I've been addicted to remnants. They are such a bargain! I can't resist. I just ordered some fabric online the other day so I can't give advice, but before I order I ask myself if I absolutly love it and can't live without it and I have a use for it. If the answer is yes, I go for it, if not I pass.

Katie,
This made me chuckle :lol: Maybe we should give out pins (10 day for you) for those of you who are on the wagon..heehee |
I have a new system, I put everything in the cart that I want then turn the computer off. By the time I get back to it, I've decided I don't want it any more.

i keep telling my DH quilting and buying fabric is cheaper than a psychiatrist. anyone think he believes me.

It's winter. we have to buy more fabric to insulate our sewing rooms. Besides, it's a woman's job to help keep the economy going. We create jobs by buying fabric: store keepers, their employees, truck drivers to deliver to the stores, people at the mills to make the fabric and farmers to grow the cotton we need. It's downright Patriotic to spend, spend, spend.
At least that's my excuse. LOL |
It is very hard to control oneself (especially fabric). But I try to wait until i want to make another quilt and of all my fabric i never have enough of the right one, worse is i do not have a sewing room to put it in. SO I have to control it... I will have to keep making scrap quilts.... lol :lol: :lol: :lol:

I agree with all of you, but saying and doing are two different things.

I know how compulsive I am too, but I just keep telling myself enough is enough! Love your avatar quilt!! Could you PM me the name of the pattern if you have it? Thanks, Cindy Lou Who |
I have made 2 bed size quilts in the last month and have only spent $35 on fabric, with all the rest coming out of my stash. It was very satisfying!!
Pick out a pattern and then go through your stash and pick out what will work for it. Put the pattern and the fabric in a container together. Do 2 or 3 of these projects kits, then take one and start it. By the time you get through with them, it'll be 3 or 4 months, and you'll have broken your habit of buying. I can raise my hand and say honestly "That's what I did, and I broke my really bad habit". :thumbup: :thumbup: :P You can do it!!! |
