About the Black Friday-New Year period: shouldn't we consider it a time when the wagon stops and we are allowed to get off it rather than consider the stash shopping "falling off"?
You are correct, in that the 'rules' state the moratorium only lasts until the 4th Thursday of November. In my mind, the main purpose of this thread is to make us more mindful of what & how much we buy. In my case, I bought exactly what was needed for the backing to a 2nd tee shirt quilt, when I could have added another 1/2 yard & then bought the bolt's remainder at a deep discount. I had no plans for that extra & I would only have to move it to my new house in a few weeks, so I resisted. That's the benefit of the moratorium to me. Only buy what I need so my stash doesn't grow out of control. I'm moving to a smaller house, so I can't afford the space a big stash will use.
