Too funny, sadly but true.

Okay, so after a lot of self control and not so much self at times I did a purchase and took my birthday exception. Two yards of each, so that makes around 13 yards this year. Now that I put it that way, hummmmmmmmm seems like a lot. I almost ran out of the birthday month, but as you see I managed to fit it in.

Those are all beautiful fabrics Angelanne!

Thanks. I saw several I really liked, but stopped at this. Decent price, so at least I didn't spend a lot.

Anngleane, I love your fabric selection. I have 4 pieces of your yellow design, but in different colors.

Rryder, I'm so glad you put in the 2nd comment, that we can start new projects to have future UFO's, (comment #858). Otherwise, I don't think I would be able to start any new projects ever. LOL I have lots of UFO's. I have one that is over 30 years old. I need to finish that one. Next year project list.

Thanks Happy. I have been organizing my sewing room to be more orderly, now that I haven't been adding to my stash, till this. I am happy with my purchase. I do have that yellow design in another color, so thinking this will work well in top. My sewing has slowed down some as having trouble with the eyes but the good Lord will help take care of that in time. Just have to have faith and patience.

I went to my guild meeting yesterday. They were selling fabric 1/2 price at our guild meeting. So I bought f-q batik for 75 cents each. I bought what they had 6 pieces. I also bought a 5" package for $2.50 (I should have bought more. I plan to make a charity quilt from the 5" fabric to donate to the guild. Next few weeks projects.

Happy sewing everyone.

Since we like pics. Here's a pic of my above mentioned fabric purchases, less than $11.00. Right bottom is the 5"charms squares, bottom rights the 5 out of 6 f-q batiks, and the back half is free fabric that was donated to the guild which I will make charity quilt tops from.

Oh Wow! Happylab, that's quite a haul!

And, Yes, I'm a firm believer in beginning new projects so that I can have future UFO's LOL!

Oh, and I also just bought 1 yard of 108" wide backing fabric at MSQ--but it was only because I needed that fabric for a quilt (future UFO) that I've just started. I was going to use only stash and things were going nicely when I realized that I didn't have enough of that particular fabric. Fortunately MSQ still had some in stock as it seems to be out of stock everywhere else I looked. I'm pleased to say that nothing else jumped into my cart though I did spend lots of extra time looking at all kinds of neat thread and fabric....

Yesterday, I was quilting some UFO's and discovered the stitch in the ditch was too obvious on solid fabric. The thread needed to match better. So I stopped on the way home and bought thread....was that $$$$$ or what. The large spools last f o r e v e r, but still. Connecting Threads didn't have the colors needed. I've been doing better, for me, then this made me feel defeated..... Need opinions.
