My daughter doesn't want the batiks I purchased in November so I guess my stash has increased. We need a new thread. My resolve is slipping. I had a small bundle of FQs in my hand at the grocery...

I'd like another year. I think it helps keep me aware of my purchases before I make them. I did buy some on sale batiks in Nov but I think they are going to my daughter for Christmas.

No one here to tell me what I can buy, but space limitations are my reminder not to buy. Over 1900 square feet should be enough for one person and 2 dogs, but right now it isn't. If I could get rid...

Brat, I have purchased very little this year and every piece has had a destination which is far cry from my usual buying habits, so for me the moratorium has helped - and, no, I don't plan a buying...

I have to go to both LQSs to drop off flyers for the church bazaar. Can I do it without cruising the clearance rooms? Yeah, sure, why not? So far I've done well this month, but it's only the 14th.

What a perfect day and you didn't buy more fabric than you could carry so I say you did good. I had to laugh at your husband crashing a funeral. I'm thinking that doesn't happen too often. This time...

One local guild's quilt show was today. Iidn't buy any fabric, but a Redeye sewing machine followed me home - it's a lot harder to hide than a little fabric. I had some magazines picked up but sanity...

Martina, do you have enough eagle fabric? Sounds like you must all set. I haven't been to the store for my 1/2 yard of red. I'm not brave enough to go in with such a good sale yet.
