Oh, man, this isn’t the start that I envisioned, but how was I to know Fabric Town was having a big sale???
So I’m starting the year in the negative, but I don’t regret it one bit. 25 FQ’s for a buck apiece (some for an Asian quilt I have in mind, some for my brown/gold/cream/red stash), three pieces of Fusions (yum) at half price, and a bit of white with pink flowers for a girly baby quilt. So here are the hard facts:
Fabric In YTD: 16 yards
Fabric Out YTD: 0 yards
2009 Goal: 75 yards OUT
YTD Net: -16 yards
Well, I need to get something of my own on the Gammill so I can at least subtract a backing for next week! I’m currently back to piecing blocks for Judy L’s last Quilt for an Hour (started it months ago, so can’t count anything out of stash). I love the quilt, and I’m doing it in Civil War fabrics. Oh, and I’m doing two of them, so I am currently working on 60 blocks! I’m not much of a resolution maker, because I would make the same ones every year so obviously they don’t “take”. But I should probably work on moderation in 2009! And this week I plan to get my version of Judy L’s Labor Day Challenge Quilt onto the longarm.
I don’t think I could have resisted those buys either. Now that you mention it, somewhere I have one of Judy’s projects in a baggie somewhere!
I would have bought those fabrics too. They’re yummy!
The fusion fabrics are very yummy. Good thing I didn’t see there was a sale. LOL Good luck on Week 2!
I don’t think I could have passed up that good a sale let alone the price!
Sue,
You found great fabrics! I could never do the stash reduction thing because I am constantly buying fabric. I try hard not to but it just doesn’t work!! I don’t buy quite as much since we no longer live so close to the Twin Cities but there are great shops in Mankato so I just found new territory to claim my good buys in!! Hee Hee!
Ah ha….I see you did make it over to Fabric Town for that sale.(smile) I think it’s over now, right? I love the Asian FQ’s you got, very pretty. She did have a lot of colors in the FQ’s to choose from it was hard to resist. But I did…I didn’t get any fabrics while I was there. LOL
