Or did you draw upon what was already in your stash for your holiday projects in 2010?

tomilu 12-29-2010 10:26 AM

I did both!!

erstan947 12-29-2010 10:27 AM

I did both. Bought more this year than most years.

Not an inch!!!

Jim's Gem 12-29-2010 10:31 AM

Only bought 3 yards, and didn't even use them. I used the old stuff that I've had in my stash about 10 years.

Katrine 12-29-2010 10:38 AM

I like to add a yard or two from new collections - mostly golds and silvers. Have quite a few blues now too. And anything else which appeals! This year I used some I'd had for 4 or 5 years because I found the "right" project for them.

I just got back from the LQS and while I bought a bit of fabric I was disappointed it was only 25% off. I was thinking "gee, should have gone to Joanne's or Hancock Fabrics" But I was already there... i only bought a little. 2 yards of one fabric and a panel that I thought was cute.

I drew on my stash this year but just bought more for next year!

Jeanniejo 12-29-2010 11:01 AM

I did both !

What a silly question! OF COURSE, I bought Christmas fabric! But I also used a lot of what I already had. It's a thrill when you can make a whole new quilt (wall hanging, table runner, etc.) w/o even getting in the car!

sueisallaboutquilts 12-29-2010 11:15 AM

I didn't buy any or use what I had. Not a good quilting holiday season for me! lol

Vicki W 12-29-2010 11:21 AM

I bought just a little, can't pass up the cute new fabrics. They look like they need a home.

mollymct 12-29-2010 11:21 AM

I also did not buy or use any. No holiday-related projects this year!

Murphy 12-29-2010 11:36 AM

Both

ann clare 12-29-2010 11:48 AM

Used what I had in stock.

I actually behaved myself and didn't buy any new Xmas fabrics at all this year... In fact, I'm not going to go buy any now even though they are all on sale... although I could really go for more light blue with snowflake fabrics... that makes such great sky material for picture wall quilts :)

cjomomma 12-29-2010 11:52 AM

I didn't buy any new Christmas fabric until after Christmas when it went sale at 50% off. I do this every year.

TN Donna 12-29-2010 12:07 PM

I bought two panels. One was for my tree skirt and the other was a panel for stockings. I used it all up.

craftyone27 12-29-2010 12:11 PM

Am hoping to head to my LQS today or tomorrow to see what is left. I got an email saying it was 50% off - so it may be pickedover by now. It really amazed me how little Christmas fabric they had a my local JoAnn's this year. They had less than half the stock they have had in previous years. So no point in going there for a good sale- there was little to choose from even before Christmas!

Cyn 12-29-2010 12:15 PM

Both :)

Carrie Jo 12-29-2010 12:25 PM

I bought some.. but I already have alot.

Snorky Lvs2Quilt 12-29-2010 12:25 PM

Both!

cherylynne 12-29-2010 01:02 PM

I bought some new prints and some solids to go with the prints from other years. I made several tablerunners this year. The Christmas fabric is still sitting there now because I want to work on some holiday projects for 2011. I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted to do because we went to Florida to visit elderly MIL right before Christmas.

Juliebelle 12-29-2010 01:20 PM

I did both

CarrieAnne 12-29-2010 01:21 PM

I bought a little, not as much as usual. Bought some from the classifieds here too.

Tussymussy 12-29-2010 01:23 PM

Both. I bought some more pretty fabrics in metre lengths so that I am organised and will be able to make an early start on 2011!

Beachbound 12-29-2010 01:25 PM

I bought early in the year for a Christmas quilt. I wanted to buy at JoAnns this week (70% off) but they only had 1 laly cutting & a long line. Since I didn't 'need' it, I passed.

SuziC 12-29-2010 01:33 PM

I bought new Christmas fabric and used every bit of it for gifts this year

donac 12-29-2010 02:08 PM

I was going to buy some on sale on sunday but the snowstorm got in the way.

kriscraft99 12-29-2010 02:24 PM

I did both - :)

jaciqltznok 12-29-2010 02:33 PM

I bought some of last years at a reduced price, and some of this years that goes in the same line of Basic Grey for Moda!

FranW 12-29-2010 02:37 PM

Used all stash.

pumpkin12 12-29-2010 03:03 PM

Yes! I bought Christmas fabric today at 50% off at my LQS for next year's projects/gifts. Had I known about the increase in cotton prices coming soon, I would have bought more!

sewwhat85 12-29-2010 03:32 PM

i am looking to buy some on sale now

oatw13 12-29-2010 03:35 PM

I think I bought 2 - one yard cuts. I haven't done anything with them yet, though.

cwessel47 12-29-2010 03:57 PM

No. Used some stuff I've had since the 80's for little things. I know that I should buy some during the big after-Christmas sales - but I doubt I will. 2 years of unemployment will do that to you.

SherriB 12-29-2010 04:00 PM

I had very little Christmas fabrics and bought some on sale from Hobby Lobby. I made curtains for my kitchen out of it.

craftyone27 12-29-2010 05:46 PM

Made it to one LQS today and was shocked to find only about 10 bolts of not very appealing fabrics at only 14% off. I walked righ tout the door. Went to the other end of town on errands and stopped at my usual LQS and got 4 lovely yards of fabric for $20. I keep looking at it and wondering why I didn't buy more, as I still had a bit of cash left. Hmm...maybe I will go back tomorrow and buy another yard or 2 of my favorites.

grammyp 12-29-2010 05:48 PM

I did not buy even one inch of Christmas fabric this year. Didn't have to. I hit the sales after Christmas last year and still have more than enough.
