I'm on a fabric diet, because I have run out of places to store my stash. May have to start getting rid of some of it.

I'm on a Fabric Diet, and like every other diet I have been on this one is doomed to fail.....

I am on a fabric 'diet' because I spent the last four years building my stash, and plan to spend the next four putting it all to use.

Pieced backings are the "in" thing now. There is no reason you can't piece the back and it really makes it fun and interesting.

I don't buy many magazines. I'm always disappointed that there's rarely anything I actually like enough to make

On a Fabric Diet so I ...... am using my stash to make quilts. Have one done all in blues ready to quilt, but will have to wait until Monday to start quilting. Having family dinner here on Sunday so I can't tie up the kitchen table. Don't want to start and have to put it all away.
