It's confession time.

I have never officially joined this thread, but did start off the year with the goal of limiting my fabric purchases. I had not folded and put away most of what I bought in the last year or more. DD had come to visit at Christmas time and I just dumped it all in several large totes to deal with later.

Finally got around to dealing with it in March and was shocked at all I'd bought and could hardly find room to put it away. That was when I decided I needed to stop purchasing more unless I needed it for a project.

And I was really good, for about one month! then I found out the local Fabric Warehouse store was going out of business. They had lower prices than the LQS to start with, and had 25% off everything. I went in and spent about $$$ over several trips getting some of the blenders that I loved and some others that caught my eye. At least this time I washed, folded and put away - no more piles on the floor.

But it didn't stop there, three weeks later they went to 30% off - at $7 a yard it's hard to say no. I've been in twice more, and washed and folded but have run out of shelf room. This weekend I was looking in my stash fabric on a shelf and tripped over a pile of fabric on the floor. I may have gotten hurt, but I landed on another pile of fabric on the floor.
