I ordered my copy from Quiltandsewshop.com. I did not subscribe to the magazine. Total price was $8.98 including postage. Now I am looking for Mar/Apr. It was not at Joannes today. Aaargh. But my DD, AKA chief enabler, pursuaded me to by some fabric for another OBW. I would have never chosen the colors but she said it was time to step out of my color comfort zone for once. But I promise that I will not think OBW until my Orca Bay Mystery and McCalls Mystery quilt tops are done. I fell off the 2012 Fabric Moratorium big time. But it wasn't the Devil who made me do it, it was my DD. Not my fault, right? :eek:

I'm excited. March/April issue arrived yesterday in the mail. But it will a day or twwo before I can begin part 2.

Ohh if yours came in the mail, and I subscribed just 2 weeks ago, I think I better go and buy the next issue. Walmart, here I come as Joann's did't have it on the stands yet.

I agree with Sharon, if it wasn't your idea in the 1st place, it doesn't count. Me on the other hand.. hum, I think I am at $200 and counting so far this year . . Resolutions are like diets.. they are made to be broken!
