Hi everyone!!

Well, I'm still doing good for no-buying-fabric. So far this year, I had a splurge in February (Foust Textiles' "open to the public" day) and back in September when my longarm guild met. So, not really bad at all.

The other day, all the Black Friday emails were singing their siren song... so I went digging through my stash, just to remind myself exactly Why I joined this thread. Whew!! Crisis averted!!
Except... the backing fabric I had bought in September for my Lone Star quilt was not as good of quality as I originally thought... somewhat sheer... And... I found a flaw in the weave that repeats every 18 inches!! So, I had to order some new fabric for this. Maybe it falls under the "Have to have to finish" or perhaps my birthday exemption (last Sunday).
Anyway, I'm seriously bummed now, as I was all hyped up to get the LS loaded. I'm planning on entering it in MQX in the spring.

So... I'll work on one of the Many UFO's I have... which should at least get me back on board on the UFO thread!
