I just love fabric. I love to sit and look at it, to touch it, to visualize it in various patterns... I have a closet of fabric and fat quarters. Then I have more fabric, beautiful fabric that I just could not pass by. I probably have enough coordinating fabrics to make 30 good size quilts without even touching the stash closet. I love coordinates. It is terrible I know. In 2011 I must make 1 to 2 quilts out of fabric I already have before new fabric can be bought.

ahem, I will NOT discuss how much fabric I have stashed or in my "textile collection"...
Let's just say that I can make quilts until the the cows come home or for 20 years or........

(I don't need any more fabric. I don't need any more fabric. I don't need any more fabric. I don't need any more fabric. I don't need any more fabric. I don't need any more fabric. LOL)
