Yesterday I had the happy accident of getting “lost” on the wrong side of the Baltimore beltway on a beautiful sunny day. With nothing pressing on my schedule, I went for a joy ride to Hobby Lobby and then to a new-to-me quilt shop.
In both stores, I kept my wits about me and bought only what I need for immediate projects. Flannel backing. That’s it. Two yards for two baby quilts and two for my throw on the design wall waiting fir backing.
This moratorium thread has been a great influence on my thinking. I like the feeling of being strong enough to say “no” to impulsive buys on pretty fabric in favor of saying “yes” to what I need to finish my current project.
