Some are talking about end of year squishes, and some are planning holiday gift lists, so this is a good time to ask: What fabric are you collecting now?
I'll start. Batik. (After seeing Wendy's WIP, I'm on the Batik Bandwagon!)
Same here - Ms. Mary. I'm getting rid of stash - no building it. But I can't resist a jewel colored batik - no matter how hard I try. I console myself about my addiction by telling myself I will give it away but know in my heart that I will fondle it for a very long time before I do that.
Pat, you are doing the right thing! (Here's a ((((hug)))) for your medical issues, whatever they are!) My medical issue is pretty trivial, just coming down with a cold, but to make myself feel better, I just went out and bought myself that cute little Swiss "knife"! Had a bit of mad money stashed away for just this sort of thing, and can't think of anything madder to spend it on! It's actually not just a cool toy, but a very practical little portable toolbox -I know I'm going to use the sewing machine needle inserter quite a lot. And there's a little widget for pulling threads to the back of knits when you get a snag. And a notch on the outside of the rotary cutter just for cutting threads. And the scissors are much more serious-looking than the usual Swiss knife scissors -they make that swishy sharp noise we all love. About the only thing it doesn't have is a knife blade. But there's a "regular" Swiss knife for that, the one with the corkscrew and bottle opener... Roberta in D

I love them and can't get enough of them. My problem is, I love them so much I don't want to use them. But they do make such beautiful quilts. I like using handdyes over solids for fillers or sashing and stuff like that.
