    NO! You are not a fabric addict. You are a wonderful, smart, creative person who enjoys fabrics to create beautiful things!!! Painters need paint, computer programers need computers, brick layers need bricks, etc. We NEED fabric.

    In stitches,
    Roberta

    I'm a total fabric addict, some people crave chocolate, well ok I like that too, but give me fabric anytime. I love that analogy, I'm an artist and fabrics are my tools, I'm going to make that my new mantra :D

    Yes, just like the rest of us! I was in a LQS last weekend for some solid back fabric and I told myself before I went that I didn't need anything but the black fabric. I walked out with $179.00 worth. When the fabric catches my eye, it must go home with me!!! It screams at me.... Take me with you! I can't deny!!

    How could you sew and create WITHOUT fabric? I guess you can cut up the clothes you are wearing but then you would become chilly. You can cut up your sheets on your bed but then you would have a lot of pieces in all the same color and texture AND it is very uncomfortable to sleep on a mattress without linens. You could also cut up the curtains on the windows but then you can't cut up your clothes too because then the neighbors would see you naked sitting at your machine. Go ahead. You need to buy fabric. It is a necessity.

    I'm an addict and proud of it. :thumbup: If I'm surfing the net the family knows it's usually a fabric store of some sort or this forum. :-)

    Your question can be answered "yes" without ever reading it.

    I'm so glad you are part of this board. Allows me to admit that I'm a fabriholic, too.

    Yes, but unlike other addictions, the results are positive and beautiful!
