not to buy fabric. I am not supposed to buy any fabric since I got my "windfall" from Craigslist and have more fabric than I'll ever use. BUT, when I went to a fabric outlet store today (to look for a backing for a music quilt), I just couldn't help myself. It's all so pretty and relatively inexpensive. So please, don't tell my DH I bought more!! Last week he said "you shouldn't even be thinking about buying more fabric". Well, I guess you could say I really didn't think about it, I just did it. Perhaps, I'll behave myself for a month or so now ...

I know the feeling. I'm trying to use up stash and only buy to augment a project. Right now I'm avoiding the LQS and working hard on projects hoping that helps. Maybe if I remove so much from stash, I can add more and no one will be the wiser. I feel for you.

I forgot to say that your husband and mine must be talking cause they sure sound alike. I have my fabric he can have his tools.

Have heard this story before (LOL). However, when getting fabric for backing, batting, etc. it's just wayyyyy tooooo tempting not to look.

I think "diet" should be "buy it" ROFL. It's so hard not to. Seriously....

I agree about the trade off. Tools for fabric. No one had better complain about my stash. You can't keep warm under a drill press.
