My biggest weakness are those quilk kits on display at the quilt shops. As soon as I walk in the door there they are and I have to have one. Have several waiting to be made but thar does'nt stop me from buying more.

My weakness is fabric! Especially the new pieces! And to make matters worse, I work in a fabric store! But, since I do, I know when the sales are coming up! I'm also in a quilt group where I get more fabric that has been donated. "Take some home", they say! I've never been one to turn down quality cotton fabric. I need help!

I just purchased the new Oilso iron with Christmas money. That brings my irons to 5. I have binders full of pattens I have downloaded from the internet and a Magic Box to convert embroidery patterns to a format my machine can use. I have an impressive supply of stabilizers, thread , hoops etc. for my embroidery machine and there is no end in site.
I even have two floor hand quilting hoops one for upstairs and one for down.
I have been at this for more than 40 years. If there is really a prize for the one dying with the most I am working on being the winner.

Can I come play in your sewing room!!!!
I have to say I have a weakness for just about EVERYTHING quilting related!! I looooove to fondle the fabrics at the shops and if I see a fabric I love, I HAVE to get it.. I mean what's to say it will be all gone the next time I come back and I'll never get it again!! I just CAN'T take that chance!!!!!!!!
I too have binders and binders of free patterns from the Internet, and photocopies of patterns from friend's magazines of projects I just HAVE to make someday!!! I hope to get my embroidery machine this summer and yes I'll probably be wanting to get as many patterns and threads for the new baby!
I have three machines and share a serger with my Mum.
I have a nice stash of fabric and I know I will need to buy my house very soon if I am to make room for more fabrics I'll just HAVE to have!! :)
