fabric addiction

May 17, 2010

I think I might have a problem… I can’t seem to stop buying fabric, even when I have a fairly decent sized stash & probably should be using fabric from my stash instead of buying more :) There is just too much beautiful fabric out there & buying it is almost as much fun (okay who am I kidding – maybe even more fun) than using it!

From my latest moments of weakness…

Confession – While the first pile was a complete splurge (fabrics from Pink Chalk Fabrics & The Quilting Loft – local Seattle shop), the second pile was $1 a yard from a lady selling off part of her stash. Thanks to Evelyn who found that sale :) I have been doing a fair amount of thrifting with her & Ahava lately, thrifting is fun just in itself but it’s even better when you have friends to go with & laugh with when you find crazy stuff :)

I really may need to go on a fabric diet soon though, since this latest binge barely fit into (my fairly large) fabric cupboard…

Good thing my mother is visiting me this week! She usually inspires & helps me to get a few of my works in progress finished so that I can actually start new projects with some of this gorgeous new fabric. Hopefully I will have a few finished projects to show after this week! :)

    Pretty pictures! It is so much more fun to go thrifting with friends! I’m looking forward to more of it! :-)

    Awww. I miss thrifting with you. You are good at finding things for me and I loved trying to find things you would like.
    It sounds like you need some motherly motivation! Good thing she is coming to finish up projects. She is really good at helping me know where to start (and finish). :) Love you!
