I have been good this month and only purchased a couple items to finish two UFO. However, next week is the Ohio One Stop Shop Hop so no promises! LOL I will try to be strong!

Missgiggle...I don't consider fabric purchases for something you plan to use soon...falling off the wagon. So as far as I am concerned you did well. Do we get a picture of fabric or if not..how about one of completed items...pretty please?
KrisB... I say the same goes for you ..if it is for the current BOM...you aren't guilty at all. Once again...do we get a pic of fabric?
Everyone else is doing so well...Emma..only 10 more days in April. Looks like you are going to be successful. :-) I finished my cat quilt binding yesterday with two weeks to spare so feel like I can jump into conversations a bit more now!

I think we're all doing really well here. Trouble is, now I need a place that puts the brakes on spending my fabric money in other areas! HA! But it's nice to use the stash. Today I cut fabric that had 2007 printed on the selvedge, and it's some of my newer fabric. AI YAI YAI!

in early to mid April I bought the end of a bolt of kona type fabric for $2,75/yd. I have since been told by my shopping companion that I was doing horribly on the fabric moratorium because I bought 4 yds of fabric fofr her, and 2 baggies of blk and white fabric scraps for me. I feel differently, obviously, but chose not to argue. so.... if anyone feels I need absolution for my spendthrift ways, I will gladly accept all the pardoning you wish to dole out. but frankly, scarlet...... lol

I got 3 panels in for Round Robins and I have all the fabric colors to work on them in my stash. WHOOHOO!

Nancia: Your Queen of justification, even though your position is well stated, I'd rather hear the well reasoned case for the purchase.

Well, ahhh, hmmmm, this month is about done isn't it. Good. I'm looking forward to the end of May and saying that I didn't buy any fabric. That's my story and I'm not saying more.....for a while.

Emma S 04-24-2014 09:02 AM

Oh Rhonda, me too. Lets take a vow of silence. Move on to May, nothing to see here folks.

DH brings the mail in every day and when there is a catalog for me he always teases me with it. This time I was strong: JoAnn flyer - recycle! Nancy's Notions - recycle! Keepsake Quilting - recycle! Of course now I feel like I am being deprived.
