Darcy Shannon, your purchase qualifies for the “travel exemption!” Plus, if you already have plans to use it in a current project, it wasn’t purchased to place in your stash. So you’re fine & haven’t technically fallen off the fabric moratorium wagon.

My wonderful quilting mentor is moving to the southern end of the state to a smaller place with her family. I am so fortunate in that she is gifting me Huge HUGE boxes of fabric. I will never shop again!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to you Battle Axe... All that fabric and you didn't even fall off the moratorium wagon!! Enjoy!!

Oh goodness....quite the haul, Battle Axe!!! That is awesome and so generous of her. Sad for you both that she's moving away, though. I see FaceTime and visits in your future...

Well, I jumped off the moratorium train last weekend & ordered a kit from Craftsy. It’s the Quiltworx pattern Cactus Flower with fabric to make a table runner. It was just under half price & even with tax & shipping cost $50.50. On the Quiltworx site the pattern alone is $28.50! The kit has 5 different batik fabrics, in colors I might not have chosen to put together. So I’m moving out of my comfort zone with this one. It isn’t going into stash-I’ll start it after I complete the two quilts that need quilting & binding. So I’m climbing back aboard.

I'm heading back to Idaho Sunday and the land of some of my fav LQS. I have nothing on my list to buy but I'm stopping in anyway...lol!! I may pick up their 2018 RBR's..... I love the theme this year and a music quilt is on my bucket list.... Excemption city!!! Woohoo!

Conchalea...I'm going to look up that pattern...curious about colorway of that kit with your comments. For shame, tho!!! Tsk tsk... Drop and give me 20...

Teen, I’m claiming a delayed travel exemption! I took a 1400 mile ride to northeast Texas April 28-May 4. I didn’t buy any fabric AT ALL (no room on the motorcycle!) so I’m using that exemption now.

I bought 16.5 yards of fabric today from a quilt store in central Minnesota. They had a special buy for the MN Guild quilt show. Buy 2 yards, get 1 free. I saved $10 on that deal! I also bought 2 fabrics of 6 yards each that were 50% off. I am claiming an exemption because it was tied into the quilt show which I attended for the first time and I am 80 miles from home.
