Got u all beat.... help out my friend at her quilt shop on Saturdays. Can't walk from the front of the store to the back without drooling over something new that came in during the week. Rarely leave without something. Hubby says I work there to support my habit
Then I pass a JoAnns on my way home!!!! I love Saturdays!!!!!!!

I'm with you, I need to go to "fabricaholic's Anonymous" will you be my sponsor? Guess you will have to do it by phone since you are in southern CA and I am in northern CA, lol. My family has just given up on me, they just laugh and shake their heads. I guess the one good thing I have done is that if I die before I use up my fabric ( which is a good possibility since I have a store full of fabric) I put in my will that all my quilting stuff and fabric was to go to my guild and was to only to be used for philathropy to charities. It is not to be sold or given to members in the guild for their own personal use.

Same thing happen to me last week. I went for a yard of fabric for a binding, and ended up with a 6 inch square up ruler, a magazine, two cones of thread. First I have been in JoAnns since middle of last year. ICK I have to stay out of there.

Its kinda like when you run out of milk.. You walk in the store to grab it but you see other things you need along the way... then to walk out without what you came for in the first place..
I cannot tell you how many times Ive done that in the fabric store- only to have to run back in to pick up what I needed in the first place..
