Fabric Addiction


I really think I need an AA group for fabric addiction, lol. I could literally spend all day at fabric stores or online fabric stores just browsing, well and then I usually can't leave w/o buying some pretty fabrics... it's gotten to the point where I have a "fabric closet" full of yards of fabrics and squares and fat quarters and scraps. I have some ideas for some of them but most of them I just buy because I like it so much but have no actual plans for them.

One of my favorite designers is Amy Butler and I LOVE her patterns too (I have several of them too). Someone pointed out to me that she has a new CD chock full of patterns mostly quilts, pillows and handbags, all of my favorite things to make! I saw the slide show and I MUST have it! I feel silly because I have no plans to use it right now but I must have it! Addicted I tell ya! I do really like the patterns so I'll probably get it once we close on a house hopefully soon. I'd love to make some of the decorative pillows out of some of my pretty scraps for the master bedroom and probably for Moriah's bedroom.

Here is the link to the slideshow showing many of the patterns on the CD.

While browsing her site I also found that she has a dinnerware set that is hard to find but is based off of one of my favorite fabric lines of hers. Ack! I want, but then I'm reminded that it's only because I'm so addicted to her fabric, lol. But, it would look so nice with all my fabric scraps, lol.

Every time I think about or should I say dream about some day decorating a house all I can think about are my favorite fabric designers: Amy Butler, Alexander Henry, Michael Miller, Joel Dewberry, Robert Kaufman, Anna Maria Horner, Heather Bailey, Heather Ross, Jennifer Moore, Echino by Etsuko Furuya, Patty Young (my new favorite/Modkid), Valori Wells and many many more that I know I'm forgetting, lol.

I find myself daily browsing my favorite online stores, LA-Chakra, Fabricworm, Fabric.com, Etsy and many many more... I also have signed up for several fabric email subscriptions and blogs, like Sew Mama Sew, True Up and several more.

Would you call me addicted? I do!
