It doesn't count the collections that I've bought that won't fit in bags (Chocolat, Poetry Collection, Belle, Fuschia, He Loves Me and many more). I see it, I buy it. It probably won't be there when I go back. We all have had that happen to us. I will probably post some for sale here because I will NEVER be able to use it all up. I have told my daughter after I die, she gets the Gammill and her choice of kits. Then I want her to give certain kits to my SIL's, Niece and Sister. The rest is hers. Maybe after I get my fabric room together I'll post a picture. My webshots pictures shows a day that I received 20 packages in the mail. Only one was for my hubby. I'm a fabric addict. Sometimes I just stroke the fabric, knowing how much joy it will bring in a quilt. I would say I have over 3000 yards. And that's being conservative. Yes, I think I'll be putting some on here for sale.

Is there anyone out there who has this addiction too? What about the fabric makes you want to keep buying?

I don't have THAT much but i have enough to keep me busy for a while :lol: :lol: :lol:

Last summer I unloaded some fabric. It came to 3000 yds. It was a shock to me too. :shock:

I love the feel the smell the look and how I feel when I quilt it!

I may have a couple thousand yards as well!
I don't know how much really. Just lots.
But am always looking for more!

I want to have that much fabric when I grow up too! ;-) I have the addiction, but I'm a newbie so I have a long way to go. I'm so fascinated with novelty prints so if you ever have any that you want to get rid of, I'd be happy to help you clear out your stash. Enjoy your fabric when you get it!!

I dont have that much, but it is in my nature to collect, so I very well could get there at some point. At last count, I think I had 11 kits..but also have some that I bought (coordinating) thinking that I would find the "perfect" pattern to use them on.....sort of a "kit" in the making.
I am sure we will all be watching for your sale!

I don't buy kits but I buy way too much fabric-I am a junkie.I have way more than I can count-shelves -many shelves full.and bins full too,lol.

I was just thinking that an addict usually uses what they get (think -alcohol, drugs). They don`t store it. LOL. I hope you have a good insurance policy.

I really don't know how much I have...it could be that much..I have a closet full arranged by colors, a cabinet half full, a dresser upstairs full, another dresser 3/4 full, baskets full, and then tubs full of projects started, or fabrics pulled, strips, etc. I have collected fabric for a looooonnnnggg time though so it really doesn't seem like I spend a lot...I spend way less than I used to...just need to find time to start using some of it again.
