Uh oh - count me as a member of the latter group. On the rare occasion I leave the fabric store without anything at all, it is because I am on a mision for something specific, can't find it, and have my FI in tow - hence no time to browse as we are off to the next location to search. Otherwise though, he will browse with me and has even said in response to my hesitation over buying something just because I like it - "Why don't you get you some?" He is definitely a keeper! He also picked out the fabric for his ionar and can sew - or so his mother says. I am a pattern hoarder too! :-(

Some become quilters because they are sensitive to the frequency emitted by quilting cottons while others become costumers because silk cries out to them piteously. Then there are the poor souls who can hear the sound of all types of fabric and they do quilting, historic costuming, mundane sewing and can't possibly leave a fabric shop without something because one of their addictions will catch them. :-) Elizabeth -------------------------------------------- Elizabeth Walpole Canberra Australia ewalpole[at]tpg.com.au http://au.geocities.com/e_walpole/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
