my New Year's resolution is not to eat any watermelon for 6 months.

It only counts if you made the same resolution last year. (You didn't, did you?)

I went overboard as my LQS had a blow-out inventory reduction sale last week!! I really tried to think of anything I might need for the next year to use with my stash. I spent an obscene amount of money -- the owner thought there had been a mispriced item or something!! BUT, I'm vowing to ONLY use from my stash in 2013!! Happy New Year, everyone and happoy quilting!!

If I had to be the jury on this , I would have to say "not guilty"... you squeaked it in just under the wire.

I have a pretty nice stash, however when Hancocks and Connecting Threads send the absolute teaser sales, with additional %'s off, well, I crumble. I have learned that if I don't buy it when I see it (and love it), when I do decide to purchase, it is gone or the sale is over!

Deb, you are so right. I posted the other day while I was quibbling over whether to enhance my stash or buy for a specific quilt. Ultimately, I ordered everything but I dithered so long that one of the fabrics was sold out. Luckily, it was a neutral that I think I can find a substitue for.

If I had not bought fabric at the end of year sales every year, I would have had to pay almost triple the price during the year so I buy buy buy when I find a great sale. I love using my fabric I know I paid a few dollars for when the same fabric is over $10 a yard in the store.

maybe the "better" resolution is to vow to use X number of stash pieces w/ 1 newly bought piece.

Good luck!! And no - doesn't count til after midnite - maybe even midnite in Hawaii or Alaska - which ever is the furthest west....
