I understand completely! No, you are not a failure. I, too, have put myself on a spending moratorium for this year. I only going to buy when necessary for a particular project. I have lots of projects in various stages so I'm not going to start too many new things this year. Don't beat yourself up over this.

Ah well, I suspect most of us that signed up for that fabric moratorium will fall off the wagon sooner or later. Today I needed a quilt backing. Good thing nothing at CT would work, or I'd be on the road with you! But a 50% off sale? Hey, that's smart to stock up...and you'll be too busy sewing to go back. Right? Maybe? I'd be back there a LOT! Enjoy your new stash!

Oh, you're not alone. I didn't sign up but was determined not to buy more. Local store in my area is closing and all of her fabric is $3 a yard. I went in today and (holding myself back, believe it or not), bought 68 yards - 2 yards each of 26 and 4 yards each of 4 different fabrics. And I seriously WAS holding myself back!!!
