I am a fabric s...s....s.....(edited: family friendly forum)

Alan for what it's worth Wompet picked up the Maple Leaf that you speak of and I believe he wasn't overly impressed with the fbric or the seller. He might have some left over if you're needing a fix.

Hi I'm Grant and I have enough kilts*.


*After the purchase of the next three or four.

I knit and sew, and I have two sewing machines, an overlocker, and lots of knitting machines - lots and lots of them. I have a roof full of yarn and knitting machines, nicely floored and illuminated, plus a stack of wool fabric and a cupboard full of cotton fabric, and a heap of part finished garments.

Our house will never blow away, that's for certain.

The thing is that having bought good fabrics in the past when they were more easily available, now that there are fewer fabric shops I only have to go to my stash to obtain suitable fabric, rather than try to obtain it, and perhaps pay a premium as well.

Hi, I'm Mark(KK45) and I just unpacked a large suitcase of 9 kilts, another suitcase of 2 pc's, 2 argyle jackets + ties, another suitcase of 8 sporans of various stature. I'm perfectly NORMAL????

You are now my new hero!!!
I am just finishing my new kilt so I don't have a large piece of material hanging around anymore, but I do have a ton of small pieces that I may make into tartan stuff animals for my sisters children.

Hi, my name is Archie and I'm a sock yarn-aholic.

Until I approach the level of my friend Connee, who literally cannot get into her third bedroom...well, she can open the door. And I guess with a little bit of work she can get to the far side of the bed. Kind of.

See, there are boxes of fabric in there. LOTS of boxes. So until I hit Connee's level, I DON"T HAVE A PROBLEM.

I have fabric s...s....s.....
tendencies.

I know, I know...many of us have "tendencies". way2fractious has similar tendencies to mine, but he's out of control.

Really, Alan! I have no idea what you are talking about...

Don't feel bad; I have bought three different Tartan fabrics, (7yds each). And I don't know how to sew! Maybe I can just drape them like a Great Kilt...

Or, maybe you could send me TWO of those 7-yard pieces, and I could sew ONE of them into a kilt for you with the second piece being payment.

Really! Tendencies toward being a fabric slu.... uh... umm... ...

it is know as S.A.B.L.E. in the knitting world. Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy. The theory is to have more yarn/fabric than you could possibly use in your lifetime. After you cross that point you are simply investing in younger generations.

I gave my sister (who quilts) a mug for her birthday that says:

"If I can't remember where I put it, do I have to count it as part of my stash?"

I spent two hours looking for a weathered Fraser of mine, and then remembered that it was in the plastic bag with cedar chips.
