Paid $8 for it and found out I had 11 yards when I got it home!! Woohoo! Do ya think I'm obsesses at all??? :thumbup:

A friend, who used to be an obsessive quilter, became an obsessive beader and gave me two six-drawer dressers full of fabric, plus about 3 boxes of quilting books and tools. That was 7 years ago, and it's been building ever since. Three years ago, I hit 35 stores in 4 days at our Western Washington Shop Hop, then traveled with my husband through Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Northern California and I hit 27 more. There went two month's salary! I still have people just giving me fabric as well. Oh, the life of a fabricaholic!!!
