When I was working, I did exactly what you did. My girl friend was my enabler, she didn't mind driving and had found a quilt shop going out of business. I know I went overboard, but I was getting fabulous batiks for half off, then there was this great quilt shop that had a bin of fabric bolts for $2.99/yd. There was nothing wrong with them, she just needed space to add new fabrics. I got a lot of backing fabric, one of which went on to be center stage for my church's raffle quilt - guess that fabric wanted the limelight, she was beautiful. Now that my husband is disabled and I went on Social Security because I couldn't find work, I'm happy I went a little overboard, as now I have a s tash for lots of quiltsl and fabric for lots of little dresses and toys for my granddaughter. As far as advice, I'd say go with the flow, as long as you still have money. I really don't think there's a cure.

Well I reached a point where I just do not have the money.
One day at a time works.
Every time you see a Hancock's, drive by and plan to go tomorrow.
Repeat that procedure until "cured."

I also try to decide what I really might do with what I have already and can usually talk myself out of another purchase.

If you don't want to buy "too much" or have a reason to be cautious financially, I won't enable you...

Do what you feel is best for you.

Ha! Sounds like you have the right beginning. But you also have an "in" on where to go for deals. I can't help you, but I'll go along so you can't buy it all!!!

I wish I could help but, I,m ready to contact Dr. Drew, the addition specialist.
I,m out of control and nothing I do will stop it, other than disconnecting my
computer and locking myself in the house.
Everyday, there are "sales" from everywhere on the computer and I say I,m just
going to delete it but don't, becaust I,m afraid I,m missing something.
If anyone has the antidote for this I,m more than ready.

Both of you have hobbies that produce beautiful things so.....................go for it...how about some pics of hubbies work. my dad was a cabinet worker, so I know how much work goes into that hobby too....

I have had to quit buying. Fabric is stashed in ALL rooms - ALL closets - and even the pantry!! You'll know when you just can't buy it anymore. When the fabric starts getting in the way of the purpose for which you bought it, well ... it's time to back down for a while. I LOVE looking at the the pretty fabrics I have but I need to get busy. Good Luck on your fabric adventure!! - Di

I will trade your addiction for mine, a LQS is closing and they are having fantastic sales, in the past 3 weeks I have spent approximately $700 on fabric, and next Friday what fabric is left will be .50 a yard..Today I paid $3.50 for Batik's!, normally priced at $10.75 a yard. I have enought fabric to keep me busy for the rest of my life and then have plenty to give away...I just LOVE fabric!
