In theory yes but for some reason every January 1st my resolution is to not buy any more fabric and I always end up buying some! But I'm going to try extra hard this coming year! I have to finish at least 6 projects before I can buy a new one.

But then you get into 3 months...6 months...that's when it starts to make me nervous. Could I go a year? Just talking materials, I bet I could. But psychologically? OOOOoooo...I dunno....

So, I bought a "lot" of cotton thread, just to be safe. I'd hate to be out of thread if I really resolved *not* to buy anything quilting-related....

Anyone ever done it?

Perhaps not fabric for over a year, but it's been almost 3 years since I've purchased a stitch of clothing. :)

Yes. I can't think of a thing I really NEED.

That doesn't stop the WANTS, though.

I wish! Wearing clothes until they can't be worn any longer. I don't have a lot of clothes, but I hate to shop. Unless it's for fabric, but I guess that goes without saying! :)
