I survived the Stash Bash sew in at my LQS on Friday. I only bought 1/2 yard of fabric, but that was for a project I was working on that night and didn't like my original choice for the binding so had to go with a different color. I do not regret that decission....I thought about putting the project aside and working of another project I brought for the night and just pull from my stash at home but I really happy I didn't. I was trying to match a purple in one of the fabrics for a binding and never knew how many shades of purple there was till I tried matching the color in the focus fabric. Other than the 1/2 yard of fabric I purchased a spool of thread to match the fabric I just purchased and some new bobbins for my machine. All in all I walked out for the night under $20.
