Yes color is just like food to me; I find something I like and that's all I want until the next good thing comes along.

If God created it, I like it! In other words, don't be in a hurry when you go to a fabric shop with me, cause I want to ohhh and ahhh over ALL of it!

It I am in a LQS and the fabric catches my eye, I will buy it! Once I have the fabric, I find the right pattern that matches the fabric. Yeah My stash is out of control!!!

I have no real favorite color!

I love Earthy tones, blues (all shades) dark greens, dark purples, tans to dark browns, reds. But I really do like all colors. I do have a ton of blue in my stash, and very very little batik (I'm not a fan)
