Elly -- I am really proud of you for not buying during the major sale time frame for fabric! Keep shopping that stash!
Sewingpup, sounds like you have a wonderful collection of fabrics! There are folks willing to pay a premium for vintage novelty fabric on ebay if you want an interesting way to reduce your stash.
Irishrose -- i am so glad I do not have access to an LQS like yours!
Cold turkey is the only way I can go if I am going to maintain a zero increase in fabrics.... I am trying to whittle down my promotional emails so I don't see what the new fabrics are. To balance that cut off, I am increasing the "how to" blogs I subscribe to so my mailbox will still be full and I won't feel deprived of quilt connections. My moratorium does not extend to notions or quilting books and magazines. I probably should have a self-moratorium on those, too. I want to take a quilting cruise so that money would go towards that goal.
Have any of you done a quilting cruise? Are there ones you would say to stay away from?
