The worst for me is Missouri Quilt. Every morning in my in box is this super sweet, neat, tantalizing deal of the day which .......if you look in one of my drawers is just chock full of jelly rolls, charm packs, etc. It's ok. You don't have to have a project for it, you just have it.

Before retirement I could spend a whole pay check at fabric stores and not blink an eye. But now I am living on less than 1/2 of a weeks pay per month. So my advice is -Build a beautiful stash of fabrics. Use your coupons for batting and rotary blades to include in your after retirement stash. And do not ever feel bad or guilty about your lack of control while shopping for fabric. Consider each purchase as an investment in your future's mental health well being. Quilting and sewing has helped to keep me get through all the extra hours I now have to fill and keep me sane. Happy Shopping.......

People I feel sorry for you---I have tons of self control! I can control my urge to go into the laundry room and start the next batch, I can control the urge to empty/fill the dishwasher, I can even control the urge to do Many household chores, and I can easily control my need to leave my sewing room and hop on the treadmill for more steps... I am a shining example of self control...

I'm afraid I don't have a lot of self control either, however, I am temporarily in a no buy period because of shoulder surgery (had my right shoulder replaced) I cannot drive, and my DH doesn't drive, so I'm going no where. Yes, I could order online, but DH has had his credit cards hacked more times than I care to count, so not sure how to resolve that problem. However, once I can drive again, it's off to JoAnn's, even if I only buy thread (like that's all I'm going to buy LOL.)
