Not yarn but also a fabric-aholic. I have to NOT go into a couple of stores in particular. Not Joann but there is a sew-vac store where I got my sewing machine that also has a great collection of nice cotton fabrics. Even if I just go in there for vacuum bags I end up buying some beautiful batik fabric. And there is a small chain of fabric stores on the Central Coast of Calif. that are dangerous for me to go in. Not just cotton but everything. It's like heaven! When I die I want to go to Betty's!!!

I don't do quilts but make art dolls so I really don't use a lot of fabric at one time, so I usually just buy in half yard pieces, but it all adds up space wise. This past summer I bought and my husband and I put together a storage shed to house all of my fabric and supplies. Now I can see better what I actually have so I won't be buying the same things over and over.

Definitely a 12 step program is needed!!
