I guess it's just a quilter thing. We have a shop that is moving, I went to look and ended up buying 95 yards, they had it for 80% off and I just couldn't resist. Now have enough for all my backings.

My feelings about fabric is this: Quilting is my therapy, and it's cheaper than going to a therapist! I also want enough fabric to have on hand in case the shops run dry and I can't buy anymore. I have a years supply of food why not a years supply of fabric for my hobby that will keep me happy during stressful times? That's why I don't stress out too much when I buy fabric!

The county forced me to buy fabric last week. They made me report for jury duty 2 blocks from a quilt shop, settled the case out of court and sent me out on the streets before 10 AM. Well, there I was in a town 20 miles away from home, just me and my check book and that quilt shop just down the road......

I'm so glad that I didn't see this thread until the sale at fabric.com was over as I have put myself on a fabric "diet". But I do have to say if an excuse were needed BETTY62 has the best one, in a case such as that I too would have caved.

I too cannot help it, I am good for awhile then it hits
FABRIC Binge!
If I became a zombie, instead of rambling around calling "Brains, Brains, Brains", i would be calling "Fabric, Fabric, Fabric". BTW it is the sale that gets me too!!

At our LQS clearance means € 7.00 per metre (just over 1 yard) so about $ 9.50 a yard. Normal prices are $ 20.00 and up per yard.
Living here means shopping for fabric online. I purchase almost all fabric in the US. So Seaside gal, moving to the UK (or the Netherlands) only works if you can't get online

The Netherlands certainly is a beautiful place.
