Dont know what happened but I fell off the waggon... I bought 3 x 1/2 yard pieces of solid fabric to add to my "Plain spoken Quilt". They just yelled out my name when I walked into the store. I still resolve to stick to the plan!

I have been better because I'm on this board than I would have been on my own. I am breaking a very bad habit. I resisted several books that were calling my name just today.

I need a book Moratorium and not just quilting books. :lol:

I have cut my book spending way down by using my library card.

The library to me is like an ice cream store. I want ALL the books.

Holding my own here. Working on UFOs and pretending it's new fabric. Just wonder how long I can fool myself. Too afraid to go the fab stores alone. Not sure how strong I am. Using the money I'm saving to send out larger quilts to be quilted.

I used up two gift cards in January because they were just burning a hole in my pocket, but nothing more. I still check Craigslist for sales, and I've found some, but then I ask myself what could I possibly find that I would just have to have? What could possibly be so great that it would make all the fabric I have now pale in comparison? Exactly. Time to sew with the fabric I already have and loved when I bought it.

Staying strong!

I am on the Yahoo group "Sewitsforsale". I've really been tempted lately. I read the post, save it for a while, go back read it again and tell myself "I really don't need it. Use what you have." Especially when I have something similar to what they are selling.

Well I am onthe edge... I put some items in my shopping cart ( online) . And have till the endof the day to get the discount. ... I am so wanting to hit the button to confirm ... but am holding strong and not completeing the order. But they are beautiful!! All paisley ... my favorite colors too! This is really a good test of my will power.

I pieced a king sized quilt completely out of scraps/existing fabrics and didn't even put a dent in it. That showed me that I don't need to buy any fabric.
