(I get free fat quarters for buying other stuff, but kept that to a minimum too.) Since I haven't started any new projects, I haven't missed not having fabric purchases.<BR/>I guess I could do it again for August. I do have a $10 gift certificate from Joann which I will allow myself to use for fabric (it's on sale!), but no cash or credit fabric purchases.Shelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22312109.post-1154245142176644682006-07-30T00:39:00.000-07:002006-07-30T00:39:00.000-07:00I'm in - except for the first week in August.

I have to admit, I know I will not make it through the AQS show here in Nashville. So if I buy fabric there, I will extend my no buying through the first week of Sept.
