I am selling the stash that resulted from my buying frenzies and now shop only with an item in mind. For instance, I was at a wholesalers sale today and bought only some fabrics I needed for a quilt. Ordinarily, I would have bought BIG just because it was so cheap! Prices have gone up significantly because quilters are pretty much a captive audience. We love to "brag" about our stashes even if we only accumulate. I've resigned from that and will not get caught up in it again. My money is better spent on enjoying life than being tied up on a shelf in a closet.
I am now to this point ,I wish I had been a much more thrifty shopper, I have more than I will ever use and also find my tastes in color and design vary but now I am stuck. I AM NOT BUYING MORE!!!!!!!!!
I am with you ladies...we're on the same page!!! I started a thread and hopefully it's on the 'offical' page now on Ufo's & Wips Challenge, the stratedy is: finish projects, no buying new fabric! Let's enjoy life a bit and not buy into every frenzy fad. After all, 'the one who dies with the most fabric', doesn't 'win' anything...her kids just have to haul it all away to Goodwill after the funeral!
