The things I collect that are not quilt related are birdhouses and collectible spoons. I probably have at least 40 birdhouses and about 300 spoons that my children have purchased for me from all over the world. I have a daughter that lives almost half time on a cruise ship (her husband is chief officer for Holland America... :D ). My spoon collection started out by inheriting my grandmother's spoon collection after she passed away.

Books and magazines.... ;)

Magazines and patterns. Running out of room for mags, so now I have this board and all the great free pattern links, advice and tutorials I am letting my subscriptions slide.

I collect Books, Magazines, And I have a cool collection of Old Pin custion. Started with my Grandmothers, Aunts,and Mother-in-law. So now I look at flea markets and garage sales. There are some really neat ones out there.

I've gone through collecting pfases. If I could win the lottery I would have an amazing collection of machines. Good cutting tools and beautiful threads make me happy and I endeavor to collect them.

OOps, spelling error, Phases. Sorry 'bout that.
