Congrats to all who are 'successful' with not buying fabrics. I'm doing well too (it helps that I don't go out shopping!). :)
I love when pictures are posted of projects using stash...it's so motivating. Keep it up - they're AWESOME!! |

Now that I've been over 6 weeks not buying any fabric I just don't feel the urge to go shopping, its like I feel I can make due with what I have...and I can.
Marie M. I love that pattern, is there a name????, I love challenging myself, with patterns that are outside the box |

I went to Joann's today for batting and only got that and needles. Didn't even look at the flannels that are on sale. Found backing for the 4 baby tops I have pieced from my stash. Actually for 2 of them I used a sheet. Got new sheets at Goodwill. Last week got one for $4, today they were 1/2 priced. Lots of good fabric for kids quilts in sheets.

Hi MarieM
I am so naughty, yes I bought the pattern, (don't tell DH) plus another. I have a box FULL of batiks so may start cutting into them to make this up. I love PPing takes the guess work out. I made my DH an Eagle wallhanging and it had over 600 pieces in it. |

Ok will do tomorrow afternoon, DH is due home any minute and I am busily cooking dinner (definitely not playing on the computer)
Will post in pictures so hope you find it. |
Well done to you all- I am trying to "shop at home" at the moment too- not just for fabric either- waaay too much "stuff" in this house, and very little need to go out buying more. I am finding things I did not even remember I had bought. And it is already mine!
Stay strong everyone. |
Hanging my head in shame. I was at the store yesterday to choose some fabric for the next IRR round (can't always get from my stash for these) . . . walked past the FQ bundles and oh, the polka dots . . . brought some home. My first slip.
Beginning again today. |
