I need time to think how and which person I would use it for .

So for my pocketbook sakes I try not to take him.
No, my dh would be bored stiff if he came along as I shop for fabric!

You don't do your quilt work in that room do you?

Not unless we're out of town. He may browse a bit and then leave but he never rushes me :)

You have a great place to quilt. I would have hubby to put up shevles all alone the wall something like this. I need more shevles myself, what I have is ful nowl. All of it is not cotton fabric. :-( I use acid free board to wrap the fabric around it.

Geeze, if your Husbands influence increases your fabric purchases maybe I should start bringing yours around mine so it will rub off! ;)

No, I don't bring Hubby, and I don't think anything short of several hundred dollars in payment could entice him to come along. Lol* He has zero...wait, if there's something less than zero...that's how much interest AND patience he has for fabric shopping! LoL* I don't mind though, he has a baseball card hobby and I'll be darned if I'm going along with him to his baseball card shops either! LOL*

My DH is only along on the trip if we are traveling. He just hangs out or if he knows it will be a long time- he goes and plays golf.

Wish I wasn't so far away- I would work along side of you to tidy up your room. That's what I am doing this AM- putting the patterns I pulled and sorting scraps before the big day-Tomorrow is production time.

I'm not sure how you know you have too much fabric.

I don't usually take DH, he gets rather antsy and I have to look at ALL the fabrics. But I do have to agree with previous poster, DH would divorce me if my craft room was as overstuffed as yours.
