I know how compulsive I am too, but I just keep telling myself enough is enough!

Try saying to your self is it a WANT OR A NEED and then go from there... Sorry but I don't buy material I use all of what I have that has been given to me when I bought a quilting machine. The only material I did buy was for the backing. Merry Christmas

I justify buyin more fabric by telling myself that prices are going way up next year, and I won't be able to afford to buy anymore. And I only buy on clearance/sale under $4. And I delete most emails from fabric stores without opening them. And I've found fabric shopping is the best cure for depression. And I really don't spend much money on anything else. And...and...and....

So I am trying to curb my buying while 'under the influence". DH doesn't really complain tho. I'm pretty good compared to some of the wives the guys he works with are. I've heard of them having a charge card & running it up to $10-20,000. I won't use a charge card thank goodness!

Currently, I am re sorting my fabric and I am discovering fabric I had forgotten about. It is a nice discovery. I have also learned that I have had pretty good tastes in the past. I like what I have purchased. LOL We are funny creatures! :lol:
