    I think you asked the wrong person if you want me to tell you that you have to stop buying fabric, because I can't do it. I do have a good sized stash, that grew by 40 yds. when a technician at the nursing home found out I quilted, so she gave me the fabric a friend had given her because she wasn't going to use it. Since I'm now pretty much recovered from my spinal cord injury and can quilt again, I used that fabric and more. Then I decided to make Bow Tucks bags, and needed some fabrics for the bags, plus fusible fleece, etc., etc., however, I do admit I did very well at a craft fair last Nov., so I've been using that money to buy fabrics as I need them. I am, however, limiting myself to the money I earned to buy new fabric, but the funds are getting low, guess I'll just have to make and sell more bags. LOL. Quilting is my obsession, my therapy, my reason to be, especially since we are both retired and I need something to keep me busy and of course making things for our DGD is fun as well. Besides, quilting is just plain fun and who doesn't need some fun in their lives.

    Of course it's ok! You have plans for that fabric so you know it will get used.

    I fell off the wagon , for this sale. I figured out that with the extra coupon for 15 % off , and the free shipping ... and no sales tax... it was a great deal. Don't fret this one !

    I deleted mine, but I did buy a couple of kits and 2 large MOOSE panels to make my daughter a quilted window treatment and my younger dd a quilt for her bed in log cabin style. Hate to shop, love to buy fabric tho, I really don't need any more, because if I die tomorrow it will probably be burned.

    I will be glad to join the other enablers. Yes, must buy more fabric. It is definitely less painful than a hole in the head. Enjoy your squishy when it comes.

    It is definitely okay. I can't help myself either.
    I got dinged one time with border costs and now I only buy from Canadian online fabric store.
    I haven't visited fabric.com in a while, must resist the temptation now

    Buy when on sale.
    It's cheaper than paying full price.

    I unsubscribed from their emails because it was driving me nuts reading them every day and not buying. Mostly I buy from the remnant bin at JoAnns. Half price of half price.
