4) Oh, just a quick stop won't hurt anything.
5) I can handle just a little purchase (say a FQ)
6) Other things (like housework) get ignored while playing with fabric

Pam

I was very proud of myself on my recent trip to Paducah for the big show. I "only" bought 14 yards of fabric, a couple of charm packs, some rulers, 10 books, several cones of thread..... wait, maybe I am one of you.......... I wondered when that happened.

My cousin used to say,"I'm not an alcoholic because I don't go to meetings. I'm just a plain old drunk." Well, I used to be just a plain old fabric collector but now that I've joined this group I guess I have to admit it.

My name is Alfreda and I'm a fabriholic.

But PLEASE, please, please don't look for or find a cure.
After all, I'm only twelve steps away from buying more. LOLOLOLOLOL

Mousie

Oh my goodness, you just made me cackle and you would bust dh up, with that yep, yep, yep!!! story there! ;)

I R Mousie, and I R a fabriholic, bookaholic, clothesaholic, notionsaholic...heck, I must collect and be addicted to just about any and everything except alcohol!!! :XD:
ooooh, low blow...DD just said I was going to make ppl think I was a hoarder... :roll:
um,...doesn't being a hoarder mean you are messy?
I am extremely organized. Losing extra space by the minute, but it's in order :mrgreen:
DD, just said no, being a hoarder means you have so much stuff that it's stacked up to the ceiling with pathways into the room.
Ok, BUT...and everyone has one ;)....
I live in a very small house!
what did you expect from a mouse? :mrgreen:
There are some spots in my house, especially the sew-cave, but it's all neatly sorted, stacked on shelves by either bundles for family/friends, or by size.
Notions are either on pegboard and all office supply stuff is in drawers.
Books are shelved etc. I know where everything is and can pick up any piece of fabic and tell you when it was bought, where, what it's called, how much there is and whether it has already been washed, dried and ironed...doth the mouse protest too much?
no comment :lol:

Pam

Mousie is not only a hoarder, but OCD! Hahahaa

Lol know what you mean here when i am out shopping with family and friends i cannot go home without at least finding a fabric shop or a charity clothes shop for scraps of fabric if i do managed to find one it makes the day go well lol.

Melody

My name is Melody and I, too, am a fabricaholic. I am cautious with my hoarding...er, my stashes. They are tucked discreetly away into corners of cabinets that nobody but ME uses, and the backs of closets where only "I" go. I even have an unused drawer in my filing cabinet with neatly folded fabrics. But just to prove to my friends and family that I AM in control of this addiction, I have a tidy little drawer moderately filled with FQ's which I proudly display to them.
Am I good or what?!

OK, it's BAD (not really!) when the online stores know you by first name!!

I have had family intervention when they have found me slumped over my machine after all night binges. I have learned the art of manipulation to get fabric in any way possible, turning my family into enabler puppets.

Yes, with the availability of the Internet, that has become my lifeline for a when I cannot physically get out to my neighborhood "dealers."

Wanna find my house on the block to swap?? Look for the table runner hanging over the electrical lines in front of my house. We can pass bundles as you drive by.
