Hi.....

 .... my name is Jeanette & i'm addicted to buying fabrics, books, patterns & goodies. I think i need help. :) Lol.

I tried to resist, i really did.  But i keep seeing cute things on blogs from Natalies book. Just loved the Christmas ideas in Rosalie's book. After seeing a few versions of this quilt i "needed" to get this pattern below myself as it is very cute.
Also arriving in the mail last week was Shell's next pattern in her little houses along with those yummy choccies & teabag.
Shell wraps up the goodies so lovely. I unwrapped the pattern for the photo but left the threads wrapped up so you can see how pretty it looks. :)

I purchased a few bits & pieces from Cath & Marg at our retreat.
Some Christmas fabrics from Marg to make a table runner. The blue piece is for a bag & the others because i liked them.
Love the cute softies & i can't pass by anything with embroidery.

Barb was making mug bags at retreat & as i needed a new one i got one from her. She didn't have any with cats on the front so i chose this one
Just 2 of my favourite things.
The week before Shez let me know my Christmas swap parcel was on its way & i opened my door either Monday or Tuesday to find a huge parcel sitting there.
Now i have to be good & not peek until Christmas. (i haven't looked Shez). Our swap arranged by the lovely Cheryll was to be a sack & 2 gifts for the first month , then 2 gifts every month until we have 12 to open at Christmas.
 My sack full of goodies. Thanks again Shez.

Lastly i'd seen Phoebe the elephant made up in beautiful fabric on Helens blog & loved it. I finally rang Tereasa & asked her could she send me the pattern & kit please. It arrived yesterday.
So can anyone direct me to some sort of quilters anonymous group for help? Although not everything i've shown i bought. Lol

Happy Stitching,

    I don't think there is a 12 step program for troubled quilters. LOL!
    Anyway there are worse things you could spend your money on...at least we create something wonderful from it all and even it share it sometimes...win/win for me.

    This is not an illness, it's therapy. "Retail Therapy." Buying quilting and stitching stuff is the best kind of therapy where as we share the benefits with friends and family. :) See...it's good! hee,hee,hee.

    I think most of us are exactly the same!! But I have just read somewhere that if we buy all these things now, when we retire and have no money, we will be set!! I think that makes a whole lot of sense!!
