Hi, my name is Sue, and I am a Fabric Addict.
These are the 12 steps to recovery that I wrote....but I've only made it to #2! LOL ● We admitted we were powerless over fabric—that our quilt studios had become unmanageable ● Came to believe that a new storage system could restore us to sanity ● Made a decision to turn our will and our stash over to the care of a professional organizer ● Made a searching and fearless inventory of our stash ● Admitted to ourselves, and to another quilter, the exact nature of our stash ● Were entirely ready to donate our old fabric to our Philanthropy Chairperson ● Humbly asked the Philanthropy Chair to come take the old fabric ● Made a list of all projects we had left unfinished, and became willing to complete them all ● Made direct efforts to complete such projects, wherever possible, except when to do so would require buying more fabric ● Continued to take stash inventory and when we were tempted to create another UFO or PIG, promptly admitted it ● Sought through classes and guild workshops to improve our completion rate and have the willpower to carry that out ● Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to fabric addicts, and to practice these principles in all our shop hops ● |
LOL. Good one Sue, you gave me a good giggle. I'm at about step 5 but that's about as far as I'm prepared to go. THey should have health warnings on those pretty little coordinated packs that get you started :lol:

12 steps are too many!
Would say this though... Qulter's Healing Phrases. 1. I am in a productive relationship with my fabric. I try to produce ...it keeps on producing. 2.I share my stash. I share with others....it shares inspiration. 3.Agreement is my motto. I agree to finish my projects....it agrees to supply me with more. 4.I am assured of my sanity. If ever I question....my stash remains adamantly silent. 5. I am a quilter. I am hopelessly addicted.....it is impossible to cure...I don't want one...my stash is my best friend....I find it late at night , or early in the morning...I .....gotta go.....it beckons once more. |
I totally agree with SANDRA. I'm addicited and I don't need or want a cure. It is my solace, and my own little world.
