Yes, I was on a fabric buying moratorium or as I called it, "diet" because I had spent $5000 on ACL surgery for my Rottie. But I will admit that I failed MISERABLY. I did quite well for a couple months. Then in the fall my favorite quilt store went out of business (Hayloft Fabrics) and I felt it was my duty to help them out. I haven't totalled my receipts for the year yet, but since I spent about $800 at Hayloft alone, I am sure my total will be in the couple thousand area. But I made 7 quilts and 40 pillowcases for charity giving just for Christmas alone, out of the stash. And through the year I did a good job of using my stash. Didn't make much of a dent, but figure it will come in very handy after the first of the year when I start rebuilding my quilt stash.
