I couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness. It was almost like she was lonely and became not a collector but a 'hoarder'.

Oh My Goodness! I'm showing this to my DH! He says I have to use up at least 1/2 of what I have before I can buy more. I try to explain to him that I need pieces to fill in from time to time and he just doesn't understand. : (

It's nice to have a bit of a stash. Adds color and purpose to a life.

But that much... is kind of sad. She didn't come close to using it up. I truly hope she got a great deal of pleasure from acquiring it.

I dunno... maybe it's just me, but the older I get the less desire I have to collect anything at all. I still like looking at pretty things, I just no longer feel the need to own it. Just looking is enough.

I wonder if I'm the only one?

No, I'm getting to be like that. I don't need much anymore and my wants a decreasing.... I hope that is normal?

I think probably many of us get like that. I have really de cluttered my house, I think I keep e bay going. my kids reckon not to stand still for too long or mum will photograph you and sell you on ebay.I reckon if you have to store anything in the attic , well you don't need it.

So it's true , the one who dies with the most fabric wins.
I guess I will never be the winner.

Think about it - you go to the store to look around and spot something you like - and its on SALE - and you don't really have that color or design and. HEY" that would be good for a such and such design. so you get a little of it. Then another and another. Im sure its alot like being an alcoholic, or food aholic, and a FABRICAHOLIC. All good intentions of using it..."one of those days".. and then time runs out. - I am curious. I have been "investing" in die cuts, and Moda turnovers, jelly rolls, honey buns, and charm packs.......hey - they were on SALE - (MissouriQuiltCompany) and they were so cute. Have I opened ONE of them....... noooooooooooooo. Do YOU ever buy those cute packs and can't bring yourself to use them?? Am I alone here?? Don't you think that we all are addicted, one way or another just because we are quilters?
