On a Fabric Diet So I ...(Finish this Sentence)
#42
I don't like diets and am not good at it. Spending less but buying from other peoples stash and good sales. I did buy several new rulers for certain techniques and blocks. I buy almost no patterns. Like others mentioned there are many free patterns online never mind pattterns in older magazines and books you can find used or might still have at home. It seems I have a mind of my own anyways and end up designing patterns myself.

I'm on a fabric diet so switched to low-cost quilt makings this time around...went to a local church thrift store and got a whole shopping bag crammed full of 100% cotton shirts (plaid and shirtings) for a buck. Less than half the price of just one fat quarter!

I hadn't bought fabric or patterns in quite some time, but since joining this board thats all I do now. I see everything everyone else is doing and it stirred me up. I don't know what i will do with all my patterns, but when i die my kids sure will be ticked off. Revenge, its so sweet when you can tick your kids off.

You all sound like me! I have a prayer hanging in my office that goes: So far today, I have been so good. I have not gossiped, haven't lost my temper, haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or over indulgent. I am very thankful for that. But in a few minutes, Lord, I am going to get out of bed. From then on, I'm probably going to need a lot more help. Maybe we should add buying fabric to that list!
