Well I'm on a fixed budget so three yards is way more than I could get. But I'm definitely starting to plan to have my home full of fantastic fabrics on every surface. This is so great.

When I got to JoAnn's I found the most fabulous ultra suede with a running stitch floral pattern. It was the perfect color for my livingroom. So it immediately went in the basket. As the fabric was being cut I realized that I could have an entire house full of fabulous fabrics. And I felt a decided itch. Is this the beginning of the fabric addition? But never fear, something this good just CAN'T be bad for you.......Right?? |

I had a coupon for the fabric, so that was a big decision maker on how many yards to get. LOL I usually plan ahead and buy fabric here and there so it doesn't break the budget. Hence my growing fabric stash... LOL

Never met a quilt shop I couldn't stop and shop at. I keep my quilting travel guide in the car all the time.

It is most definately the beginnings. There is no known cure for TFAS (terminal fabric addiction syndrome) because as of yet nobody WANTS a cure found, with the exception of a few significant others. Dive into your TFAS with the knowledge that there is no suffering associated with this disease and that it is widespread so there are many support groups to encourage and help you reach your full potential along the way--this is one of them. Other symptoms may include, but is not limited to, scouring Craiglist, garage sales, fabric stores and estate sales for bargains, putting up shelves to hold your fabric, building or creating rooms devoted to your addiction, etc. The main thing to remember is DON'T try to curb it. Stifling TFAS may lead to depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, and general grouchiness.
