Oh I love seeing the awesome work you all have done and the inspiration for more. Just lovely. Such kindness is offered here!!! I spent a couple of hours at Joanne's yesterday. My husband dropped me off at the store while he went to buy some fish tying products. When he picked me up I didn't have a single bag in hand. Nothing. I kept thinking about what I had at home that I really could use and might even like better. I felt somewhat free! What a fun experience!

Although the red ones didn't take up too much fabric, they were made from stash. Unfortunately, for the table runner I needed to match the border and 3 yards later...I needed about one...it was finished...all are donations for a school fundraiser.

OK, 3 lovelies. Your runner speaks of spring, your hearts just in time for Valentines Day (love the little hearts) and a cute 3 girl wall hanger. Love all of them.

Those cuties turned out nice. I helped my BFF sandwich her quilt today. She did all the quilting. Then we trimmed (showed her how and let her finish) and then she got the binding on one side. Not bad for a day's work tutoring. Every time she trimmed off a large piece she giggled and showed me "stash" - I just grinned coz I KNOW where this will lead.

Ok those quilts are adorable.
Paper Princess at 50% off I think 6 yards is restraining yourself especially since you were "persuaded" to go. Lol
Good job Rhonda on spending two hours in Joann"s and not purchasing any fabric! I went there this week as well and didn't buy anything. Was patting myself on the back that I resisted temptation but I was only there forty five minutes.
And Martina one day she'll look around and go I have way too much "stash" even though new fabrics call her name while she's walking by... Future Moratorium member in the making.

Love those, OKSewGlad!
I bought batting and thread yesterday. I am trying to finish a quilt and can't find a backing fabric I like in my stash. May have to make my first fabric purchase for the year if I can't find something I like. This quilt is special, so I want the right fabric.

Thanks! I forgot backing doesn't count. I have gone through my stuff twice. I am pretty sure I am hitting a shop tomorrow. I am getting excited to see this one come together!
