I went through my stash last night and realized that I am really low on browns. Only a few FQs left. I think I need to go buy some brown fabric. NEED has not been in my fabric-shopping vocabulary for a long time.

I said that I would report back (confess) if I visited the quilt shop that was selling out. Went this afternoon. I only bought 5 yards (half off), and I'm sending 2 to my sister. I also bought 2 books at 70% off. Not perfect, but it could have been a whole lot worse!

Paper Princess: You did do fine. When books are on a really good sale, I think they are as hard as fabric to resist. Look at it this way, you helped that proprietor to liquidate her stock. Just doing your civic duty. Wish I had the strength to delete my e-mails before I read them; sales, sales everywhere. I keep hoping someone will buy the fabric I'm especially drawn to.

A full year!! I've made it a full year with almost no purchases!! I finished buying two BOMs this year and bought some fabric with a fair prize but I only got what the gift cert covered. I did buy 5 spools of Aurifil but only because the local fabric pusher had it on sale.

I'm going to go on a quilt retreat close to one of my favorite stores though. I'm also going to move to a 2 bedroom apt in the same building this month so there is that to consider too. Fabric gets real heavy, real fast.

Since I went to work full time I don't have as much time to sew but everything I have done has been totally from stash and a fair part has been just from the scrap stash. I've made 4 small wall hangings for my cube at work. I don't have pics of them though.
