I was sick one week, had no money the next week, didn't have a car most of one week so thankfully I had some "help" in not buying...but... February...might have a problem I have to go tomorrow as I am that way in town to get some prints to match the solids I have for a wedding quilt due in April. All the new stuff out there! But.. .so far only 3 coupons and I don't buy unless I have a coupon so might have some salvation there! But..we can do it! can't we????!!Cheri the Quilting Nannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06961524021921403281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613797883539438221.post-34902332919324946972014-01-31T21:06:20.600-08:002014-01-31T21:06:20.600-08:00I buy out of boredom too but my biggest downfall i...I buy out of boredom too but my biggest downfall is a good sale!

Alot of it has to do with the lousy exchange on our dollar right now, but I am also trying really hard to use what I have. But, so many gorgeous new lines out there!

I am so happy. I am way behind on blog reading because I don't want the temptation. I am really enjoying using up fabric I have -- I can't believe how satisfying that is! Can you take a small hand project to hand-bind or something while you travel? The internet is just too tempting for me!Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502089801927429325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613797883539438221.post-68310942774132965912014-01-28T11:40:19.536-08:002014-01-28T11:40:19.536-08:00Excellent work!

For me it can be as small as a $1 roll of seasonal ribbon at Target. I get the "it's NEW!" fix but I'm not out much money and it is something I will use.JLVerdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814082484881071454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613797883539438221.post-14794555194327827822014-01-28T11:29:47.424-08:002014-01-28T11:29:47.424-08:00Great job on not buying fabric -- My failures may ...Great job on not buying fabric -- My failures may mean I take the non buying an additional month at the end to try and make it a solid 6 months.
