My fabric moratorium is for 2012. Purchases only to finish projects, BOM in progress and for block swaps. I have plenty of PIGS and UFOs and a now huge collection of Asian fabrics bought just this year.

I did buy fabric, but I'm so proud of how little I purchased, even when I went to Houston. Now if I can just stop buying the gadgets.

Now I have to put myself on a Vintage sewing machine moratorium, I have run out of room to put anymore.
I, too, bought lots of fabric at thrift stores this year. One dollar a yard and I couldn't resist. I don't feel to guilty! |
I was good for the first six months of the year and after that I don't know what happened. I just couldn't resist a bargain and/or free shipping. Nevermind, as I've now retired from the workforce and my income has decreased considerably so those purchases are now sound investments for my future quilting projects. :)

Bought very little fabric. Concentrated on trying to finish wips and ufos. Will continue doing so in 2012 until caught up.

i didnt do as well as id hoped for 1 thing i didnt get on the bandwagon til may ?? not exactly sure when i started. i also am in the process of making a quilt for a person who picked out theyre own specific colors i bought all the fabric for that one. as he picked colors i dont buy much of. i did buy fabric for 1 baby quilt as we had a surprise gift in our family this year. other than that i only bought backings for whatever i finished, which i knew id have to do because when i buy fabric for my stash its seldom more than a yard or 2 of any particular kind and im not good at piecing backs i have enough problems piecing the fronts lol. i plan to try again this year and be sterner and do better. well see how that goes were planning a trip in may to michigan which ive never been and were driving so....... well see.
