Ok, I used to be where you are....I am a fabriholic and used to buy any fabric I wanted to, heck, if I liked it, and the price was right, I would buy the whole bolt. I have minimized my stash over the years, and just recently bought a lot of lqs fabric at estate sale so I still have stash, just not a large trailer full. I have to buy only what I need and that is all or else I will be back buying bolts again.

With the prices of cotton continuing to rise, how can you not buy fabric? It's an investment in the future. As long as I have room for it, I will hit every clearance sale rack I can find!

This makes it easier for me to fine what I am looking for. I use to work in the library when I was going to school. I guess it just a habit I have of keeping things organized.
can I borrow you for awhile?

I consider my addicition, fabric and sewing machines, my families inheritance. And as everyone knows, we have to keep building that fund. It's called "Linda Logic", try it , it just might work for you too. :lol:

I admit it. I too am a fabricholic. But it is so much easier with all of you to rationalize it for me!! :D

Ahhh, it feels good to hear we're not alone in our addiction! Doesn't help with the cravings, though...
