Right on! therapy thats what we'll call it.
LOL :wink: |
I have only been quilting for a few years and I needed to clean out my stash. It was so hard. I picked out a storage tub of material that I deemed not useable and am giving it to poor folks in Zimbabwe. I can't wait for them to pack the carton at the end of the month because I have looked through the tub several times to "make sure" I won't be using this material. Fabric is addictive!

Oh this is so much fun reading about all of you that have the same addiction as I do. Sooooo glad Niecie Nash can't see my stash.... :shock:
But there is an up side of all of this...if you can't make it to the quilt shop you have your very own store right at home. :D |
I have not bought fabric since Jan 1, 2011.(GASP)
6 friends have challenged each other.. who can go the longest without buy fabric??? 4 are still in. Here's a hint... Do not-- I repeat-- DO NOT go into any fabric store!!!!!!!!!!!!! The other thing that has helped me is that I am so swamped at work I have not touched my sewing machine in weeks. I am a bit grumpy-which I have attributed to my workload but I am sure part of it has to do with rarely crossing the threshold of my sewing room--GASP... I may play with fabric this weekend --maybe I'll at least touch some batiks.. It is a painful process but you can take care of those beautiful UFO's and kits!!! Remember why you bought that beautiful fabric and be re-inspried!! |
RFBRAZELL, with all of that fabric in your quilting room you woud think that it would be nice and cozy warm, and without drafts.

We all have a story! When I go for supplies I only "see" green and purple these days. I'm hooked on the combo. So, to get me out of that, I get fat quarters (OH HOW I LOVE THEM) from several websites each month to expand my palette a bit. Well, need I say more? There are days I'm afraid to open the quilting closet door for fear of an avalanche!

Welcome Michael. I too am a fabric hoarder. I am drowning in stash thank to my friends and all the 1/4 yards I have bought that I plan to use later. When my friends found out that I was learning to quilt they cleaned out their fabric stash and their mothers and aunts who no longer sew. I did reach a point when I had to say Stooooooooooooooooooop. I have tried to start organizing and boy is it overwhelming.

Michael, I don't feel so bad about my 'bad habit' now! lol...you are definitely not alone! I even called an online company about NOT getting fabric I ordered last week and I found it under a pile of other fabric I had either bought from them or from Joann's! Then, with egg on my face, had to contact them and say, "um, oops. You're going to laugh, I hope, when I tell you this..."
|
okay. I said that wrong! I didn't order the material LAST week, I call the company LAST week! I had ordered the material a month ago! ;) My typing is faster than my thought process!!
