hello my name is Linda and i am a fabric fondler. I was a rural mail carrier for 30 yrs and part of that time I had a women on my route that had an on line sewing business. so about once a week when I would get to her mail box there would be a large bag hanging on the box with her scraps in it. I could hardly wait to get home dump them all out on the couch and just look and fondle.

Hi Gina, My name is Linda and I'm a fabric fondler and recently my daughter confessed she inherited it from me!! A real surprise since she seems to have an allergy to any kind of sewing or sewing machines!! Maybe eventually she will overcome her allergies!! LOL

This thread is the best! TonyC and the VELVET story is the winner - if we need a winner.
I came back last evening from a quilting retreat in Strasburg, PA. We (some of us) went in to the Bird-IN-Hand shop (in Bird-in-Hand) and the first thing I did when we got back to the B&B was "Here feel this fabric". There were five from NEW YORK and four from my guild. We had never met before and laughed the whole weekend thru. Of course we did sew. It was a UFO weekend. I didn't get my UFO completed but I am on a roll now.

Okay, I'm a fabric fondler too but I also have another problem and that is, once I buy fabric, if it is not for a specific project, I cannot let it go. I rarely (but sometimes I do) use from my stash to make anything unless it is to use a small part so I still have some of it left. I NEED HELP!!!!
