It's so hard.....can't resist a good sale. I only buy on sale....weather I need it or not. It's an addiction.....ok I said it! It could be worst...I'll never use everything I have now,even if I don't buy anything else. Now to take over another clost and get DH to put more shelves. Lol

Wait, I didn't get the memo...we're supposed to stop buying fabric?

I don't, I can't. I love fabric. Right now I don't feel like I have too much. .

Yes, do not go to fabric store.

It is hard but I've decided until I get caught up with lots of works in progress I'm only buying what I need to finish a job. I'm not starting anything new except for my monthly embroidery club and that's educational so I don't want to miss that. I have lots of fabric so this hasn't been hard (lots to me; small compared to others). I've only boughten 2 FQ since before Christmas and some felt for Christmas presents and stabilizer and thread. I also don't go to the store unless I have a reason; no window shopping for me. I only buy my stabilizer at Hancocks on the first 3 Wed of the month to get the additional discount and I buy it by the yard. I agree, it is such an addiction. My daughter hasn't even gotten into heavy duty sewing yet and she has a hard time resisting shopping at the store or in my sewing room.

The other thing is organize. This past yr I got the cubbies book shelves from Walmarts and along with shelves I started pulling out my fabric from totes, etc. I was surprised at the fabric that I had forgotten that I had. I still have more in a closet that someone gave me but my shelves are overrun. I don't have lots of yards of fabric, so no bolts but alot are at least a yrd. I couldn't believe how many things even besides fabric that I had forgotten I had until I started getting organized.

I can not quit buying, an right now I am not doing any sewing. Just cant seem to get in the mood again. But let me get a catalog an I am sending for fabric. Waiting for 2 that i have sent for.

I have the same issue with fabric. I have taken to deleting all incoming sales notifications etc. It helps , as nothing is so compelling as a sale.
This year I have vowed to make some quilts out of larger pieces so the output exceeds the input.

Our LQS closed, so I started shopping on line. DO Not visit those web sites!! I have lots of quilt tops I want quilted, so now I limit myself to quilt backings.

You are not alone. There are so many beautiful fabrics out there and if you don't buy it when you see it, it may be gone when you go back so you buy it when you see it....it's a never ending cycle.
