Thank you for starting this. I'm in. The only change I'm making is stopping Nov. 1st for year end sales even though I didn't start until Jan. 14. I really want to do this. I think it will help if I have others to help.

What I'm thinking about is this...
* no fabric purchases to start a new quilt top
* from now until 1 November 2011
What you can buy is this - items to finish an existing quilt project (either WIP or UFO):
* batting
I have spent only $2.60 on fabric in months!! I set up my sewing room, have plenty to work from and think saving $$ has been great. I am going to use it for classes or a sewing retreat
* backing or binding fabric
* fabric (if nothing in your stash will work)
* thread or notions
Anyone else interested in joining me?

Wonder who would cave first? Can I have my family buy something for me? :lol: I did fairly well in January at not buying anything extra, but just yesterday I fell down. I have so many ideas and plans on the drawing board (and in the cupboard) I shouldn't have any want. I'll try with you.

Boy am I late on the band wagon. I'll give it a try anyway. Like you I have plenty to keep me going. One question: How much weight are we going to gain from eating because of the stress on not being able to purchase material? Keep your eye on the goal: DO THE BEST WITH WHAT YOU HAVE!

I think I should join this, I've been trying to do this for quite some time and maybe having some support will help. I wish I had seen this thread when you first posted it. I think I might have been busy shopping.........Count me IN!
