Hubby already knows to stock up on bologna and nabs for the weekend because I will be no where in sight. You know when I realized I had an affliction?? At work when I could not focus because I opened an email with a photo of a new quilt pattern. Oh Good Grief! :thumbup: :-)

The nice thing is t his allows you to grow into a - gasp - Quiltaholic. There is a 12 step program for this: making charity quilts! and sharing the love of quilting with others.

Enjoy.

Welcome to the club! Have fun doing some stitching--it's good therapy! :)

I have this addiction also! While I am working on one project, I am planning many more. I need to learn how to machine quilt, because sending everything to the long armer is costing a fortune!

have my way someday well, if I live long enough that is. :D :thumbup:

I happily share in that addiction with everyone else!! I wish my stash was bigger, but I am slowly working on it. I am going to pick up an order from a LQS tomorrow of 1930's fabric. It is my most favorite fabric style and I have over 100 different pieces, ranging from 1/4 to 2 yards.

Many of us have the same problem. We're so excited with ideas rolling around in our heads. And this is my therapy! A very expensive session!!! Wouldn't want it any other way!

As for the machine quilting.... I do it myself. But the way I do it with the decorative stitching on my machine.

The best part about our 'addiction' is that there is no rehab to ship us to!!! LOL

This list is our rehab. We get support all the time even when we don't buy enough fabric!
