Count me in. I'm getting older and have had a couple of health scares so I have to do this.

Nice to know that when every brick and mortar shop closes...no one will notice. ��

??? I don’t understand your comment.
i would very much miss my LQS if it closed, and when we travel my hubby & I both enjoy visiting shops we’ve never been to before. Some of them are down right magical.

Thinking about your comment...are you referring to our moratorium? Just because we are using our stash doesn’t mean we still won’t support our LQS— the moratorium is to not buy just to stuff our shelves ( add to our stash) we still purchase what we need, we just don’t buy for the sake of buying.

I’m in. My stash is actually noticeably smaller than it was 2 years ago even though there have been several drive by fabric drop offs that needed to be added to my stash in the last couple of years. Now when I visit my LQS I go through their remnant bins with a list in my hand that shows what kinds of fabrics I am running low on and that are “staples” that can be used in a variety of projects- these are usually neutrals and lights since my stash still has lots of darks and medium value brights. I like scrappy, so By shopping the remnant bins, I can walk out of my LQS with 10 or more different fabrics and still have added as little as 1 and 1/4 yds to my stash. I still don’t fabric shop only to get fabrics for a specific project since my creative process doesn’t work that way, but I do shop with knowledge of what is currently in my stash and what things I use a lot of that need to be replenished.

Of course, I do fall off the wagon at times...LOL

I am "in" for 2018. I think I'm off to a good start....I am not even participating in my usual "Saturday Sampler" for the year. I have so many quilts to complete......and so much fabric in my stash......I am determined to join the moratorium. I am ready, willing and able! Good luck to us all......we can do it together!!

I'm thinking of following "so scrappy" and her monthly rainbow scrap challenge. This will help get rid of some of those fabrics!

Oksewglad: Thanks for the link to So Scrappy. I was trying to find her link a few weeks ago. I knew what I was looking for but obviously didn’t put in the right words. Lol! I subscribed so I can follow along and do the blocks.
