    Hey, PittsburgPam - I love your avatar. Do you have a pattern for it? It is so unusual and so pretty!

    I am so glad to see that I am not alone. When we moved 2 years ago, within a couple of months, I ended up donating to various organizations 9 vans, full of every kind of fabric except my cottons. I still need to get rid of more and have been making quilts like crazy and giving them away. Just not making them fast enough.

    The basement is mine and I have floor to ceiling shelving 30 foot long plus a wall that is 14 foot long. Then there is an L shaped room that is full of boxes on 3 sides, that I haven't touched for 2 years. I figured if I havn't touched it, don't remember what is in it, it is time to give away.

    I used to buy for my project only. But since I have started back quilting, I have built up a sizeable stash. I gave five boxes of fabric away to be able to have room for what I had. I love fabric and when I see something I love, I buy it. And I love batiks! I keep trying to go on the wagon and not buy more fabric, but then I see a beautiful fabric and I relapse. I have also decided if my husband goes before me, I will be able to live off my fabric. If I go first it goes to my DGD.

    Count me in! And I love the cartoon. Even tho I recently sold off a lot of my fabric at a garage sale, I then proceded to buy more on a trip to Sisters, Oregon! And a lqs here is closing out her fabrics so of course had to lend my support to the cause!

    Yup, that's the beauty of putting (almost) everyting in this cabinet, which I bought only a couple of weeks ago. Several of the bins are ear marked for specific projects such as a blue & yellow watercolor quilt and, a kitty cat fabric quilt. I may have gone overboard, stocking colors, but at least I'll have what I need (I hope!). :-)

    Ditto. I just love looking at it and unfolding and refolding it.
