we were on a road trip, yep did a uey cause I saw a quilt shop sign, the next lady that came in behind me had done the same thing - and guess what??? we both came from the same big city living within 10 miles of each other!

LOL - this made me laugh. Had a doctor's appointment a few weeks ago and the nurse had on this really cute scrub top. I really had to restrain myself from reaching out to touch it, because I was sitting there thinking how I'd love to use that fabric in a quilt. Wonder what she would have though if I would have acted on the impulse. They probably would have had the men in the white coats come lock me up. LOL

I love seeing it spread out, I love seeing it cut into stacks, or rolled into jelly rolls, I love seeing it folded into neat little piles, or even the scrap heap that collects from cuttings.

I love the feel of a quilt top, and can not help but admire the way it all comes together.

(not to mention the desire to purchase every piece of fabric I see for sale on here, sucks to be broke)

Am I a fabric addict?

YEP,BUT WE HERE ARE IN THE SAME BOAT TOGETHER.LOL

Yes you are dear, aren't we all? There is not a 12 step program that will help us!

and you know, the price of fabric is just going to keep going up, so you might as well invest while it's cheaper.....:)
