We loved our regular fabric junkies who came in just to look and touch. We also sold a ton of fabric to people (including ourselves) who just "had" to have some of something, with no thought as to how it would be used. I have a 7-8 yard piece of Bruschwig & Fils polychrome toile (fabulous!) that I've never used--but I just had to have it. I saw someone's writing recently who described herself as a fabric collector. Why not? It's just a little bulkier than stamps! I used to manage a Calico Corners store (fabulous home dec fabrics and trims). We loved our regular fabric junkies who came in just to look and touch.

I saved quilt patterns and picturs for years because "Some day I'm going too make quilts". All the while needlepointing away while waiting in hospitals, at boring meetings, etc. Finally, after I retired I took a beginner's class and began quilting, but by this time my hands were so arthritic that I make quilts slowly, very slowly. But, I make them. Your blog is fun to read. Oh do I understand! I saved quilt patterns and picturs for years because “Some day I’m going too make quilts”.
