Welcome Rachel! I guess you've figured out by now that you've joined a group of addicts and we're all enablers. BTW, "the box" will multiply like rabbits.

Welcome to the forum Rachel...I have a building to myself and now DH said he'll trade shops with me because the one he has is bigger than mine

Re: Too much fabric? No such thing!
Welcome from Pennsylvania and yes I am an addict, too!!! After my order from M*QC last Saturday, I vowed to not buy any more fabric for a while...like next week when my husband and I go to Berlin, Ohio and all the quilt shops there...
IT IS DEFINITELY AN ADDICTION
You are in great company with all the fabiholics on this forum!!! We love it!!!

Re: Too much fabric? No such thing!
Oh Karen, that is to funny. Every time I think my stash is getting smaller, it just magically appears to grow again. Upstairs, downstairs, all around the house. That is the world of a quiltaholic. Thankfully for this addiction you don't nee an intervention.

Re: Too much fabric? No such thing!
I too am a Fabraholic......
Just started out with a small corner in the closet ( I have a walk in closet off the bedroom that is still set up with an extra sewing machine) and a tote that fit neatly under the sewing stand. Then one day..... something snapped.... I found all kinds of web sites with so many patterns and pictures.... I went to yard sales that had totes of material that just begged to come home with me. Every time I walked into a store that had a fabric section..... somewhere in the bolts of material was a magnet that just sucked me in..... SALES SALES SALES. I now have a room with shelves .... and yes still the totes.... that hold my treasures.
I feel my addiction is getting better..... as I now find I don't need to leave the house to purchase fabric....... I buy my pre-cuts from MSQC.....
See what is in store for you....... we welcome you ......... enjoy!

Enablers is the right word I think 
Right now I am a college student and still living at home so I am kind of limited on space, but my boyfriend already knows that when I move out I will have my own room!

Re: Too much fabric? No such thing!
According to my other half I have enough fabric to open my own little store....not happening...I love every piece but I swear when I am not looking they have babies...know what I mean and my scrap bin is overflowing again...thought I had cut that one down to size! See...I am telling you...when you are sleeping they are having babies!
