Oh no. I wasn't planning on doing this... but now I'm going to have to tell you all about my dream. Here goes.

I dreamed that I died and went to heaven. It MUST have been heaven, because someone greeted me, and brought me into a room full of the most gorgeous fabric I had ever seen. (I think it was Hoffmans, with lots of metallics.) And there was a sewing machine, just like my beloved old Singer. And they told me, "Sit down, make yourself at home, go sew some Christmas tree skirts." Great! So I launched right into it. And from time to time, they brought me more fabrics. Each bolt more beautiful than the last. But after a while I realized that the bolts never got empty. And I never got done with the task. And that I wasn't actually in heaven after all, I was in my own private, tailor-made version of hell. And what was worst of all was that I couldn't even tell the difference!!

What can this mean???
Oh I can relate...some days, we have a LOVE-HATE relationship, to the stash that keeps us captive...and we like to think, it's the other way around! :wink:

Ladies, I love your attitude. I have been trying to get my husband to build a sun room on the back of our house. So far, no go. It's too expensive. I told him it would increase the value of the house. He liked that but still no go.
Big problem is I am 78 and I keep telling him I expect to be here another 25 years. He says "good attitude, but I don't believe you can make it to 103. I DO. I just feel that I will. The family room is already my sewing room. What use to be my sewing room is a small 9 X 10 bedroom. It has 4 cabinets in it for my stash. The rest of the room is the collection area for when I clean the living/dinning room for company. I am so bad.

As a three time cancer survior and a quilter, my motto, I can't die as long as there is fabric to sew and quilts to quilt. Needless to say, I am still buying fabric every chance I get. lol
