Is anybody as bad as me. When I pass a fabric store or look at fabric on line, it speaks to me "Come in and browse, I know we have something you like." I have so much fabric now that I really don't have room for it. My favorite problem is having a machine break. That's why I always keep a new one still in the box, but tried out to see if it is OK, so when one breaks, I just switch. Just happened this last week. My 7 year old Brother who has made 6 queen size quilt and many, many lap robes started to just click each time the wheel turned. My new Kenmore is wonderful. Yes, I'm a quiltaholic, fabriholic, yarnaholic, sewing machineaholic and designaholic. Design many of my own creations. If, when I take the Brother apart I don't find the problem, Walmart here I come.

The designers are making such pretty fabrics and patterns, and all of you are putting in pictures of gorgeous quilts. You are all to blame, not me! You are enablers! (just kidding of course!)

I belong in this group, too. I have 5 sewing machines and a basement full of beautiful fabric. I sew and most of my problems seem to go away. That's a good thing. Sometimes I can even forget about food when I am working on a quilt. I get up in the middle of the night and sew until morning. Do I have a problem? I don't think so, I'm just practicing coping skills.

I know that it is a serious addiction for me, and last week, when I went into an LQS (needed a couple of little things), I took someone with me, told them to be my 'Fabric Police' and not allow me to buy any more fabric!
It worked!
