My husband retired and now is the one to bring the mail in - so I have things delivered to my work instead. :)
My husband does appreciate it when I can get in my stash and pull together something with what I have on hand. He also is a great shopper - loves to go on shop hops and has a very good eye. I'm the one who has to put the brakes on our spending - even with fabric. So when I find a really good deal and he wouldn't understand why that can be purchased when I didn't get something else - I have them delivered to work. One step at a time - maintaining peace in the household. |
Very funny! Thanks.
|
So, so true. lol.
|
And this affects a few select men!
I keep telling my husband he needs to buy me the house next door, or convert the garage, so I have room to store my fabric and I could have a quilting room. And he thinks I'm joking, kinda. |
I am sooooi sending this to my hubby. Especially since I'm going to Paducah next week.
|
That is adorable & worthy of passing on!
|
Love this. If we can't laugh at ourselves, others will. There could be worse things to be addicted to!
|
I'm with JCrow AND Sew in Tune - and very grateful to not be alone with my little (and getting bigger all the time!) secret!!
Whoever wrote that piece is a genius! |
I knew it!

My shopping habits finally explained!!! LOL
|
This affects some men too
|
So cute! I am going to share with my quilt guild maybe wearing earplugs and a mask!
|
It absolutely sounds true. Love it! Lol thanks!
|
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. There just had to be a scientific reason for fabric collecting. I wonder if a study of us vintage sewing machine collectors would produce similar results?
|
This is a great piece of information and so true. I never had to hide what fabrics I brought for my stash. I use to make all my own cloths and once in a while husband would as me if what I was wearing was new. No it was not new(at least a couple of years old) which goes to show how much "some" men pay attention. I.Q. has nothing to do with this.
Laughing here. |
Priceless!
|
again i say never know what those fabrics and rotary cutters whisper in our ears keep on going quilters
|
But is there an Rx for us? Or, do we want one? ;)
|
Oh Man!! Now I know what is wrong with me.
|
Soooo true. Thanks for sharing. LOL
|
That is really cute. So true.:thumbup:
|
This is too funny, thanks for sharing.
|
Thanks you so much for this. I definitely believe this is true.
|
So now we know. Thanks for sharing this.
|
funny and true I think

I don't know who wrote it, so I can't give credit where due. But I had to share! Maureen __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ On the Lighter Side A recent study indicated that fabric gives off certain Pheromones that actually hypnotize women and cause them to purchase unreasonable amounts. When stored in large quantities in enclosed spaces, the Pheromones (in the fabric) cases memory loss and induces the nesting syndrome (similar to the one squirrels have before the onset of winter i.e. storing food). Therefore perpetuating their species and not having a population loss due to their kind being cut into pieces and mixed with others. Sound tests have also reveled that these fabrics emit a very high pitched sound, heard only by a select few, a breed of women known as "quilters." When played backwards on an LP, the sounds are heard as chants, "buy me, cut me and sew me." In order to overcome the so called "feeding frenzy effect" that these fabrics cause, one must wear a face mask when entering a storage facility and use ear plugs to avoid being pulled into their grip. One must laugh, however, at the sight of customers in a quilt fabric store, with WWII army gas masks and headphones! Studies have also indicated that aliens have inhabited the earth, helping to spread the effects that these fabrics have on the human population. They are called Quilt Fabric Store Clerks. It's also been experienced that these same Pheromones cause a pathological need to hide these fabric purchases when taken home (or at least blend them into the existing stash), and when asked by significant other if the fabric is new, the reply is "I've had it for awhile." __________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ |
Loved it!! Got my smile in for the day!
