It's been one year today since I bought any stash fabric.
I did have to buy a 1/2 yd to finish a quilt but since I used it all up immediately I don't count it.
I've donated 1/3 of my stash to a church group, and I've used up some yardage on my own during the year. I figure it'll be another 2 years before my stash is gone. Never again! I'll buy as needed only.

Well done. It is so hard to give up the addiction. Fortunately, I have very limited storage space so nowadays can only replace what I have used. It is very good discipline, but oh the urges to buy that cute fabric just because I might use it someday!!!!

Congrats. I like my stash. Sometimes, I just need to touch, look at, surround myself with fabric. I want to keep mine.......

Congratulations. I'm working on my stash, too, but can't say I've resisted some of the new designs.

I love your avatar. I just got that same machine from my mother. Do you know what year it is? Do you use yours for quilting. I have played with mine some but when I have time want to sit down and use it for awhile. It works great. the manuel has a few pages missing
