I forgot to tell you...I'm not allowed to buy any more fabric. *sniff sniff*
See, after seeing my stash photos, my friend Kristin decided to get to work on her yarn stash. Let me tell you about Kristin ~ she is amazinly talented. Just take a look at her etsy store. Its amazing. I own several Kristin originals, and I love them all. This woman can just look at an object and a few minutes later she has made an exact replica out of yarn. Its awe inspiring (look for some of her creations to show up here...just as soon as I get my sewing machine back).
Anyway, we got to talking and realized that we were both drowning in our addictions. Me: fabric. Kristin: yarn. So we challenged ourselves. Neither of us will buy any fabric/yarn until June 1st (unless its for a custom order ~ which I dont' really have to worry about....). On June 1st if we've both made it she will buy me a yard of my choice of fabric and I'll buy her a skein of her choice. Deal? Deal.
And then we're going to start all over again. Because, lets be honest, two months really isn't going to put a dent in either stash now, is it?

i recently made a decision to not buy and new fabric until august 1. yikes! good luck with making it to june. it is so tempting to buy more when there is such cute stuff out there!
Great that you have someone to "diet" with. LOL Best of luck in the next 2 months.
Good luck! I'm a new quilter and have been knitting for just a year (I own less than 60 skeins) so I haven't gotten to the point yet where I "need to stop". Looking forward to seeing what you're going to pull out of your stash!
Ugh, I totally need to do this too. My sad confession - I don't have time to sew, so I buy fabric instead to get my fix. Not very smart. Must sew instead of shop!! Hope your "diet" is going well!
