My husband would volunteer me in a second. But,I doubt if I could if I wanted to.

I have numerous ufo's to quilt, and that is something I'm new at, so should really take my time. And besides, I really should do some house work every once-in-a-while. Oh no did I say that.

I'll give it a try but I don't know if I can make it for a whole year. I'm having enough trouble staying away from the Connecting Threads sampler sale!

I'm trying to do that now. But putting a date on it that far away is too scary! I really do need to limit my new fabric though. Absolutely no place to put it!

that is worse than quitting smoking...I don't think I could do it.

I'm in. Nearly got through October without anything new, November was scaled way back too. Was thinking about going to Hancock's (50% off everything I want on Thursday), but might not go.

I've got WIP's and planned projects to keep me at my machine for a good long time. At some point some of the lovely fabric I have will be out of fashion, so I want to get caught up.

I don't think I could do a complete moratorium but I might be able to do a 3 for 1 deal. That is, for every three pieces of fabric stash I use up I get to buy 1 new piece. Use 3 FQs. Get to buy 1. Use 3 yards of stash fabric get to buy 1yard new fabric. I think I might be able to make it 6 months starting now with the exception of Xmas prints to do my stockings I am giving for presents.

So count me in to the stash busters club on the 3 for 1 plan.

Sorry, I lost already ;)

Not possible, so why even try. Theres fabric out there waiting for me. Like a puppy waiting to be picked.

How about if I give up exercise...Oh wait, I don't do that. I could give up tv...Hmmm don't do that too much either. I guess I could try, as long as we can buy batting and thread, I've got enough to go for awhile. Of course, those poor little QFK kids will be disappointed. Just kidding. I won't stop sewing for the little guys and any new babies that come in before deadline. :D :D :D Are we supposed to show what we've done from our stash? Maybe SOME of us should show pictures of our stashes before and after.
