My husband would volunteer me in a second. But,I doubt if I could if I wanted to.

I have numerous ufo's to quilt, and that is something I'm new at, so should really take my time. And besides, I really should do some house work every once-in-a-while. Oh no did I say that.

I'll give it a try but I don't know if I can make it for a whole year. I'm having enough trouble staying away from the Connecting Threads sampler sale!

I'm trying to do that now. But putting a date on it that far away is too scary! I really do need to limit my new fabric though. Absolutely no place to put it!

I'm in. Nearly got through October without anything new, November was scaled way back too. Was thinking about going to Hancock's (50% off everything I want on Thursday), but might not go.

I've got WIP's and planned projects to keep me at my machine for a good long time. At some point some of the lovely fabric I have will be out of fashion, so I want to get caught up.

I don't think I could do a complete moratorium but I might be able to do a 3 for 1 deal. That is, for every three pieces of fabric stash I use up I get to buy 1 new piece. Use 3 FQs. Get to buy 1. Use 3 yards of stash fabric get to buy 1yard new fabric. I think I might be able to make it 6 months starting now with the exception of Xmas prints to do my stockings I am giving for presents.

So count me in to the stash busters club on the 3 for 1 plan.

How about if I give up exercise...Oh wait, I don't do that. I could give up tv...Hmmm don't do that too much either. I guess I could try, as long as we can buy batting and thread, I've got enough to go for awhile. Of course, those poor little QFK kids will be disappointed. Just kidding. I won't stop sewing for the little guys and any new babies that come in before deadline. :D :D :D Are we supposed to show what we've done from our stash? Maybe SOME of us should show pictures of our stashes before and after.
