Blessed with more fabric and books!
 

Recently, I have been down with a injury so no sewing/quilting for me for the last few months. Being laid up, friends, family, neighbors have brought me some nice quilting magazines and books and even fabric! Not to mention, that I have been able to order from MSQC and others.( Gotta do something when you are down!) So I am getting a nice pile of projects for the future. Now, a friend has offered me a tub of fabric, which I gladly accepted! All very wonderful but When do we stop collecting? My room is full of things I can't get to now, but it is so fun! An addiction I think. Also, at the price of fabric I couldn't turn it down! Just wondering when you say enough is enough or do you?

I haven't said enough yet, even though I should. LOL

same with me

Never stop collecting but after sorting, if there are fabrics you will never use, pass them on to other quilters that could make use of the fabric. Find out what charity organizations are located nearby.

I'm a confessed fabric-alcholic, I don't think there is a cure......

I don't think I will ever stop collecting. I started with Carnival glass, went to auctions for more glass and got a winning bid of a Singer in a cabinet for $15.00, that is what started my addictions to sewing machines, fabric and anything quilty.

I tell my husband that I'm stocking up now for the time when we'll be on a fixed income and fabric purchases may not be in the budget.

He does not quite believe me, since I've got over 10 years before retirement.

I think that is a great solution. I probably wouldn't say "Enough" unless it involves shipping. Then, my bank account might determine how much I could ship. Otherwise, if I have good health, I'll probably at least try to use it.

When you run out of room, I suppose. I'm not there yet! I like to think I'm supporting the local economy!

I say as long as you have the space for it and desire to organize it so you are likely to use it and it gives you pleasure - enjoy! Our hobbies fuel our creativity and reduce our stress
