I rarely buy fabric any more unless I need it for a project. I have too much.

YES!
i buy fabric with and without a plan- if i want it and can afford it i buy it- sometimes i have a plan- sometimes not-

I don't buy unless i have a project or pattern to use it. I enjoy going to the LQS's several times a week. Gets me out in the winter weather and I get to see friends.

I like tjradj's answer; me too.

Good answer tjradj.Me too!!!!!!

I hear that one! I like most of what a designer puts in a line and the only reason I would stay in that line is because I am horrible at matching, but they always seam to put in polka dots or stripes or that god awful large hideous print! I agree with putting all the colors in one spot, but I look at stores this way, everyone puts the same things in their kitchens, they just put them in different spots! LOL

I'm with tjradj, LOL I also can't pass up a sale so thats where I usually buy.

75% of the time I buy b/c I like the fabric. The rest of the time I have a person and project in mind. Even then I make changes in fabrics selections as I make my project. Then it's back to the LQS I go to buy more fabric I like.

I do both.

I've done both but now with the economy and my husband retiring now it'll change how I would just buy because I liked it altho we're going to visit our son in Ga in a couple of wks and I plan on doing a little shopping for fabric or some fancy thread or whatever I can find that I like. He's living in Warner Robins, Ga I know they have a big Joanne's but I don't know what else. I'll have to look online or if anyone knows of places please let me know. Sue
