I have been on a no buy for a while now. Just buy blenders. I have not reached the end of my fabric yet. I think it multiplies as I don't seem to have any empty places. Have been doing a lot of scrappies with without buying, also

I did this in 2011. Only bought linings,batting and 4 fat quarters to finish a mystery quilt. Feels so good to have my fabric down to two plastic bins. Still have one small bin of UFO. Gave on away last night.

Count me in too! I made it through 2011 with only 1 purchase of backing and batting so I feel like I can do it again. Plus this year I think I will work on restoration of my moms old treadle machine that's been in the storage room for 15 years!

I'm going to try again this year. Last year I made it till Feb. I've just spent 1 1/2 wks. cleaning my sewing room. Found fabric I don't even remember buying. I have enough kits and UFOs that I could sew all year just to get them done (and that doesn't leave any time to sew purses for my craft shows). I'm almost embarrassed at the amount of fabric I have.
JUST BECAUSE IT'S ON SALE DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE TO BUY IT!!!!!!!!

Great Timing..
See this house. well ours is pretty much the same lay out w/ the exception of the second story.....Weeeellll I vowed not to buy any fabric for a year if we could install the white vinyl fencing . He doesn't think I can do so he agreed. Now the deal doesn't go unless the fence is installed first...lol

I'm in. At my age (81) I've been trying. I have a charity quilt group that uses 9" blocks. I've donated quite a bit but do have trouble cutting up some favorites. I know I will never use those triangular cut offs! Can I throw them away?

I'm in. My therapist says I'm spending money on fabric to soothe self--I have started making dolls to sell on etsy and using stash for doll clothes--I will only buy what I will sell on etsy. So far, in the last month I have only spent what I have made. Would like to go to the Houston Quilt show in October so I will try really hard to have money saved for that!
