Welcome LindaJane! You sound like one of us fabricholics taking it one day at a time! These people here are very understanding and will encourage you to stay on the wagon. You're doing a super job stash-busting already. And, another Moritorium starts after Christmas. I'm signing up. I need all the help I can get!

Welcome LindaJane!
I get a birthday exemption this month and may use my birthday 20% off coupon at the LQS on Friday. I don't need anything specific but I may buy a book panel for a friend's future grand baby. The LQS has 40% off lots of items on Small Business day the Saturday after Black Friday so I may check that out as well. I do need a new bottle of Best Press. It could be a costly month if I add fabric to that discount.

Actually doing this is quite hard. I have found great deals on Moda grunge and have bought for backings and backgrounds for my scrap quilts. However, I am getting ready to make some projects from my stash and will post. Thanks for the inspiration.

The elephant fabric was from Hancocks of Paducah. The pig fabric was from a shop in Forest City Iowa the Quilted Forest. I have two yards as if I am remembering correctly you had to buy two yards to get a special price.

Since everyone likes pic. I’m posting pic of me falling off the wagon. My batiks for BHMQ “Good Fortune.” [ATTACH=CONFIG]603701[/ATTACH] I guess I could use my birthday and soon future project use. But I also bought other batik fabric. A total of 4 yards for another project. I did go through my stash and scraps last month and didn’t like or have enough fabric of each color for this mystery, so off to LQS I went. Plus there was a shop hop going on this weekend. So now Back to being on the fence again. Happy stash and scrap shopping at home everyone.

Lovely fabrics. I have a couple of them and need 1/4 yard of the light one. I have a Spicy Spiral table runner to make soon.
