Well, I'm probably about even. I bought more, but then I tried really hard to purge my stash. However, all the talk about prices going up made me hesitant to let go of what I pulled from my stash...it's all sitting in a box in the middle of my sewing room. I'm tempted to store the box away for awhile, and then some day I'll come across it and it will all be new to me!

I stuck with it and only purchased about 8 yards of Kona to do a sew along with the board! I still have tons of scraps (my sister in law keeps giving me hers) and a dresser and closet full of stash. So, I'm pledging again for 2012.

Shopped my stash, boy was it hard looking at all the fabric waiting to be bought. Made a queen size quilt, 2 baby quilts
and several placemat sets. It doesn't seem like my stash has gone done that much. Will continue to not buy in 2012
until my UFO's are finished and most of my stash is used. Glad this challange was posted, thanks.

I did buy fabric this year, but not near as much as usual. I have a pretty large stash and love scrap quilts so I did a lot of my shopping at home! Will continue for 2012 and shop only for what I don't have for a project, or if there is a sale I just really can't pass up on fabric staples, such as black, white, neutrals.

I didn't join the mormoratorium, I still purchased as much as I wanted/needed. However, I did do a lot of shopping from my stash. But then, my stash is only a couple of years old so it still has a void here and there, so some of my purchasing was to replenish my stash, some to fill voids, and some just because I liked it and it was perfect for a new project.

Since I buy almost all of my fabric from thrift stores and rarely shop at fabric stores, I made out like a bandit this year... lots of my best fabrics were only abut $1 a yard. Also, I enjoy making small doll quilts and table runners so even the 1/4 yard pieces priced around 50 cents to $1 are great buys to me! I LOVE making do with my little treasure finds!
