Oh can we overlook the fact I went yesterday and spent$ for sale fabric? One of LQS had FQ's for $1.00 and I couldn't resisit:) I also purchased Christmas fabric, almost all of it for placemats for next year's craft fairs.

After re reading the pledge, I cannot make the pledge, would love to hang out and post pics using my stash if that is OK?

It isn't a pledge. Just a suggestion. As quilters we have so many rules lets make this about wisdom and fugal living within our means and wants. :thumbup:

There aren't any Quilt Police checking on what or how much we buy. Is there going to be a winner of who goes the longest without buying or a loser how buys the most? Hope not :?

You kinda set up your own rules and the group is there for support. I started Dec 1 and so far I'm doing well. I did buy 2 1/2 yards for a round robin I'd already committed to do but thats been it. I think my bank account may grow a bit this year.

Yes I'm on the fabric moratorium as well. :D

I would but there is no way...unless there is a fabriholic clinic I can join...My nick name is fabriholic on alot of groups...does anyone want to trade fabrics...That may get a better response...LOl

Exactly just got home from buying 1.99 a yard quilt shop fabric...too fun...I go 1st to my stash and usually have to add to it because I am picky about it all coordinating....I feel everyone needs to have a healthy addiction right?

Count me in. I did a no-buy challenge for a year with another group but last year just challenged myself. It's easier with friends. :D

Hey Daisey - Cool row by row. Seems I've seen some of that quilt somewhere < big grin> Looks great all together. Mine has turned into a UFO unfortunately so it is good for me to stay on No-buy.

I'm making progress. Didn't buy more fabric (we won't talk about other quilting supplies) AND I managed to start to organize part of the sewing section of the room over the holiday break. Far from being finished, but it's a start.

Okay, I just came back from Joanns and did NOT buy any fabric! Now want I did buy is green thread. I am doing a sample of of new patterns and need to have a constant. look on the green.

Sorry ~ Sounds like a great idea but.... I cant pass up bargains or unique fabrics ... I am sure I would fail the first or second week lol Thanks for trying to help my addiction and my pocketbook = maybe next year lol cheryl :-D
