Any time I want to feel better about my fabric stash, I look for an episode of "Extreme Hoarding" on T.V. After seeing people that have so much stuff crammed in their house that they have to live in their car or truck, I don't feel so bad. See, it's all a matter of perspective. :-)

As long as I pay my bills and can comfortably afford to buy fabric I don't feel the least bit guilty in adding to my "investment" :D:D:D

Gosh, it sounds like a lot of us have the same disease. An additional problem I have is a lot of my fabric is so beautiful to me that I don't want to use it, or cut into it. It's like I'll never find any more!

Yes, those darn emails. I think I will blame them. If they did not show up at the end of the day (when I get home from work andcheck my email) when I am the most at risk (all tired and hungry) I would be much better.
Yes, let's blame them!!!

My husband will find out when he goes down to help me make sure everything is in order for their arrival but I think he knows about it already.
I just see fabric & think I may never find it again so I had better get at least 1/2 yard (usually more like a full yard).
Do you know of any quilters anonymous meetings or should I just start one in my area?

The fabric companies are enabling us by bringing out new fabrics every month then limiting the stock so we have to snatch it right up. Seriously, I have pre-ordered fabric that will not be delivered until July - There is always a new print or design and those jelly rolls and fat quarter bundles just call to me. Sigh.... I can't help it - I am a fabric addict....:)
