Patterns, patterns, patterns. Better than reading a book.

Wow..I collect books, sewing machines, crafty items, but these days it is thread. 40 years of dressmaking, embroidering, and quilting = cones of serger thread (hundreds), spools of sewing thread, quilting thread, sulky, robison Anton for embroidery and on and on!

pin cushions, thimbles, patterns, quilting friends, books. I also obsessively collect and print out free patterns from online. I must have a stack 18" high at least.

I'm a magazine collector myself. Can't get enough.

Books, magazines and gadgets.

Right now I seem to be buying many more threads than anything else. And I notice it seems to be getting more expensive than ever!

I'm soooo with Melinda. They are like rabbits in my house! They show up with friends. And then they all multiply! And the attachments... I cannot pass one up! ;-)
