Well, I bought one panel of Maxine fabric and that's all I bought in December, except for a new thread snip that I desperately needed. (Think my old one got too close to the trash can and disappeared and trash was gone before I discovered it).I guess thread snips are allowed, so I think I did pretty good. Have a huge stash though so will be working on luggage tags for my son-in-law for a trip to India in late January.
