A Moment to Remember
Every once in a while a small tidbit, quote, story or poem catches my attention. These pages are dedicated to those little treasures. There is no limit to the quilt stories, explanations, tall tales and justification a quilter will give for her complicated but perfectly understandable (and legal) addiction. Enjoy!
A Fabricaholic Exposed
On viewing my newly renovated sewing room and after snooping through a couple of drawers and cupboards, my best friend said "oh my gawd - I hope I die first. I don't want to deal with all this!" Wait until she finds my treasures hidden in all the other drawers, bins, cupboards, corners, nooks and crannies throughout my house. I even hide them in my cedar chest.
I am a fabricholic and there are 10,000 devious shops across North America all willing to enable me. I take comfort, though, in knowing I am not alone.

Am I Alone?
Have you ever wondered if anyone else has the same problem you do. Do you wonder if you buy more material than anyone else? Does everyone spend as much money on material as you do? Do others have the same desire to touch fabric. Has anyone else ever bought fabric and forgot about it? Are you the only person that routes a road trip to hit as many quilt shops as possible, regardless of the miles? Are you the only one that is addicted? Is there a quilters anonymous?
Deep down we all know that we are not alone - but it's always a comfort to see everything we do and feel put in writing by someone else. There is no limit to the quilt stories, explanations, tall tales and justification a quilter will give for her complicated but perfectly understandable (and legal) addiction.
