Hello, Alice.
My fabric stash is like a bath tub with the water running and the drain open. You know, some coming in and some going out, and the overall level staying about the same. (Which is about 8 Rubbermaid storage boxes.)
How about you?

Hello my name is Bente. I have been adicted to fabrics for at least 30 years and have a couple of cubic meters of fabric! I am in a periode of using almost as much fabric as I buy!I bought my last meters at the Vinter Fair at Roros in mid Norway last friday. http://www.visitnorway.com/us/Product/?pid=69966

It is just refreshing to know I'm not alone! Just when I think I have the prettiest fabric, they come out with more.

I blame it all on Moda. They keep coming up with great fabric collections. I have lots of bins of fabric...but I NEED them all!!

Cute cartoon. Only eight bins? I have sixteen, but I'm proud to say that more IS going out than coming in. I'm on a strict lockdown!

So what is wrong with her? She hasn't purchased any in 6 days, she need to get some at least every other day right?? I think my stash is like yours a little in, a little out.

I think a lot of us quilters could benefit from a 12-step program! This is funny.

This is so cute. Don't know where you found it, but I hope you don't mind that I used it with a poll about shopping.

I have purged a BUNCH of fabric, and am only trying to buy fabric that I NEED for a specific project. So far I'm doing well, but I've still got enough fabric to quilt my entire city! :)

I love the cartoon!!! I need to print it off and hang it in my sewing studio.
My name is Mimi and I have the addiction, too. I was just upstairs cleaning up from my last project and I'm overstocked! I have some more organizing to do and then I'll start another project.
Seriously, though...I LOVE having a big stash. I can go upstairs to my studio and just create...usually don't need to shop for much of anything.

Oh dear....I have to admit I have the equivalent of A MINIMUM of ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY Rubbermaid storage containers - the BIGGEST ones. I'm insulating my house with fabric. Come the "fabric famine" you will all be trying to be my best friend. I just went to the Sewing & Stitchery Expo in Puyallup, WA last Thursday and came home with plenty more to join the fabric family I already have. I'm a baddddd fabricaholic.....there is no 12-step program for me.....

LOL!! I am not buying fabric until after Easter. Although I don't observe Lent, I did give up fabric for 40+ days. It isn't easy either!

funny! and so very true! it's the same story for me, fabric coming and going, but my stash never dwindles. :)

Only 8 rubbermaid totes--I wish--I have two walls full of shelving rom Ikea--that is full of fabric--plus about 100+ tubs on shelves in my garage. I have been quilting since 1970 & it shows.... Help I DO NEED A 12 STEP PROGRAM!!!!!

That is just too funny!! Just remember they will never stop creating more beautiful fabrics... so just enjoy quilting and stop feeling guilty!! That's what I think... I have bought lots of batting but only 1 FQ of fabric in about the last 6 months.
- March 1, 2010 at 2:23 PM
ROTFL! This is just so appropriate for me right now as I was at a quilt show on Friday and bought _way_ too much fabric!
- March 2, 2010 at 6:15 AM
- Akiko said...
How funny!!!
Stop buying fabric won't help anything! I tried a couple of years ago and ended up with tons of magazines and books :)

Our business is about Constructive development - facilitating behavioural change that leads to increased individual, team, and organisational effectiveness.
At the individual level, Human Synergistics supports people in constructively redirecting the way in which they interact with others and approach their work. At the organisational level, we transform the context people work within and the expectations they face.
Through a combination of our internationally-recognised assessments and simulations, application and accreditation workshops, and optional consulting services, we help teams, organisations, and their members measure and improve leadership and culture to increase organisational performance and sustainability.
Our mission, Changing the World - One Organisation at a Time™, says it all. It may sound lofty, but it's actually grounded in research. In an international study carried out by HSI's CEO, Dr. Robert A. Cooke, based partly on data provided by members of AIESEC (International Association of Students in Business and Economics), more Constructive and less Defensive Ideal organisational cultures, as measured by the Organisational Culture Inventory™, were found in countries that exhibited certain types of societal values (e.g. low power distance and uncertainty avoidance as assessed by Geert Hofstede). Furthermore, these countries ranked higher than others in World Competitiveness per the Institute for Management Development's (IMD) World Competitiveness Yearbook (WCY).
Numerous other studies on profitability and long-term effectiveness have shown that Constructive as opposed to Defensive Culture styles are linked not only to organisational performance and sustainability but also to desired outcomes at the level of individual members (e.g. well being and engagement).
We believe that by working together with you, we can explicate and demonstrate around the world how Constructive Cultures, by promoting the development of individuals and organisations, ultimately "spill over" and enhance the values, development, and World Competitiveness of the countries within which they operate. Regardless of your focus, whether it's executive coaching, team-building, or organisation development, we will ensure that you're equipped to have a positive impact across system levels.
HSI provides you with a development system that is:
We have everything you need to identify and address culture, team, and leadership challenges, including:
Over the years, we've realised that our best clients and partners are those who are serious about development. If you're committed to and passionate about developing people, we look forward to sustaining a long-term relationship with you, whether you're a(n):

Sophistication in design can be seen in many forms. Sometimes it appears in intricate details and patterns. Sometimes it's sleek and shiny. It can also be expressed as strong, simple and understated. Arcadia is certainly the latter. Modern Rustic at its best, with a charismatic warm finish and dramatic rubbed hardware, Arcadia radiates comfortable, simple sophistication.
Even the humblest of apartments in Paris is exquisitely decorated with a certain je ne sais quoi. As a typical Parisian would also dress, it all starts with classic traditional elements and builds from there with tasteful accents and accessories. Bexley, like a simple Channel dress, is the foundation for a living space filled with flair and panache, as unique as you are

Fine contemporary art can unlock your imagination and leave you with a feeling of endless possibilities. The right contemporary furniture, in the right setting, can do the same thing.
