2018 Fabric Moratorium
#321
You guys are doing great....and welcome, Conchalea! Looking forward to seeing your runner. It will be special coming from mom"s stash. I finished the mystery scrappy and only had to purchase the black border since I didn't have that in stash...land the black fabric purchase was a travel exception. Suppose to rain this week, thank goodness, so I'm holding off on going LQS till later in the week. I will do as oksewglad suggests and only purchase the WOW. I've been busy making the blocks for the Sylvia Bridal Sampler...I've made 40 out of 140 blocks so far. And, I'm having a blast so not bored yet. Gonna keep going before I start another project but I've got. QOV I need to do so may start cutting that up. It's another panel quilt using the panel I bought at Road to Calif.

Welcome, Conchalea...The point is to use the fabric we have...not so much as to quit buying fabric.

A lady at Sew Group had a piece her mother bought. She died 40+ yrs ago. It was marked $.97 and was about 2 yr. and the stores been closed ~50 yrs.
Another lady said a sewer who can no longer sew, gave her stash to this lady. If filled tables in the fellowship hall for a sale day.
Serious stash.

Today, cut strips for 6 rail fence charity quilts + backs. That's 15 yds. Today, after I get some sleep (it's 1:23am) I'll sew the strip sets. Then Thursday cut and sew the squares at another Sew Group.
Rob: sewing those 1/day charity quilts in groups. But I'm making progress on the stash. Today I saw another pattern that would use up pieces smaller than 1/2 yd. This is very good.

Thank you for the welcome! I plan to work on the runner today, plus complete a second pillow from more of my mom’s stash. Those are her UFOs so I will post them on the 2018 UFO Challenge thread when I complete them.

Petthefabric, what pattern did you find? I have many short lengths of fabric I’d like to put to a good use.

Rob, I have a Sweet 16 and finally got back to working with her. The only thing I don't like is that the machine sits lower than the table which makes ruler work bumpy. I actually bought the table overlay that they upsell. Don't know if HQ has fixed that with their line yet - they did with the Baby Lock Tiara. Just something to think about. I also bought the stitch regulator and would not spend that money now. The machine is so easy to use.
