I'm taking the Pledge
Well let's see how well I do. I've decided to join this little group of Fabriholics Anonymous at The Elvin Garden.
Here's a few of the ground rules:
No fabric purchases for the first 6 months (except for backing and bindings, but try to pull from stash first).
After 6 months re-evaluate and see if you can go for another 6 months.
Another is to create a UFO list and finish them. (As you have seen in some of my posts I do have a UFO list-see Page tabs above for 2014 projects).
Start de-stashing by weeding out fabric that you know you'll never use. I have done that before and will go through again. (I have a person that I give fabric to so she can make quilts for the homeless.)
Exceptions:
If you don't have stash for backing or binding then you may purchase.
Books, magazines and notions are fine.
One of the exceptions I will make for myself is, if I need fabric to round out a pattern I am making (ie., I have lots of focus or main fabrics, but not blenders or accents) I may purchase only the amount needed.
I had already decided to do something like this so maybe this will give me the little push I need.
Wish me luck.
Til later
Hugs & Stitches,
Mary
