Oh man, I just resisted a tough one! Connecting Threads sent me an email for a yardage sale. Fibs and Fables, a line I've been wanting forever, was 40% off. I found a pattern I loved. I started building the cart with all the yardage I would need, and seeking out FQs from prints CT doesn't have in that line. The project cost went up and up. I had to accept I couldn't actually afford it, and I didn't need to add to the piles of projects.
For my birthday, I'll treat myself to one quilt's worth of a nice fabric line. By then I'll have a better idea of what I'd like best. This week, I may still treat myself to the
pattern. It would look great in some large scale prints I already have stashed. And some Aurifil thread, too, since I'd love to try it and need more piecing thread anyway.
I've also been holding up with resisting big box fabric. No matter how cute the print or low the price, that papery stiff texture never washes out. Better to save up for the good stuff.
