While I've had some hiccups along the way. I know from last year my fabric buying is considerably less. Thanks to all of you guys and feeling like I have to confess here. I am improving and stopping and thinking if I really need a fabric rather than just want it. So though I've fallen off some - it's a huge improvement from the past few years.

I'm shopping my stash first and it is still growing. Is that because I'm just getting started?
I mean there was leftover material from the top we made in the beginning machine piecing class. Then there was leftover from the backing material. Then there were the fabrics I needed for the Asian Applique. So it's like the amount I have is twice what I started with at the beginning of the month. How did that happen? |
tkhooper, I bet you left the lights off in your sewing room. That is what my DH claims is the cause for stash growth. lol
I experienced something similar when I pulled out a big bin of scraps and sewed AN ENTIRE TOP from that stash bin. When I took the leftover pieces and put them back, I swear the bin was more full than before. There is magic in our craft. |
I have been telling my quilting friends that I've joined a fabric moratorium group and it has saved me lots of discussion about why I'm not buying anything. froggyintexas

Recent finish ALL FROM STASH!! 100%!!
http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...n-t264771.html I can also relax a bit now that my Paper Princess duties are over for back-to-back Bridal & Baby showers (different people :D ) At least I didn't have any opportunity to shop. Here's a bit of what I made for them, which coordinated with their respective invitations and thank you cards. [ATTACH=CONFIG]518730[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]518731[/ATTACH] |
Paper princess - those are wonderful! Wow! The angry lion is just wonderful. Love your color choices for him.
tkhooper- Martina's husband might be right that it multiplies in the dark - scraps in particular for me. |

Oh those shoes and bags are too cute for words. You do great work, princess.
I finished the outer border on a round robin. Tried Libby Lehman's way of doing reverse applique and it is fun. Now it's time to finish the four blue Dresden Bloom blocks from the Edyta Sitar method. |
Martina, I LOVE your froggy quilt!!
|
Now I know where your name came from. Paper Princess, your paper work is so pretty. Wonderful to look at.
|
Martina, what a darling quilt. Those little frogs are leaping right off the quilt! I have the Spring Bouquet quilt kit by Edyta Sitar, that I've been working on. I have appliques only ironed on the 12 quilt squares and then I just stopped. I still have to do the appliqueing of them and all of work on the boarders. I have a very expensive ufo waiting for me.
