(I just wish Kaufman hadn't raised their prices. But that's a whole other issue!)

The last great metalic series Hoffman had was the "Kasmir" collection. I was unable to resist this collection.

I'm trying to behave a bit and have been good. When I do buy fabric (usually a sale I can't resist) it's blenders, white/neutrals, and some batiks. Something that I can work into my other fabrics.

Just received in $2.49 a yard polar bear, manitee, shark and penguin Timeless Treasures fabric from Fabric.com . I also recieved in the army fabric that I ordered from them. Originally I was going to only order the army fabric but when I saw the animal prints, some my favorites on clearance, well I had to order some for backing. I plan to make gift quilts from these fabrics using the animal print for backing.

I love retro prints and have bought a few lately. I am refinishing my grandparent's dresser that has been in my basement for five years. When I emptied it to strip the drawers, guess what I found? More fabric (two huge drawers full) that I had stashed there when I moved into this house five years ago. I think I will remain on a diet till I make some of it disappear.

I do a batik wallhanging for gifts and chairity auctions and occasionally add to that stash since the design uses the same color and type of fabric. Rather like adding yeast to the sourdough or however dourdough is made.
I did pick up 50 yds of assorted seconds yesterday which will do good for crib qult backings.
Otherwise, I try and buy only for a project.
