Oh Yeah! I just have so many things I want to do. I just bought 2 new books this week. So many ideas floating through my mind. I bet I have at least 25 patterns and books that I want to make something. At this rate, I am going to have to live a long time, because I know by the time I get to these I will have at least that many more added to my collection. :P

My sister calls it PAS, Pattern Acquision Syndrome. I also have books. Way to many ideas and take up too much space. Next week, while I am on vacation, I am going to start weeding them out. Will be posting them for sale. (I think I can. LOL)

Arm waving frantically....that would be me!!! I LOVE patterns. Can't help myself. Just the feel of them make me excited!
I even print out patterns I've downloaded off the internet...fold in half...and place in a ziploc bag so they "feel" like a purchased pattern.
Is there a 12 step program for this?

When I started quilting, a friend "loaned" me several books of patterns. That was 6 years ago and I still have them. She doesn't quilt anymore and hasn't asked.
In the meantime, just so they don't get lonely, I have every issue of a couple of quilt magazines for the last 5 years or so, plus a few that I just HAD to pick up.
Add to that several patterns for quilts and bags, plus my fabric stash and 2 sewing machines and you get an idea that, "Yes" I belong to a cult!
