorry . We love our fabric 8)

Welcome from sunny Southern California. Don't expect any help on your fabri-holic passion here. As has been said - this site is FULL of enablers and fellow addicts. Glad that you found us....now you're among your own kind. :lol: :lol:

You're in good company amongst the other fabri-holics here. Welcome!

I can help you! What you need to do is this: pick out about a dozen fabrics that you can't live without... and send the rest to me!

LOL! Welcome aboard! You won't find anyone here who will discourage you from buying fabric!

I a fabri-holic too and proud of it. I dare someone to try intervention. LOL>

Hello and Welcome :D :D :D

Hi from Massachusetts, and welcome. Your part of the group.

Welcome!!
We're all fabrics addicts here.
All we'll do is feed your addition. :twisted: :twisted: :D

Welcome :!: Isn't this a nice place where sooo many people understand us :D :D

Welcome from Red Bluff, CA! Hi my name is Beth and I'm a fabricaholic! I sure hope they never come up with a 12 step program for being a fabricaholic. That would ruin my fun!!!

Hi and Welcome from southern Indiana! I think that all of us here on the QB are fabraholics......

Well welcome from a fellow nurse from TN.......you do not need an intervention........WE ARE your intervention........the problem is we all love fabrics..........that is why we have so many wips.........

Welcome from Florida! I just finished moving into another apt. and after filling 25 gallon totes my dd stated she will never move fabric again or she's selling them! NOT! I think we calculated over 50 lbs of fabric and like u every time i enter my lqs or walmart or any store that carries fabric I must buy some! So I too am a fabricholic!

Welcome from CT - there's no cure for what ails us - thank goodness!

You've joined the right group, at least for fabricholics. LOL

Coming here to confess your fabric addiction is kinda like an alcoholic going into a liquor store to confess his!!!! We're ALL Fabric-aholics!!! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll:

welcome from the state of arkansas.

Welcome from Ireland, and I won't be joining Fabriholics Anon either. I love my stash collection, but still never seem to quite have the one I want for a new project.

Welcome from Washington :D

Hi J-La, welcome from Northeast Alabama. Problem with fabric, esp scraps, they seem to multiply. The more I give away, the more I feel I need to replace, so the merry-go-round is off to the races every time I see remnants and clearance fabric. I have some larger pieces that are 5 - 6 yards. I don't know what I'll make with all of them; however, I'm sure that over time i'll incorporate them into quilts or make items like pocket totes, green bags, etc. There's always a use for every bit of tiny fabric if you look long enough. Happy fabric buying & quilt making.

Welcome from Roscoe, Illinois.

Welcome from South Louisiana. I, too, am a fabri-oholic. AND I DON'T WANT HELP. :lol: My DH calls me "Fabric Fingers" bc I can't go near fabric without touching it. You'll love it here.

Welcome from Pine Grove, CA!

Yes, let's have an intervention, it will do us all good.
Hum......I think my Local Quilt Store would be glad to
donate a place for our meeting...... :lol:

Ooooh. You are me. My sewing room is filled with bins and bins of fabric that I can't part with! When I see certain patterns or colors - well, I just have to have it. I suppose it's better than drink or drugs! :lol:

You need 'help'?I'm not reallys sure what the problem is...maybe you just need company!LOL Which you will have plenty here! And, we are so good at helping that addiction grow w/ideas too!LOL Skeat

Hi and welcome from Ninnie in NC

Welcome from Tucson, AZ. Lots of fabric- and quilta-holics here. Proud too!!!! :) :) :)

Welcome from another "Fabri-holic" in Texas :-).......together we can deal with this addiction...lol

HI J-La, My name is Jaynie and I'm a fabrichalic too. When my family ask why I'm buying more fabric here is my answer..... I buy now while I can, so when I am old and can't get to the fabric store by myself....I will have this huge stash and they won't have to take me to the fabric store. Enough said, no more questions, and after all most of my quilts go to family anyway and they are always asking for more quilts. Enjoy your obsession/passion, it's fun, non-fattening, and can benefit others. Welcome to the board from the west Texas area.
