Everyone - except the favored 1% are feeling it - time to make use of your stash, trade, sell or bargain for future reference - quilt exhibitions are reflecting the recession too - 3 local shows all had fewer quilts to exhibit, even the trade sales tables are feeling the pinch. I haven't bought anything for about a year, tackling the UFOs instead and was totally seduced by some dragonfly and stonehenge jellyrolls and bought 1 of each + a great red to put with them for a shot of colour. I'm going to use the end to end miles long strip pattern shown on QB a few months ago. Have to summon up the courage to begin - I always find that hard.
