Doing well so far this month. So appreciative of this group, you are all really helping me stay aware of how much I am resisting and gradually changing my approach to buying!
Followed people's suggestion on here and filled an online shopping cart with some enticing dyes, discharges and such. Didn't buy. Had an email from Dharma Trading customer service a day later, politely enquiring why I hadn't completed my purchase, lol! I told them, Soon, once I'm ready to start actually working with the products. (Which is true.) Better on their shelves than mine, while I'm not doing anything with it yet!!!
Instead I played with making a 20'' chenille square, liked it enough to make it into a pillow. All from stash, including a piece of leftover batting. Will take and post pics in the next couple of days, once I manage to catch a sunny moment between clouds.
Been adding borders to a pair of quilts I'm making as gifts for my parents. Both centers are from my stash. I was planning to buy 4yds of fabric for borders, but then was inspired to play with my stash first and see... I've ended up with some inner borders I really love, and will only have to buy between 1.5 and 2.5yds now for outer borders.
Spent a couple of days cutting strings for a quilt from over 70 fabrics, all from my stash. About 7yds of fabric... yet I can't even see a dent in my greens! At least I know I have enough to border, back and bind this one. :)
Will need to buy batting for these three quilts... unless I have enough leftovers to piece a batting for one of them.
Sorry for the novel!!! Thanks for being here. :D
