Why buy fabric at any price if you never use it. DH went on a diet too.
Ditto to this post! Retired in 2006 and 2011 is my year to clean it all up, use it all up or get rid of it. Only 1 month into the scheme and I feel much better already...I should be fairly floating by the summer.
I'm with you both on this! I'm not retired, but still feel the same way. I started a thread on the qb called" Ufo's & Wips challenge are you game?". I'm finishing up projects this year, we have a 'no buy' fabric diet going on as well. I've finished 2 quilts, and am almost done with #3 and it's only been a month into it!....yes by summer I'll feel much 'lighter' as well.
