Good Lord! If there's a cure, I'd like to know what it is! My house looks more like a quilt shop than anything else, and I continue to buy more. My head knows it's ridiculous, but my heart has absolutely no control. Apparently, my heart has the checkbook.

It's an epidemic and none of us are able to help you. We can't even help ourselves!

Sorry I can't help you. There is no overcoming it- take it one day at a time. I don't have any other prized collections other than that fabric which provides creativity and therapy. So welcome to the world of quilting!!!

I'm sorry. I don't understand what the problem is.

In talking with my daughter last night, telling her about my 3 "new" vintage machines - she asked me why I needed 3 machines. I said, well to sew on all 3 at once of course!!!

Apparently I was unable to sufficiently explain the draw these vintage machines have. She looked at me, shook her head and said, "Mom, I think you've crossed over to the dark side!!"

At least you've founds some good buys! I always fall for the full-priced fabrics!

Oh dear, I think you are asking the wrong bunch of people! The best advice I can give you is ....DON'T LOOK! If I "see" a cute fabric on sale it is torture to resist.

we all seem to be stash hoarders here. I can't help you because I can't seem to help myself. It would be like the blind leading the blind .

I am right there with you. This week I am in Atlanta visiting my daughter. A dear friend of mine lives here, and she is looking for a sewing machine. I made the mistake of going with her one day to look at "sewing machines". I walked out of the first shop $225.00 lighter( $100 of it was for Designer's Gallery Studio Plus for my embroidery machines though). Next we stopped at JoAnne's and I spent another $45.00. That evening we went to Hobby Lobby (my first trip there) and lightened my wallet by another $65. And my friend STILL hasn't bought a new machine. I am NOT going out machine shopping with her again.
