    Gotta love those feed sacks! I made clothes from them for 4-H projects as well as pillow cases and used the scraps for quilts. You go girl, and use them up.

    LOL!!! Your an addict just like the rest of us!!! I go through spurts where I can't seem to stop buying fabric. Eventually, it will get used, if not by me, my kids.

    I guess I am out of control, also. I have been ill and needed some serious surgery a month ago. I can't sit up very long at one time and was backed up with daily posts. Don't tell my husband that I missed the QB more than anything!

    I haven't gotten into feedsacks (yet!) but love the 30's fabrics. My best friend used to hate them but as she saw them over the years when we went shopping, now loves them. I love that she is into them now but now we fight over any we see on clearance shelves!

    Hey, your addiction could be worse. I just bought my 18th sewing machine this morning. This isn't counting my 2 sergers. But, it's really not as bad as it sounds. The one this morning is a Singer 4562, that I found at a thrift store for $10 and works great. Most of the others range from $3.99 up to $40 for the highest. Actually 2 of them were free! Only about 6 are in full working order, with the rest being in various stages of disrepair (nothing too serious). But, I have them for a reason - someday I hope to have classes and teach sewing, since the schools nowadays don't seem to bother with educating the young with such valuable knowledge. Plus, I'm learning how to work on them, too. I've already figured out timing so well, that I can fix that in just a few moments on my main machine (Brother Pacesetter 1250) I find I can't resist if I see one for sale really cheap. Here's a pick of some of them...(a few machines ago, lol)

    So don't feel bad, it could be worse. At least the feed sacks don't take up much room.
    Oops, I just realized I didn't count my longarm. 19th.... my bad!

    Here the latest feed sacks I've added to my ever growing collection. It's like Christmas when I go to the mailbox.

    Some ladies have started up a group for fabricholics, but they do not stay long. They find that one fabric that they have to have. Sorry there is no help, we are all in the same boat.
