When is our next meeting? Can we meet daily? Most important...is chocolate served at the meetings?

Happy Quilting!

Guilty of the quilt top thing too. I see beautifully long armed quilts and shove my tops in a bag because I will never have a long arm and can't spend hundreds having them quilted ......

I would like to help. Just send me your extra fabric and that will ease the guilt and overcrowding caused by having bought too much fabric. Lol. I would love to fabric shop all the time but the guilt of spending any $ overwhelms me. I am very careful and only buy what I need for specific projects.

So funny but true for most of us.

Is it not true that the one who has the most fabric when they die wins?

I am more sympathetic towards other addictions right now. I have been so good for about 2 months, then in September I fell off the wagon, big time. Didn't go to the stores, but the USPS started to deliver all these fall catalogs brimming with new fabrics. It started with Hancock' of Paducah, then the email sales, free postage gets me every time. Yesterday, it was the Keepsake Quilting catalog that had the right color batik for dgs college quilt. We go to Lancaster PA amish area in a week, I will have to be strong, maybe. I am addicted - I am a fabric addict.

OMG I can't imagine no fabric stores!!! I faithfully at least 1X a week go to Joanns. Wal-Mart doesn't count since its not a fabric store, at least that is my story and I'm sticking to it!!!
