As the year comes to a end I can say, without a doubt, I have been successful in not buying fabric like I usually do. I purchased only 2 pieces of fabric all year. Now that compares to a minimum of at least 50 cuts a year. The 2 cuts I needed were for the finish of 2 different quilts that were gifts. I hope I can do this well next year. It has been fun working from my stash this year. I reminded me of the many reasons I purchased some of these fabrics. It also helped to recall I had a goal this year that was special. I was making hundreds of mask! The mask making has slowed down but I am still making at least 5 a week. More specialized in fabric choices. It is still nice to see doctors and other staff wearing the mask I made.
So 2020 has been a gain for me. I spent less money, I thinned down my stash here and there and I had some beautiful quilts pop out of my stash. My favorite is on my bed now and is being much loved all because of the moratorium.
