Another Springs Creative Factory Sale - Oh My

Well Springs Creative has there fall factory sale that started today and ends Saturday. Of course I had to find time to go today. I love that they do this twice a year and that I'm close enough to drive there.
There is something wrong with me. I can not stop buying fabric :0 And when the prices are that good how can you not? But I am seriously running out of room for it. If you see me on that hoarders show barred in fabric, please tell them I'm not crazy. It is just a quilters thing right or am I going off the deep end?

Your not crazy... you have a hobby.. there is a difference! lol

Let's just say it is a good thing I don't live close to there. I will never use what I have in my life time. Got to get that GD good enough to take over for Gran when I can't do it any more, lol.

Mine is seriously out of control! I think I built at least one corner of MSQC with my daily deal purchases over the last two years! They knew my name in the shipping department when I went to visit this fall! "Oh, YOU'RE Jean Sewing Machine!". My name was on the tip of their tongues! Scary, eh?

uh a garage full, and encroaching on the second of 2 spared bedroom I'll join you and be Very happy on hoarders!!

Spring Fabrics I often saw at Walmart when they carried more fabrics, not so much anymore - You SAVED money by buying it on sale - yes that's the story and we stick together on that :-)

Aren't we all like that? I thought all quilters had the "Gotta Buy It" sickness....If I see it and like it, I gotta buy now, because it might not be there when I go back later. Does any sewer/quilter use what they have before buying more? Is there any one out there that doesn't have a hoard of fabric, and they only buy as they quilt? What fun would that be? Part of the addiction is feeling,smelling and buying the fabric so our sewing rooms look nice and pretty with all of the colors of our fabrics........Keep Calm and Buy Fabric:D

Believe it or not, there are THOSE kind of quilters out here, but I think it's safe to say, they are in a small minority! I am currently house hunting. What is my one NON-NEGOTIABLE? A room big enough for my stash, sewing machines and scrapbooking supplies. I'm thinking 100' x 100' would be nice!:lol:

Yep... It's a quilter 's thing, so not to worry!

The actually did do a Hoarders show on a quilter whose living room, bedroom and garage had been stuffed with FABRIC.. turns out she lead a group that made Quilts of Valor.

So.... They made her garage into a wonderfully organized storage area for the QV. fabrics. The woman was ecstatic!

Oh good! I'm glad it's not me and glad to know even if I end up on hoarders they'll just help me organize :icon_heh:

I missed that episode :(

I just ratted all of you out - read every one of your posts to D H (names withheld) and told him compared to some, my liitle stash (ok semi big stash) is nothing compared to a garage and spare bedroom and I really am in control. He just rolled his eyes and went backto whatever guy show he was watching!
