Sorry about your gout NoraB ouch! Though I did get a chuckle out of your thriftiness. I tell my husband when something seems a waste "do you know how many yards of fabric that is?!" I must say it a lot because he now says it back to me!
beckyw saving a special fabric I do a lot. I have to talk myself into using it then talk myself out of buying more.
First month down I only bought the one yard of fabric. I'm very proud of myself.
