2015 Fabric Moratorium
#1131
I did too! Did I read somewhere that we get a birthday exemption? Mine is Monday (67th!) and I've been given a $50.00 check, and CT's minimum order for free shipping is $50.00, and I love jewel colours, and well..... just well..... Did you notice that their Lover's Knot quilt kit ends up being less than the cost of buying yardage ($5.74 vs $5.96), and it includes a free pattern? That is a great deal.

OK, so I ask for help and you all tell me that it probably won't last long. That tipped me over the edge. I was also hungry and I had a few glasses of wine when I said "to hell with it!" AND placed the order. Now I am here to confess that I had an EPIC fall off the wagon. Don't you just love it when you can blame anyone but your own lack of impulse control for bad behavior? lol

MadQuilter -- you are tipping me over the edge as well. So far my CT shopping basket is at $87.00. I need to reduce it to $50.00 so I can use just the birthday money. But the Kaleidoscope line is so gorgeous. How can I do that? And CT is infamous for not keeping a line of fabric very long. And this one is just gorgeous. Arghh!!!

I am still on the wagon, clinging by my fingertips but on that dratted wagon. DH birthday is coming up and have something planned and can't fall off yet. Whens my birthday sigh~

It is gorgeous, but you'd feel better if you stuck with your b'day $ limit. You know you would. How about just picking a favorite or two from the line? Be strong!

I have resisted the CT temptation but have made some purchases. I am making various table runners, stockings and tree skirts for my kids and families. Purchased yardage for all the projects. I hope this falls under the dispensation rules.

I'm glad I don' know anything about CT.
I got some end of bolts from the sale rack for the cat BOM at my craft club. Also 4 fat quarters same color scheme for the same reason So that was all good.
I got the fabric for the christmas placemat exchange as well. the backing I got on the sale rack. So I'm watching the budget even if I am way over on spending.

As long as no one comes up with a quilt pattern that I can't resist I think I should be good through the new year. (famous last words!)
