I recently attended the National Quilt Show in Columbus, Ohio. Wonderful quilts, had a great time. About half way through my sister-in-law (who had never been to a quilt show but was game) and I decided we were hungry so we ate.
Well, after eating (and usually before) I always want chocolate and this day was no different. I usually carry something with me but it has been so hot out and melted chocolate is really not my thing. I would simply buy a bar or cookie or brownie wherever we ended up. I walked over to the vendor where there were chocolate bars. Not willing to pay THAT price I decided to squelch my taste bud desire and put my money into chocolate fabric. I have quite a stash but I am always on the look out for chocolate or chocolate inspired fabric. Chocolate inspired could be swirls of brown, or something that looks carmelly, or brown with green in it (mints getting chocolate dipped), etc.
Nothing.
The days that I don't buy chocolate fabric is because I already have it. But this day I couldn't find anything that remotely looked like a good piece of chocolate (or even a bad piece). Do I need to alert the fabric companies that they need to make some new designs? That they are falling down on the job?
Or . . . do I need to design my own?

Starting out . . .
I have a love of chocolate which I know most people do. It's been in my life since the beginning. I don't recall one dinner when I was growing up that didn't end in dessert. I also don't recall it being anything but chocolate: cakes, cookies, fudge, candy, chocolate anything.
Oddly enough, I've raised my four children the same way with the disastrous result that none of them like chocolate! How do they not know what they are missing? How can anybody be -- dare I utter the words -- sick of chocolate? Beyond my comprehension.
