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.

Thanks for hosting Conchalea. I will be following again in January! I enjoy seeing what is all done with our past purchases.

I agree, OK! All the creative uses of stash is inspiring.

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.

Ditto, Irish! Not buying anything. I was able to clear out one whole shelf of precuts this year so that makes me very pleased....plus used orphan blocks and used 2 bolts for backing....plus a myriad of other projects I used FQ leftovers. I have a stack of beautiful fabric I have no immediate plans for so I am wrapping these up for Christmas present for SIL. She’ll be over the moon...that’s about 10 yards and will keep her from having to shop for a couple of months with a fresh infusion of new stuff..

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

I won't promise to not by anything, but I will promise to buy only what is needed for a specific project. I am sure I can refrain for three and a half more weeks.

See every one and many, many more in January!

I thought I would buy at least something for backgrounds with the end of year sales going on, but really I just have no enthusiasm for buying fabric at the moment. That's a good thing, right? I have enough stash and enough variety that I really need nothing. And then today a friend gifted our charity quilting group with two and a half large totes loaded with fabric! I pulled a muscle in my back carrying it into the house. The ladies are going to be delighted with the haul when we meet again.

Synnove, sorry to hear about your back. It does reinforce what I said about fabric being heavy.

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.
