you're a fabriholic when all the fabric store clerks know your name! Really I DONT have that much fabric, really honest. Its only 3 XXL bags and one bag has 3 60 x 60 battings and not much fabric, and the rest is well ya know not even to the top........... uummmmm hmmm When are the meetings>????? I am making excusses that is suppose to be another sign :oops: :oops: :oops: |
My biggest weakness are those quilk kits on display at the quilt shops. As soon as I walk in the door there they are and I have to have one. Have several waiting to be made but thar does'nt stop me from buying more.

I have three big weaknesses: fabric, embroidery designs and embellishments (iron-on rhinestones, crystals, beads and trims). My quilt room is stuffed to the gills!

My weakness is fabric! Especially the new pieces! And to make matters worse, I work in a fabric store! But, since I do, I know when the sales are coming up! I'm also in a quilt group where I get more fabric that has been donated. "Take some home", they say! I've never been one to turn down quality cotton fabric. I need help!

I have several thousand dollars worth of embroidery software patterns etc., every gadget and ruler that comes down the pike and fabric, fabric, fabric. I just purchased the new Oilso iron with Christmas money. That brings my irons to 5. I have binders full of pattens I have downloaded from the internet and a Magic Box to convert embroidery patterns to a format my machine can use. I have an impressive supply of stabilizers, thread , hoops etc. for my embroidery machine and there is no end in site. I even have two floor hand quilting hoops one for upstairs and one for down. I have been at this for more than 40 years. If there is really a prize for the one dying with the most I am working on being the winner. Can I come play in your sewing room!!!! I have to say I have a weakness for just about EVERYTHING quilting related!! I looooove to fondle the fabrics at the shops and if I see a fabric I love, I HAVE to get it.. I mean what's to say it will be all gone the next time I come back and I'll never get it again!! I just CAN'T take that chance!!!!!!!! I too have binders and binders of free patterns from the Internet, and photocopies of patterns from friend's magazines of projects I just HAVE to make someday!!! I hope to get my embroidery machine this summer and yes I'll probably be wanting to get as many patterns and threads for the new baby! I have three machines and share a serger with my Mum. I have a nice stash of fabric and I know I will need to buy my house very soon if I am to make room for more fabrics I'll just HAVE to have!! :) |

Dear BarbM,
I think your weakness is cars! What type of muscle car is in your picture? When was it restored? I am a quilter with a restored GTO and it's almost the same color! jo |
