Fabric, glorious fabric

How I love fabric!  Growing up I spent a lot of time in fabric stores.  My Mom was an amazing seamstress; she could create anything.  She hasn't sewn in years, but everything I learned about sewing, I learned from her.  There was a local fabric store, and I think it must have been one of my favorite places to go.  The minute we walked in the store, I would breathe in that wonderful smell.  Then I would walk around the store, finding all the new fabric, and proceed to make my Mom come see it.  I must have been a pest, but I was a happy one. 

My love of fabric hasn't changed, or diminished.  The more fabric, the better.  I do have a failing though, sometimes I love a fabric so much, I forget that I already purchased it, so I come home with it again, and again.
