When I was working, I bought shoes all the time. Now that I am retired, I buy fabric all the time! I suspect in a few years I'll be in this group?! (actually I hope not, because I LOVE fabric!)

virtualbernie 06-19-2012 12:24 PM

I need to be there! Any fabric, gadget, thread, etc. that comes out I just have to buy and try! It's shameful!:D

I needed this today. Made a pledge not to buy fabric for 6 months, well spent $40 today on fabric...BUT IT WAS ON SALE...Ha Ha

nativetexan 06-19-2012 02:49 PM

I'm there already. JoAnn's is quite far from me, so that's good. Haven't been there in ages. Hobby Lobby and two quilt stores are another story.

pollyjvan9 06-19-2012 03:09 PM

Wow, there are so many of us!

Helen S 06-19-2012 04:16 PM

LOL! DH is probably calling around for one of these groups as I write this! lol

mighty 06-19-2012 05:52 PM

So cute!!!

DawnFurlong 06-19-2012 07:27 PM

Today I spent time telling myself that there will always be fabric out there tomorrow and always fabrics that are on sale that I can fall in love with - do I really need to buy this or that piece of fabric today?! LOVE fabric! I also told myself that I haven't even made something from my last purchases, the purpose of which was to build up a stash so I had choices to venture into a more scrappy style. Resorting to mind games to help keep my fabric purchasing in line (and not wreck my budget!).

Donna P 06-20-2012 04:18 AM

If it's on sale it doesn't count.....at least that's my resoning.

that is funny !!

lovingmama 06-20-2012 05:21 AM

Too cute!!!

glorcour 06-20-2012 05:23 AM

Too much like most of us. I am in a real purge stage now where everyting is scrappy including the back - lot more sewing of seams but I THINK the stash is growing smaller.

Lori S 06-20-2012 05:29 AM

I bet that group heads off to the nearest sale !

SandScraps 06-20-2012 06:29 AM

Very cute. I'm the blonde with the curly hair , front left on the picture. Can we make it more difficult to buy electronically. I'm quite good at avoiding real shops, but the virtual shops are just toooooo attractive.

grannysewer 06-20-2012 06:40 AM

Too cute! And I work in a fabric store! Do I need to confess I hardly ever get a paycheck?

PolkaBabe 06-20-2012 06:41 AM

I didn't buy any fabric all during lent this year. Didn't have the money, so that helped. Otherwise have gone a month without buying. That is hard but it has been easier then in years past.

WisWis 06-20-2012 07:36 AM

Thanks for sharing.

jcrow 06-20-2012 08:16 AM

So me! I promised myself I wouldn't buy any fabric for 6 months and just got done buying fabric this morning. Bad girl!

QandE2010 06-20-2012 09:25 AM

Yes, I belong to the "club" too.

Julie R 06-20-2012 03:02 PM

Like you and your shoes, I used to love shopping for clothing. But as the years go buy, I've found it's much more fun buying fabric - fabric always fits!

caspharm 06-20-2012 04:36 PM

Very cute.

ging10ging 06-20-2012 04:39 PM

That's cute I hope I never get there either. It's funny when you retire you find you don't need to buy as many clothes so I also buy fabric but I need to get off the QB and do some sewing. I enjoy this so much. It's company from all around the world. Sue

maryellen2u 06-20-2012 04:40 PM

Love it! Where is this group meeting in my neighborhood?

emlee51 06-20-2012 06:45 PM

Just been shopping from my stash.......so far, so good.

EllenwoodGa 06-20-2012 08:08 PM

I need to be there but I refuse to commit myself.

MimiBug123 06-20-2012 09:20 PM

I'm addicted, but don't want help! LOL!

clsurz 06-21-2012 02:50 AM

I need to be there for the rest of my life especially after I went to the Quilt show in Paduach end of April. JoAnns Fabrics over there LOVE ME! :D

lynnsv 06-21-2012 03:05 AM

I absolutely will be there!

cosyjo 06-21-2012 03:52 AM

Wonder how she waited so long?

Yooper32 06-21-2012 03:56 AM

But I might really need that fabric someday and by then, I won't be able to find it.....so, better get it now. Argument with self is over.

Grama Chris 06-21-2012 04:15 AM

This is so me......................Went to 3 quilt shops & came out with noting my friend thought I was sick......................I need rehab to get back in the swing of things he he he :-)

Kimcatlou 06-21-2012 05:09 AM
