My local joanns is moving to a larger store. They won't accept any coupons or honor flyer until new store opens so i am on enforced fabric diet until march 9.
Probably a good thing

I'm still "master of my domain", but it's been tough. Had a cart all ready for checkout at Connecting Threads, but I haven't done it.....yet. Now if I can just lay off the stinkin' cookies and drop a few lbs. Fabric isn't my only serious downfall.

I fell of the wagon Friday night. I was in the store at the clearance area. I saw 2 different fabrics one blue & the other green. My colors. I cound not leave then there. They were 0.50 cents a yard!!! I had to get them both. I got 2.5 yards for $2.50. The devil made me do it.

I have not spent any money on fabric this month. Pat on the back, for me. LOL

Well, I fell off the wagon with a loud THUD!! Was doing okay (only bought 2 yards for a sample for my LQS) until Friday. I found some "handyman" fabric that coordinates with a panel I've been wanting to make my grandson. Bought 6 yards, but that's still a lot less than I normally do.

That is OK in my book. The fabric you bought has a purpose. You were not adding stash.

I have done pretty well. I only bought some sweatshirt fleece backing for a t shirt memory quilt. Well, and a yard of Valentine fabric.

I haven't done bad, except I am looking at buying another vintage machine now, but the guy hasn't returned my call. Starting to think he may have already sold it, rats! That would save me money, but I would rather have the machine and blow my budget.

No fabric in 3 whole months. If only I could do this with food.
