Shows and Expos are hard Altairss. Sounds like you didn't fall too far at least as it seems you got most things your stash was lacking.
That's a good idea to tell myself when I'm tempted petthefabric. And if that doesn"t work maybe I can always picture stacks of fabric falling on me or something similar for my moments of weakness.
Have fun happylab. Sounds like you've been very busy.
I'm plugging along on my DWR and am enjoying the way the colors are playing with each other. So I don't get too bored
I'm working on a few UFOs at the same time. Sooner or later something is bound to get done.
Also trying a new technique for sandwiching quilts that's looking very promising. A little closer to spray basting but with elmer's glue. I'm combining several ideas from online to see if I can get it close enough. Always had trouble with drizzling the glue. Love the spray basting except for the chemicals even with windows and doors open it lingers.
