Broke my no more buying rule...
I just finished ordering from Crabapple Hill studio an "Over the River.. pattern and floss kits. I just couldn't resist any more. I think my excitement will overshadow my guilt. lol

oh no! Ummmm about to break mine but need border for DGS quilt, does that count? Oh and BF aka "the enabler" has been buying FQ's does that count as well? I didn't pick them out he did and paid for them as well.

Almost ready to fall off the wagon myself
I decided to finish a few things before jumping headlong into anything else. Christmas is coming, dr bills, etc are all good reasons to abstain, BUT after being at Quilt Festival I am so inspired! ACK!!! I was such a good girl at festival and only purchased a few stencils. Maybe if I wrap up three projects I can treat myself to a new one. ANC I should shop stash first, only I know I don't own a single reproduction fabric. I'll enable you if you enable me. Good trade.

I try not to set hard and fast no-buy rules as I'll just end up feeling guilty if I succumb to the neat new fabric. I have found though that I'm more conscious of what I'm buying and more selective than I was when I first started building my stash.

I fell off the wagon too. I have a good stash, and my goal was to use it and let it get out of hand where I'd be labeled a "hoarder". I wanted to get my room sorted and organized - but with other household projects - everything in due time.
I have had a pattern and an "idea" for well over a year, and I've been collecting various fabrics for this idea for about the same amount of time. One of the things I need are border fabrics - not always easy to find.
So I fell off the wagon. A few times.

I decided that giving up buying new fabric was just too hard for me. So instead, I gave up buying junk food and soft drinks. I've lost 40 pounds in six months and have plenty of fabric to show for it
