I'm with you Debra. My name is Patti and I'm a fabraholic. At least that's better than some other "holics" I could mention. LOL

Mine says I am like that commercial for IKEA where the lady drives up in a tractor trailer yelling they're having a sale, I'm going back for more!!!! :roll: :lol:[/quote]
That's funny. Here the IKEA commercial is a lady with 2 large, full bags, running out of the store yelling to her husband who's waiting in the car--- "Start the car! Start the car!"
So I use that for my son when he's being slow, "Start the car, start the car" It usually gets him laughing and things move a little faster.

the carpets. I fill out information in my journal. If its a charity quilt and I have quilted it I take a picture for my journal.
If I will be taking it to my longarm quilter I wili hang the quilt/backing up in the closet.
So when I start a new quilt my sewing room is clean
and I'm ready to sew.
Now that's just WRONG! Actually, I'm a little envious because I'm not that neat!
