Not three walls worth (lol...) but more than I am comfortable with. I get nervous with too much fabric and it becomes worrisome for me.

Have been quilting for so many years, but it is all so joyful! Today is a snow day here and I am still doing my annual reorganizing. Do give away some fabrics just don't want anymore, but for the most part love what I have chosen and the fun memories of shop hops little trips with my best quilting buddies it is just the best. Plus the many gifts made and given.It is my passion! So who's keeping track of $ spent haha. I sew I sew so off to work I go! None is purchased on credit cards. I don't drink or smoke or gamble or compulsive shop for any other items and quilts are soo useful. Enjoy our hobby sisters!

Last year hubby worked alot of overtime so I spent more than usual :oops: he is still working OT but I've been really cutting back because there is only so much time in a day and don't feel the need to compete with anyone.
I'm trying to finish UFO's and WIP's before I buy more,although the rule was broken this last weekend,when it was my B-day and hubby took me to a quilt shop :wink: But what I did buy would be for other planned projects that I already had part of the fabric for and a few patterns.
It was alot of fun but now I'm gonna try and stay focused :D :D
