Default The Fabric Diet

I recently moved to another state and had to store my stash for nearly a year. We are in the midst of finishing my studio space, (our new property has a small detached workshop that I claimed!), and unpacking everything when you haven't seen it in a year is an eye opener! I've been quilting for over 40 years so I've been through a lot of phases before I settled into "my style." Over the years I've had several large purges that have benefited my local guild. For about the last five years I've become pickier about what I buy since I've finally figured out what I will realistically use. Now I only buy what I really love and my fabric costs have gone down considerably.

If I were you I'd see this as an opportunity to be more creative with what you already have. I unsubscribed from all the fabric and craft store emails so I no longer feel bad about missing something I didn't know about! I call it my fabric diet.
