When do you buy the least amount of fabric?

I agree with Lori S. January ad February are my low fabric months. I've been shopping and sewing and wrapping for a couple months previous and I want to do something else all together. I'll do some crocheting and then start a scrappy quilt or finish one of those UFOs. I'm starting to itch now.

Yeah, I don't seem to have a specific time of year either. Seems I am a feast or famine buyer. I go on massive splurges then abstain for several months, then splurge again then fast again. I do tend to save splurge time for specific events like if I know I am attending a quilt show I will save up purchasing to blow on show specials. But if I stumble across a too good to pass up sale (like the recent fabric depot blowout of batiks for $5 PY) I will not hesitate to stock up. If I am on a serious buying fast I avoid temptation and won't go looking at any sites that may tempt me.

After January to about June I think. In January I may spend a bit using gift cards I've gotten as gifts, but then I'll realize how much fabric I have and how much I spent on fabric before Christmas to do gifts, and I'll resolve to use up my stash. I'll do really good until about June, and then once my resolve breaks, I'll buy like crazy, and then it will be time to start thinking about Christmas gifts again...
