I love buying books--quilting as well as novels-but as someone stated you can get many free patterns on line.

Have you ever checked out Jodi Barrows...she writes books and incorporates quilts and quilt history in her novels.

I'm on a fabric diet, so I spend more effort participating in Charm Swaps, Block Swaps, and give-aways.

So I try to use what I have on hand, sometimes changing the colorway of my project. I also piece my backings and bindings. But as we all know with diets, you can only stay on for so long before the "urge" overwhelms you!

The only purchases I've made are batting, 2 new sheets at Goodwill for backings and a couple patterns. I even have been to the LQS 4 times this month and bought no fabric. Unfortunately, my stash doesn't look like it's gone down at all.

HaHa how does that happen?

I think it is like DH's old cars. They multiply when we aren't looking
