I'm a fabriholic!!!! AND I have no plan to stop!! BUT I am also a bargain hunter, for example I got an email from my LQS last night. At 9 this morning -all clearance fabric will be +40% off the price, plus clearance fat quarters will be $1. Flat folds (which they carry for backings) will be $3.99. Ask me who is going to be in front of the door when it opens? ME I need backing for a couple throw size tops, so will I save the $$ to get there, you bet, do I have something in the stash that would probably work, probably, but that can be used when fabric price goes out of sight.

That's what happens to me, I find something that I had forgotten about & get excited all over again. Perhaps I should call my stash Amazing Grace..."I once was lost,but now I'm found!" ;)
(No offense intended.)

Well, while in the process of sorting...I kept coming across bags that held complete quilt kits or fabric for quilts with the pattern that I had picked out. I found 16 different quilt kits plus two quilt tops! (I'm going to take a wild guess that I MUST enjoy the planning process more than the actual sewing process...or at least this is what the evidence is pointing to...but I LOVE the sewing process...could it be that I just LOVE it all a little too much?) These are complete, ready to make with the patterns and most of them even had the quilt backing with them! Four were cut out and three were partially sewn! I also found the pattern and fabric for a new apron, the pattern and fabric for a bow-tuck purse, and the fabric for three different table toppers! So....I am banning myself from the fabric/quilt shops until I have completed at least half of these items!
I will not buy fabric, I will not buy fabric, I will not buy fabric!
I am not a fabriholic...I can quit anytime....I will not buy fabric!
