Board members, for me it is not the fabric that is addicting, it is all of the patterns that I can't get enough of. I go home nearly every day with another new idea for a quilt because I saw something on this message board I just want to try. I have more plans and patterns than I can possibly ever accomplish. I still work full time and just don't have much beyond week-ends to quilt and the frustration is rising. It is only January and I am already looking forward to summer when I will have a three day work week allowing me to quilt two extra days per week! Yippee. By the way, this month I spent less than $2.00 on fabric. I bought a quarter yard of a sale item for a doll quilt. Brag, Brag, Brag but it is only the 20th. Tee-Hee

I really LOVE fabric and color...so I can't resist and it is a sort of therapy. My FIL was a fabric expert and her really rubbed off on me. He used to come and play with my fabric with me. He is missed! He knew all of the mills and I got a lot of great samples from him.

You are not alone!!! Try psych-ing yourself out! Quit calling "fabric" fabric! Start calling it "Thread" like I do. When my DH ask me where I am going, I tell him I am going to get "Thread"!!! Now I am addicted to Thread which cost less!!!! Ha! Ha!

It is so bad and then my friends don't help. I have two friends who buy an enormous amount of fabric and then lose interest. Of course, I take it. LOL My goal is to use all of my stash before buying anymore. It is hard but a couple of really scrappy 9 patch are already in the works.
