The rules are simple: No new fabric purchases until November 2012.
You can buy:
batting
backing and/or binding
fabric - if NOTHING in you stash will work. (Consider trading with a friend)
thread and notions
fabric purchased on a plan (example - block of the month)
Some can do variations such as only 3 months, or a GREAT sale.
Anyone can join.
Come on and clear out some of that stash and make room for great new fabrics next year.

I am only buying the 4 B's...backing, batting, background, border. I may also buy some fabric if I need 1 yard or less to go with stash fabrics to finish a project. I have been using this method for over a year now.

Already started this! My husband and I painted my studio after Christmas and in the rearranging I found fabric I forgot I had! And I had a scrap bin that I could not get the lid on! So, Not only do I have to use my stash, I have to use my scraps as well! But I know I will by batting and backing fabric!

my first goal is to organize my sewing room, so I can SEE what I have. I'm halfway there, I'm going to try to finish the fabric today, just having it all out on the table, to fold it onto the cards, tells me I will have to do this at 2 years to get it down to a manageable quantity lol, will post pics tonight after I finish

I'M IN!!!
I just made a list of my fabrics and projects. Way too many!
This time I think I'm really ready for this challenge cause I'm not that excited about the new fabric I see but I am excited about all the projects on my list.
