Ability to stop buying all the time?!?!.... oh that would be nice. I've been doing the "buy only as needed" thing since September or so, and I haven't yet come to that point.

Ok, I'm still on. I scratched my "go dye fabric!!!" itch by buying a packet of commercial dye for the washing machine and overdyeing two sets of pillowcases I'd accidentally washed together with a scarf that bled ugly grey streaks onto them. Lovely pure linen pillowcases, and I'm now so pleased I kept them, they turned out so well.

Finished my crossed canoes lap quilt I started last summer. I bought half of the fabrics for the blocks (plus half from stash). Made the blocks then put them aside. Started my fabric moratorium, then continued with the quilt just before Christmas. Borders and binding are from stash, back is flannel I purchased for it. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-94983-1.htm

Spoke to my mum and dad and they love the quilt tops I've been making for them, so I'll be buying a matching border fabric for the two of them, probably sometime next week. I have enough flannel for the backs (I think).

Currently finishing another door curtain that's been waiting on my shelf for, erm, months. Good thing this fabric moratorium, it's really encouraging me to finish stuff I want off my chest!
