I cant make it a week without buying something quilting related.. I guess if I had to, I could 'survive' a year with what I have in stash.. although batting would be an issue..

I could go for a very long time without purchasing, but I swear the economy thrives only when I spend $$. If I take time off- the reports say consumer spending drops. It can't be I'm the only one spending, but why does it coincide with my self imposed moratoriums on spending?
That said- I've made it 2 weeks without buying anything. But that's because I have to mail the credit card statement with my check for my new sewing machine (gotta keep my mantra- pay in full every month- no balance carryover).
What is going to be hard- I need a gift certificate for the girl that works for me- from our favorite lqs. How will I keep it at just the certificate?????

I'm on a quilting diet at the moment by choice. If I can do it for a year I will have several bills paid off!
I only buy on sale and only what I have to have (batting, backing)for the projects on the wait list.
I am so glad for the swaps as I can make from my stash and yet still receive "new" fabrics.
Wish me the strength to continue.

I am trying to do that right now - it has been a week so far - I purposely planned my next trip to town (55 miles one way) on the day the LQS is closed. I spent alot in the last month and have plenty (yah, right) of fabric for xmas stuff. So I am taking it one week at a time. (worse than quitting smoking)....
