BUDGET for fabric puchases?? Thar's a novel idea!! But I am trying hard to only use stash. One online group has/had a "100 yard dash". The object was to use 100 yards of your stash.
If 100 yards of fabric seems like a way-out number, go take a REALLY GOOD look at your stash. After I looked in two closets, a big dresser, the cutting table, and the bed in the extra bedroom I was really shocked!
