Fabric obsession

I know that what I really have probably doesn't compare to many people's idea of lot's of fabric but for me, who doesn't sew very often it's enough. For someone who doesn't sew, I LOVE fabric. I love the colors, the styles, the feel. I have been slowly delving into being a domestic diva of sewing and have tried a few, small and simple projects. The problem is, I keep buying more fabric! This is just some of the fabric that I had tucked away. Some I have actually used and some I've just admired.

Aren't these fabrics cute? Mackenzie picked these ones out for a rag quilt. Um...I'm still working on that one! Grandma did make a cute pillowcase out of this same material for her though.



I just found these ones this past weekend. Aren't they super cute? I just loved the two prints together and the colors totally match. I loved it so much I bought two yards of each! Too bad I don't have any plans for it yet. I think it would make a cute apron.


This one is my absolute favorite of the bunch though. Isn't it just too freaking to die for? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this one! I bought two yards of this one too. I think I might just frame it.




I just remembered I had a whole other stack of material in the other room I didn't get a chance to grab a picture of and that's not counting the material my mil shared with me.
Well call my loony I guess. I just LOVE fabric.

I love your fabric. I have a room full of fabric and what won't fit in my sewing room is in out in my shed. You can never never never have to much fabric. If I spent as much time sewing as I do looking at fabric on the internet I would have a room full of quilts. You know she who dies with the most fabric wins and I am tryng hard to win.

Yes I would say that you have a fabric obsession! I love all the fabric you have, I guess you better do something with it :)

Ok Tina I think you win with all your fabric! I like your idea about never having enough fabric too! I would love to learn how to quilt. Maybe I'll actually get around to making one or I'll come visit you and you can teach me. :)

I love picture three! That is really cute fabric. I think the fabric hoarding must be genetic! I've got a big stack too :)
The only things I know how to make are curtains and pillowcases. I'm hoping the curtains I made for our last house will fit in our new place because my sewing machine is on the fritz.

I love my fabric! I go upstairs and just look at it. But it is nothing compared to how it used to be back in the day when I really did sew for me and all the kids. I even sewed shirts for Ron and they didn't have old cars on them and he wore them!!!! My fabric back then took up a whole closet. But I know how you feel, there is something special about beautiful fabric. Thanks for sharing the fabric you picked out the other day, I got two rice bags almost done from it. Love it!!
