    I was doing pretty good until I went to a link on Yardsellr.com. I was gifted with something they call PhotonBucks. I ran across some pretty purple fabric that was $9.50 a yard. With the PhotonBucks, it ended up costing $1.90 including shipping.

    Just couldn't resist such a deal !!!

    I would have made it except a friend phoned and asked if I wanted anything at one of the online fabric sites as she needed $15 more for free shipping. Of course, I had to help my friend out!!

    When I'm trying not to buy I just don't go to the fabric stores.....it is REALLY hard not to buy when you see something you like!

    I really need to go on a fabric diet. This is worse than a food diet. Just this morning I caved in and brought 2 fat quarters and a half yard of a tone on tone blue, which is the next to last fabric needed to start another quilt. The fat quarters were for tree trunks for another bear quilt. At least this is my justification for buying these two fabrics. Right now I have 8 quilts lined up in different stages of fabric completion before I can make these quilts. Quilting and fabrics are my biggest addiction, then food. I know I am not alone here.

    I backslid and bought $30 this week. I didn't mean to do it...just loved the fabric and seemed too good a deal to pass up since it was on sale. Wallowing in guilt.

    That's what I need to do, though my last purchase was for printable fabric sheets from EQ.

    I have stayed away from my LQS, did real good there, but brought my Husky into Joann's (dealer has space there) and there was a clearance area, bought only $15 worth for quilt backs. My machine is ready for pick up, and I think I will have my DD pick it up for me. I spent another $5 on a huge box from my Goodwill. I am also keeping a list of what I spend on quilting for 2012.

    I just finished sorting and shelving my fabric-out of tubs and in my line of site. Bad move-now not only do I know what I have so does DH. I don't NEED any more fabric-but --but--I WANT IT!!
    Need to finish up some of my current projects-mostly kids quilts. I actually have 11 tops that need quilting. So back at it.
