First, Happy Mother's Day, everybody!
Unless it is absolutely necessary to finish a project, I am not, I repeat NOT, going to buy another piece of fabric this year....
Don't get me wrong...I am happy with my purchases....it's just that I have spent enough to last me....ForEver!
The only thing is I still have 3 spaces on my card at the local LQS....
6 visits/spaces filled with $$ spent on purchases = free shopping spree up to 10% of total $$ shown. And the amount I have spent in the last 3 months.....wellllll...but it will have to wait....unless I can sneak in 3 small purchase visits....hummmm
I have several dreams that I can make come true with stuff I have here .Don't get these confused with the list over <- there.... This is just a casual stash/lookthrough of ideas while sitting at my computer and not even digging...
1) flannel quilt- I have cream and white flannel behind this as well...
2) braided rug- long term project, on low priority...
3) apron - Definite Christmas gift....more in later posts
4) Stonehenge kit- again - eventually....
5) Another shirt plaid quilt...I found (for free) some green plaid to go with my stash... one will probably will go as #6, one for one of my male GC...
6) Several more Comfy Cuddle Quilts
7) Mug Rugs (need I say more???)
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Right now, however, I am kneedeep into a project which is nearing its' completion. I decided to take my B/B quilt to a LongArm Quilter to quilt...it is done, and now it is up to me to finish the label and binding. This can be easily done in the time frame allowed. It will take as long to make the embroideried (sp?) label as it will to bind it, but it can be done by June 15th (have to have time to wash this monster and let it dry).
Ok,,,now let's see how long I can hold out.........
I'm guessing no more than 2 weeks. Good luck! We keep having (and going to) shop hops in our area. I'm pretty good most of the time, but, not always. I try to have a 'list' with me. It helps cut back on things I don't need. Notions don't count at all, just fabric and patterns. Never have enough notions!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I'm betting you can hold out for .....a month! You have some yummy things there - I was drooling over the flannels!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that resolve. :)
