Raise Your Hand if You're a Fabriholic!
So I wondered, do you think your family and friends would describe you as a quilter who:
- buys fabric just because she (or he) likes it, and not because she needs it for a project
- wants to touch and feel every piece of fabric she encounters
- stacks fabric all over the sewing room -- for inspiration; or tucks it away in a secret hiding place if she hasn't gone public with her addiction
- intercepts checking account statements and credit card bills to minimize raised-eyebrow-events by the significant other
- doesn't really want to cut into that beautiful print
- heads straight to the fabric vendors before looking at the quilts in the quilt show (there's no time to waste -- they might sell out of something)
- takes photos of fabric immediately so she can put them on her Flikr gallery
- starts a blog where she can talk about her addiction with other addictees
- stops by our forums to tell friends about her new purchases as soon as she gets home
Now let's be clear -- I think every one of those points describes perfectly normal behavior, except the part about hiding things -- no way, no excuses! It's there, it's mine, and I love it.
