    I participate in the Fabric Moratorium. It's a great thread and a lot of fun. The best I can say about my fabric addiction is I've slowed down on my buying. If I purchase any more I will have to get another book case. I already have four full plus two walk in closets.

    Hi, my name is Marge and I'm addicted to fabric. However, I'm not willing to go into a 12-step program to quit buying fabric - not happening.
