That is how I buy fabric, I love to have lots to choose from and just buy what appeals me at the time. I have lots and lots of fabrics. I also love some of the fabrics at Wal Mart, maybe only 1 around here that sells fabric.
Jo Anns has some of it and sells it for more.

I have one too. I have nothing against Walmart fabric. They have some good stuff there. Your pink fabric is beautiful.

I used to work in a fabric store too in the 90's, and I have almost all of it used up. Even the "ugly weird" things I've made into something fairly pretty for humanitarian and charity quilts.

Hi Crystle. My name is Nancy, and I, too, am a life long fabricoholic. I am a fourth generation fabricoholic. My Mom, both Grandmothers and one Great-grandmother suffered from this hereditary affliction.
I used to manage a fabric store, and several of us used to have our own stash drawers, and we cherished the remnants.
One of our customers had a bumper sticker on her car that read " She who dies with the most fabric WINS!"
Welcome to the board, as there are lots of us here with the same "ailment"!

Okay, I'm a fabriholic too but after looking at the stashes of some on the board I'm not all that bad. At least that's what I've convinced myself lol
We HAVE to have enough stored away for our creative juices to flow!!! :D:D:D

Welcome from Az.. I usually buy 3 yards and didn't know that we weren't suppose to have a walk in closet full of fabric and drawers full of fq's. I helped the economy last week, I bought fabric, batting and notions every day. This week I will have to hide the credit card.

Well, you certainly came to the right place to get help with an addiction like that. Didn't you buy anything to go with the pink? Aaallllrighty then, we need to go back. Cut a little swatch off and we'll match it right up with something. Lets see, three yards, if you make small quilts that's enough to do several so we'll pick out different fabrics for each one. . . . . .
