It doesn't damage my health or harm anyone else so I think it's all ok. It's part of who I am and what I do. The bonus in all of this is that I make some really nice things which make great gifts to share with others!

Quilters are assets to society!

I participate in the Fabric Moratorium. It's a great thread and a lot of fun. The best I can say about my fabric addiction is I've slowed down on my buying. If I purchase any more I will have to get another book case. I already have four full plus two walk in closets.

I don't know if there is but this photo has been going around the internet and you might get a laugh out of it.

Hi, my name is Marge and I'm addicted to fabric. However, I'm not willing to go into a 12-step program to quit buying fabric - not happening.
