I fell off the wagon too, but that's understandable because I was only hanging on by my fingertips. I went to a deceased quilter's garage sale and came home with 66 yards of quality fabrics, including a wide back, for only $125. Last month I bought a wide back for a current quilt, added 3 yards of Amish black (which I've been using a lot) and a pincushion to get $20 off and free shipping, applied my points from previous purchases, and wound up paying only $12. I feel like one of those extreme coupon clippers, without the coupons.

I'm trying to reconcile my conflicted feelings. On one hand I have a huge stash and don't "need" any more fabric. On the other hand I do make quilts, lots of quilts, from my stash. Although I'm not spending more than I can afford, I am concerned that my children will someday have so much fabric, tools, and machines to dispose of. My quilt room is well organized, but it's getting very full. It's so confusing that sometimes I feel guilty at not feeling guilty!
