I believe I like Dictionary.com’s definition<\/a> of “avid” much better, especially when the term is used to describe my relationship with quilting:
\n“Marked by keen interest and enthusiasm”
\nEven a “fierce devouring affection” seems preferable to Google’s definition of the word: “Longing eagerly for; eager; greedy. ”

Quilters have what they call “stashes” of fabric, so that you have the piece you need at 3:00 in the morning when the stores are closed and you can’t sleep. Actually, I’ve never pieced or quilted at 3:00, but I AM a fabriholic. One hundred per cent cotton is a beautiful fabric, and the colors and patterns available today are astonishing!
