    Lori & Ruck I am so with you. As soon as I know what it is going to turn out like I lose interest. What a great idea to get inventive with the boarders!

    I also love sales, like others have mentioned, I would have to live two or three lifetimes to use all my fabric. Even that would never happen since I would likely find a sale and buy more.

    Buy fabric at Walmart. That is just wrong on so many levels.

    ROFL!!! :oops:

    Just "sometimes"?? I always put my handicrafts first.

    Finish this sentence: I'm ashamed to admit that sometimes I...

    Buy fabric that I have no need for and no project in mind when I buy it. I have so much fabric now I should hire a supervisor to make sure I make no more fabric purchases before I use a lot of it up.

    That I ONLY sometimes (fingers crossed behind my back), spend more on quilting than on gifts for others! (I will make a quilt as a gift - telling DH it took twice as much fabric as it did - this way I have more to play with). And I am VERY, VERY, VERY thankful he knows NOTHING about sewing or quilting (his first wife didn't know how to sew at all - very sad), so he doesn't know about the EXTRA!!!!! (my bad)

    I'm ashamed to admit that I could get up earlier and sew but I rather sleep.

    - - - that whenever I step into a store, my nose automatically starts sniffing for the fabric department (and my husband rolls his eyes). :-)
