I did really great not buying until November when a couple of quilt shops closed and I had to help them get rid of leftover fabric. Wasn't I nice?
Then all these special sales I just had to help.
Then black Friday and cyber Monday, I just had to do my share!
I'll do better next year!

No thank you. I don't have a problem. I can quit any time. Really I can. I just don't want to.
I also have a pre-order coming - from Favorite Fabrics. Can't remember the name of it, but it's an absolutely gorgeous floral stripe that made my heart melt. It's not coming until April, and who knows what else I'll find!

Hey Kiwi! Several years ago I promised myself not to buy anything for a year and to use only fabric I had on hand. That year I made the most creative quilts. It was really fun and it felt good to save money too! I'm in.

I would do this IF I thought I could succeed but I KNOW I won't so I won't. :-) Besides I have to buy while I can so that in my retirement years when I won't be able to afford to buy as much and as often I will already have a stash to last me a very LONG time.

Who could resist that kind of temptation? Not me certainly. Does this make him an enabler or a pusher?
