My DH says that it is an incurable disease and that there is no cure!!!

I say I am getting ready for the drepression when we won't be able to buy fabric.

I spent my pocket money on fabric to make dolls clothes when I was 8 years old, so I guess there was never any hope for me.

What we really need to shop for ladies, is another one or two life times, just so we can sew up all the fabric into the scores of patterns we have. Please let me know if you find where to purchase them. I have been trying for awhile, but so far, no luck.

No! It's part of the fun. Almost all of us are addicts. Don't you just love looking at your stash and just running wild with all the possiabilities right at your finger tips?

My car has a homing device that makes it go to any and all fabric and quilt shops; sometimes it seeks out garage and estate sales too. Not my fault, it just does it.

Yes, I love fabric. How many of you have fabric that is "too good" to cut?

Par for the Day: I am with you, I don't buy fabric unless it is on sale, but with the internet you can almost always find something on sale. Right now I am holding the line at $5 a yard, so that limits me a little. It is still amazing how much fabric you can find for under that price.

To think, I had not considered looking for fabric online before! And you are so right - easier and easier to find fabric for around $5, give or take. To find good fabric on sale to boot - that's just about the best!! :)

I loved the video. It is really quite funny on how we quilter will do anything to purchase more fabric. lol

Susan: What a great deal! I can hear the doors slamming as we all head out to look in our local thrift shops.
