Still hanging in there--at least mostly. Did buy fabric to finish the setting triangles on my diamond log cabin star, but have fabric for the other borders and binding already. Next the search begins for fabrics to make the backing. Gotta love those pieced backings.

So great to see everyone doing so well. I sorted through my Fibber McGee closet to find a half begun quilt. Goodness..I need to sew many quilts before I even think of buying any more fabric. Just have been so busy this month with company that I have sewed about 15 minutes total in July. Hoping for a long winter. Everyone is doing so well with staying on the wagon...and birthday gifts don't count or having someone request a quilt as long as they buy the fabric. :-)Emma..I loved your poem!

Superior Threads posted a "Quilters Anonymous" parody video by 4 guys. I laughed out loud. It's worth checking out.

I will have to go to the LQS and pick up more FQs for the birthday swap but then they will go straight in the envelope to be mailed out.

Oh my gosh I've been away from here for a while. Summer trips and all do take me away. I did good in July with no fabric bought which has been strange for me but I have found it to be somewhat liberating. Now comes a goodie .. my wonderful neighbor loves yard sales and she knows me and my love of fabric. I found a large garbage bag of fabric on my doorstep she had purchased for $10.00. She told me they wanted $20 but she talked them down to $10. I believe there's over 50 yards of quiltable stuff inside that bag. I did fall of the wagon early this month of August on a very cushy bag of fabric. $10 is a real deal on this one! And am I ever having a good time!

Failed just like my diet

Martina: Thanks for the link, specially loved the scrap of fabric in the guys beard. Rhonda: What a great neighbor! Love going through bags of fabric, better than Christmas morning. Calla: You can't get off with just a mea culpa, you have to share all the gory details.

Emma, I was lead astray by chocolate twinkies, followed by being wooed with Halloween oranges, in polka-dots, stripes, green cat eyes on black......not all on the same bolt mind you but several. I tumbled into the textile abyss..........

Calla: We have very long arms, just take a hand and climb right back on. I understand completely those beautiful fall colors are my gateway drugs.

Oh the love of fabric beckons us with colors of gold and rainbow too. We are among friends here. Each has a hand to help. Thank you all.

OK, Calla, you shared the gory details, and now I'm going to be derailed! Will you tell me about the green cat eye fabric? Like maybe the company that printed it? There's this friend....we have a joke going about eyes...so far I have two fabrics with eyes and one more would finish it off. She's retiring in four years, so I figure I can get it done by then. Sorry, Emma, this one was too good to pass up. And don't even ask about the 'Row by Row Experience.' My name is Carol and I'm a fabriholic...even peer pressure on here isn't enough to keep me from buying! (Glad fabric is my only addiction. Oh, and tea. Oh, yes, and chocolate.) Stopping here...getting tea. See all ya all later!
