Apparently I have nothing better to do...

My DH knows exactly how much fabric I have - according to him:
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay tooooooooooo much"! But my sister
disagrees with him, as she often does. She thinks (knows!) I have "More
than you'll evvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrr use".

Of course, I don't think I have quite enough. I think I'll go shopping!

But then, there's no such thing as too much fabric.

How much fabric do you have???

I keep track of how much money I spend on fabric, not how much I have on
hand. I'm sure it is a lot. If I did get it into my head to determine
exactly how much, I'd rig up a system so I could weigh it and make a
guess based on the weight of a yard of fabric. I'd go nuts measuring it
by the yard since I often rip off a 5" strip from fabrics as soon as I
get them home and use those for charms and charm exchanges.

I refuse to even contemplate whether I have a lot or a little or
something in between. g If I did that, I might have to stop shopping
for a while!

Some things are better left unknown. For instance, if DH asks "How much
fabric do you have in that closet?" I can honestly say I don't know, with a
clear conscience and no finger crossing. VBG, Linda in Tx

I don't think I want to know how much fabric I have. Much more than I
will ever use, that's for sure. (I am giving a bunch of it away at our
chapter holiday party, we do "goodie bags" for everyone and I am
donating a fat quarter for each.) And Yes, I do keep buying fabric.
I have been collecting fabric, mostly for clothing, for a loooooong
time. And clothing yardage means 3-6 yards or more at a time. While I
was working at House of Fabrics/Jo-Ann's it occasionally meant whole
bolts of fabric, or what was left on the bolt.
Long ago I reached SABLE status, but I lurve fabric.......... a lot. LOL

Egads, I'm organizing a world tour and coming to visit each and every one of
you!!!!!
And to think I was feeling guilty about what I have (and no DH to feel
guilty for), and was planning to clean up my UFOs next year. I think I
probably have 60 FQs (if that) and less than 10 1yd pieces. Honestly!! Hence
the tour.
I need to calm down and start shopping to keep up with you folks.

Dear joysjane,
I could wish and wish I had only 550 yards of fabric. In that
mammoth room 20 x 12 or 14 I have a hugh island of filled metal
shelves, then three of the walls full of more metal shelves and bins,
and don't forget the closet and under the bed. There is so much
material that I am planning to take some with me. You know, when I
die. That could be sooner than the seven years allotted for the
Veterans of WWII of which I am one, to live....Have a new doctor and
he doesn't seem to READ, thinks I have vertigo and
arthritis....hasn't turn the page to where the heart diease or the
five attacks I've had to say nothing of the severe Asthma. My dear
mother died of an asthma induced heart attack. That looms. I was up
to his office last Monday....not eligible. At least 5 people have
offered me their flu shot, but I don't think they are transferrable.
I'm going to make a sign to wear to my Cardiac Rehab classes three
times a week....don't come near me with a cold.

Are we talking about quilting. Right! How many yards? This is a
Blue Saturday.
