I am on an all I can find for almost nothing diet. I am just getting started and I have so many ideas and I want to make so many quilts, I just cant wait to get started. I have enjoyed this site and have learned so much from you all so far. I hope I can do just half as good as all of you. I cant wait to get on hear everyday to see what all is going on. I hope to be able to get a quilt done soon so I can post a pic of it. Enjoy your day and keep up the great work!!

I put myself on a fabric right after I spent my $100.00 gift cert. my daughters gave me to my local QS, then today, I went to the same QS for an x-small yoyo maker, and guess what? She had a table of Moda for 25% off and I came home with a collection of "Simpler Time" fabric---beautiful!!! Oh well, I can start my diet February.

"I'm on a fabric diet because my husband things I should make some of the projects I have started. He is right, and I am working on it!!
Your quilted piece in your avatar is beautiful. Did you get the pattern online?
Have a good day!

Those two words don't belong side by side, unlike Chocolate & peanut butter !! :-D or Caramel, or or or do you get the drift how well diets go over in this household , :thumbdown: LOL
So many ways to use up the pretties without a huge investment, and many great ideas from the board!! :)

The only purchases I've made are batting, 2 new sheets at Goodwill for backings and a couple patterns. I even have been to the LQS 4 times this month and bought no fabric. Unfortunately, my stash doesn't look like it's gone down at all.
