FABRIC and more FABIRC! I am not sure I will ever use up all that I have, and even though I have tons of it work with I still find myself getting more and more of it.

I also have a weakness for threads. Lord forbid there is a sale, I want ALL the colors I can get on sale.

Boy, did you hit it on the nail head. I love patterns and seem to buy jacket patterns the most. I don't think I've ever made one of the jackets because I go out and buy ones off the rack. Am I crazy? Or as the wealthy would say, just eccentric?

OH! Your parents own a book store!?!?!?! I am not so sure I'd have much fabric money left if I knew someone that owned a book store.

I am only mildly an addict these days. I haven't had much time to sew or quilt for a while.
My worst thing is when I find the remnants section nicely stocked with all those reduced prices...If it's cheap enough, and I like it, I will buy it. I used to have a really big problem with magazines. I couldn't get out of store without 2 or 3 new ones. Seems like I can always find something small that I hadn't seen before that I must must MUST have!

I'm almost completely rehabilitated on the cake and cookie-making supplies craze. Last count, I had over 60 cake pans. I have probably gotten over 10 pans since then, but those weren't purchased by me, they were given to me by some friends/family....

I was a fabricholic in the past and everything else that goes with sewing and quilting but decided that I would have to shop in my stash since i am retired and right now the economy is so bad. i did however buy some fabric lst week because I just fell in love with the roosters on it. don't ask me what I am going to do with 5 yards of rooster material but I had to have it. :lol: Linda

Patterns and fabric -- only problem is that they don't match up. Tons of fabric that only goes with itself and the patterns all call for maybe 1/8 yard more than I have so I have to buy more fabric. Then I lose the patterns or get a major case of cutter's remorse and need to "save" that beautiful piece for who-knows-what later on so I have to buy more fabric .....and then I need a larger piece for the backing or binding so I have to buy more fabric .....or maybe that print would go better as a purse or tote bag so I better buy more fabric ......

Many of you have hit me weaknesses - yes, plural! - square on the head! I love fat quarters, especially since I've discovered the Turning Twenty series of patterns. Quilting books featuring FQs (or any book featuring simple, fast patterns) are another addiction. As far as fabric, I generally gravitate to the batiks, because of their jewel-tone colors. Since we will be moving soon, I've been pretty good at not adding any more projects to my stash. Can't say that about books, though...I just ordered a couple more from the Connecting Threads catalogue!

Nancy in La., We're a rare breed. I plan more than I sew. Seems there's always something missin'. Sometimes it's the time that's missing. Sometimes I can't find what I'm looking for, bc I "stashed" it away for another time. Sometimes I use a piece for something other than what is was purchased and then it's gone when I need it. YIKES ! :shock: But still, I'm never without a project. I've learned to roll with the punches. :roll:

Not a "shopping weakness" altho I certainly have those - a big weakness is checking the topics on this board several times a day. Always something to learn, always pictures to enjoy.
