Rff1010, no exemption needed now that we're finally in December! Officially our moratorium is from Jan 1 to Black Friday, so you're good. In these Covid times, local economies need cash influx. Good for you & the store!
as for a 2021 Moratorium, I plan to start a new one near New Year's Eve. Having a fabric moratorium on the board seems to be a tradition. Plus I've seen new people join, so I think it's a good idea to continue.

Even tho I seldom comment and never send pics I read everyone of these. I have ben using my stash for about 4 years now and buy only occasionally so I love this. Thanks for doing it. Will be watching.

I am not buying from Black Friday to January 1, either. I simply have too much fabric and that stuff is heavy. I see my house sinking into oblivion under the weight of fabric and books. That keeps me from purchasing anything I won't use immediately. I did buy a 1/4 yard this week, but it will be used as soon as it's washed.

Thank you, Conchalea, for hosting this year and volunteering for next year! You are a jewel!

See every one and many, many more in January!

Ouch, Synnove! Have fun going through the tubs with the ladies.
As I was out of blue, brown, and green blenders, I used my 40% off a day of fabric shopping at my LQS. I also used the $5 a yard coupon on a clearance piece. My total purchase was almost 29 yards. I like my fabric cut into 1.5 yard lengths so I cut them, serged the ends, washed, and dried all of the fabric. Now I need to wait for my JoAnn’s fabric order to be ready for pick up as I needed some solid fabrics (not grunge, tone-on-tone, etc) that my small LQS didn’t have in stock. I haven’t bought any fabric since early March and those were also blenders. I’m still way ahead in the use vs bought category.
