Wish I could say I've done well....4th day of March and after visiting my employment agent stopped to buy a zip and some thread...passed by the quilting fabric but succumbed to 5 metres of tapestry fabric for couch quilts reduced from $12.00 to $5.00 per metre - I do need to have extras for winter but felt a bit guilty in view of the "moratorium".

Earthwalker: Sometimes you just have to make exceptions. If it's something you will need anyway and to be able to save a bit of change, it's really hard to pass those wonderful sale prices. Oh, the understanding is strong.

Thank you....I just washed it and hung it out to dry....I do feel a bit better about it. It is a necessary purchase and by having more couch quilts in the rotation, will save using the dryer in winter. Electricity is very expensive here.

I agree Earthwalker if its a necessity then that's your exception.. It gets cold here too and sometimes we need to layer on a bit more to keep the escalating heating costs down... IM grateful for our roaring fireplace that keeps us cozy (sometimes HOT) at 72 ( upto 80 at times) but ill take it over freezing any day.. !!!


Keep up the good work everyone.. STAY ON GOAL !!!!

WE CAN DO IT - WE CAN DI IT - WE CAN DO IT !!!

Oh-oh, we are going to Vegas this weekend and DH has already printed directions to the Christmas Goose "in case I find something I can't live without." I swear, he is the worst enabler. I do need to buy a FQ in black and yellow for a swap as I have NOTHING in those colors.

Martina: Seems to me he's happy when he's making you happy. Seems like a win, win to me.

OK i almost fell off the wagon.. Im swapping Batiks this month and was only going to swap two sets BUT i saw how beautiful the rest were that came in and i broke down..... I want ONE OF EACH !!!!

but i managed to scour my stash and found four more yards i could use.. whew.. that was close !!!

Still holding my ground.. NO FABRIC buyin in 2014 !!!

I have a new computer and haven't disabled pop ups yet Guess hat my pop up of the day is? Connecting Threads pretty red fabrics - the blue, too, but my eyes go to the reds. Limited time?? I wish they'd hurry and sell out.

I did buy the CT reds, Irishrose. Well, a couple of them. In 2013 I bought reds with white to do a red/white quilt I'd seen here on QB. BUT I couldn't find the whites with red so easily. The CT finished out what I needed. So now to get my UFOs done and move on to the reds...they are really nice quality if that helps you with your decision! :-)

We just got back from Vegas and I couldn't wait to report in: I didn't buy a single piece of fabric for myself. Did get some pressies and some FQs for the swap. The only think I bought for myself was a purse pattern.
