I am really trying to not purchase anything. the majority of the quilts I make are for charity or to give to someone I know who is in need, perhaps they are ill or have had a tragedy in their life and a quilt can provide comfort. I have pretty much vowed that I will ask friends first if they may have what I need instead of heading to Fabric Depot or LQS. there have been many kind board members who have sent me their UFO's and orphan blocks. I love working with them and so far have pretty much had what I needed to complete them.
