Thanks, ibex94, for the promotional announcement. Those who are interested go to the
2023 Birthday Candy Swap Although today was the deadline, new swappers will be accepted until January 30. It is a good way to reduce and supplement your stash with something new but without any trips to a quilt shop.
I have been following the Fabric Moratorium since at least 2019 and it has made a BIG difference by making me more focused on my attempts to reduce my stash. I only purchase for what is NEEDED, such as backing or a small cut to compliment the other colors I am using in a quilt. I'll admit it was a bit painful at first but now it seems second nature. I did allow myself to purchase all the fabric for a quilt top this fall and it was refreshing but it has been at least 4 years since I did that.
I have one on my wall at the moment that is all from stash. Hope to have the top finished by tomorrow night! I am looking forward to lots of photos of empty bins, boxes, totes and bags.
