I think this is a worthy goal. I love fabric, and have so much, but always see something new and want that, too. I have been trying, really trying. Still have to buy backing and binding sometimes, but sure trying to use from my mountainous stash!
|
That's my goal for this year. I already finished one quilt totally from stash. And I was able to pull almost everything for Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt from stash. Just needed to buy one yard. I thought that would be OK to make it work. Also, just today I cut out another quilt from stash. Wouldn't you say I'm off to a pretty good start?

I am going to join, and I will really give it my best try..... But if I fail, be kind to me!!!!!

I am in with all of you. I really, really need to finish some of the things I have begun plus use up what I have so I will try and post my progress as the year progresses....2013...that is. If we all stick together...:-)

2013..well, I guess that gives me a month to get prepared. Like all of you, I really need to use up some of my stash. I think that I can do this if I can at least buy a little to finish up a project. But dang, I LOVE FABRIC!!! And I'm always afraid that if I don't buy what I love it will be gone and I'll never get it. This is a sickness!!! But I'm in...if we all band together we can do this. Fabriholics Anonymous..that's us. Please help keep me on track!

I know that I NEED a break from fabric shopping!! I am a fabric junkie/hoarder!!! This would def keep me in check.
I also told him that I thought that maybe I'd keep a jar(like a swear jar) and when I wanted to buy fabric I'd put that $$ into the jar. Like if this fabric was $10/yd and I wanted a yd, I'd put $10 in the jar. Then at the end of the moratorium I could see what I've saved and buy something like a new machine or some tool/book I've been wanting! Who knows? Okay, sign me up!!! Tanya |

Princess, I'm with you!! I have so much that I could probably open up my own LQS!!! Time to sew faster and shop less!

Great idea, keep us honest:) I've been working on using my stash for the past year or so. My goal is to always purchase purchase by the project when I get my stash cleared out. I recently started a strip QAYG - 10 1/2 inch blocks. I have my scraps down to half and have enough blocks for a pretty good sized quilt. I don't have any more backing fabric I'm willing to part with now so it is big enough. I did have to go get some black cotton- on sale- for sashing. I'm working on quite a few UFO's so don't plan on starting anything new in 2013 unless I use stash.
