Help! I think I need an intervention!
#101
You can over come........go to the fabric stores......there is an art to fondling fabric! Touch it, stroke it, make believe it is yours and walk out with a smile on your face and your money in your pocket! Just think the next shop might have just what you are looking for at a really reduced rate! Yeah right......roflmao!

If...and I say, "if", you REALLY need and intervention....you don't need to talk to a quilter, honey! You need to talk to your husband (assuming you are married) or one of your other non-quilting friends or relatives, or your priest or minister, .......OR just accept this as one of the many anomilies associated with all quilters and lay out a set of rules for buying (which you will break) and punish yourself when you break them (keep a couple of pkgs of chocolate in the back of the closet) and then "quilt, baby, quilt!" to resolve your guilt! LOL!

I think this is a good addiction:
1. fabric doesn't impair your driving ability
2. it's not like a drug that you take
3. it doesn't make you fat
4. I look at fabric as potential creativity and a source of beauty and satisfaction
I embrace my addiction and husby lets me be.

Really?! You came here for help... LOL. I had to hide that 4th machine (Baby Lock CoverStitch) from DH. When I finally fessed up after a few months, he expressed relief. He told me he had bought himself a new set of golf clubs but didn't want to tell me Hey, we all have our 'thing' - mine's fabric.

I used to do that a lot. But for some reason I have stopped. I used to rush out when Fabricland in Canada had their buy 1 get 3 sales. But most of that fabric just sat in my stash. So now I just buy fabric that I have a specific use for and a little of the "it is just nice".
I still have tons of fabric and I am sure I could sew for the rest of my life and never use it up.
