The story of a fabric addict:
Allow me to introduce myself….
That was a post I shared on Facebook and sadly, it’s all true! Â You know you’re in good company when you share something so personal and yet everyone in the room understands. Â When I started to ask friends and fellow designers if there were any secret fabric addict s in the room – everyone raised a hand. Â So, I thought it would be fun to gather everyone up and try to have an intervention of sorts. Â A massive de-stash. Â Really, deep down, I know it’s just an excuse for me to buy more.
But this is only part of the story. Â You see, I thought it would be easy to sift through all of my fabrics, trims and goodies to create bundles but instead, I found myself so excited to see each piece being unpacked. Â As I put the bundles together and stepped back to snap a quick photo, I thought to myself, wow, I would buy that. Â And then it hit me like a ton of bricks, I ALREADY DID!
I think that’s when you know you really have a problem. Are there any graphic artists out there? If so, I need a special stamp or something to let everyone know that I am a Fabric Addict! Â Maybe I should form a card-carrying fabric addict club or something. Â I am sure I can round up some friends to join me.
So, the album is officially open and let the shopping begin! I know that I have my eyes on a few bundles but promised that I would not make any purchases until I sold something. Â That was the deal with DH and I am determined to hold up my end.
To keep things fun, all week long new listings will be added to the album. Â Plus, if something has sold and you really love it, leave a comment under the photo. Â You never know if the designer has more in their stash. Â I know that I still have plenty left but was just not sure what everyone would like.

I was wondering if you have any cabbage roses/shabby chic fabric in soft yellow, pink or blues or with white? Want to make a quilt using these prints and don’t have enough collected yet. They seem to be hard to find. thanks, Ruth

I have a bunch of white ground vintage sheets with smaller flowers. Nothing large in my collection. Keep your eyes peeled you never know when you will stumble across them.
