Hi Michael, I'm Chris and I'm a fabric hoarder. In truth, I'm a hoarder of all things and it was only through remediation of flood damage that I was able to recognize my problem. That was before I became a quilter though so only had saved back some clothes and the odd piece of fabric picked up at yard sales.
Now that I'm a quilter and have discovered quilting shows, and shop hops, and quilter yard sales I realize that I am a shopaholic, I've just switched from jewelry and knickknacks to fabric. It is the thrill of procuring the item and the having of a beautiful thing.
And yes, going through periodically and sorting and having the 'aha' moment all over again ;-)
I think I'll try doing that the next time the urge to buy steals into my psyche....at least that is free!
