How about makig one gift for friends (I am making my son's dogs their own little couch quilts from left over materials) or to donate once a month from left over material from other projects. Now I could commit to that...But to stay out of stores..Nope...I tried that did not work. I like to make quilts with a person in mind. Themes..so may stash would not work for that.

I have failed.
My nearest Walmart that had the best fabric department in town was closing. I bought fabric. I didn't need fabric but I bought it. I am hanging my head down low - but it was 50 % off then I had to go in to get milk and bread and whatnot and it was 75% off. I didn't buy much although had there been more on the racks of decent quality I might have bought more. I have to say that in my defense I bought mostly blender materials. I did get a few yards of some canvas for making bags and also a few yards of a brown sunflower print that had caught my eye for months and I never broke down and bought it...
Sigh. I was weak - but it was really a great bargain. I am back on the straight and narrow again though. I almost bought some fabric from ConnectingThreads when I placed my last order (joint order with friends for mostly thread so we didn't have to pay shipping) but I deleted it at the last minute. I do feel better now.
My name is Deb and I am a fabricholic.

It really was extenuating circumstances.
I passed by tons and tons of fabric and only chose ones that I really thought I would use - no wild prints or things that were just cute. I was very picky. There were others there that were buying everything that wasn't bolted down - no pun intended but it does sound kinda finny.
