I am in , I may falter, but I am in! This moratorium is a must for a lot of us the way the economy is and our ages on fixed income. The LQS will not miss me, neither will jo anns. With our stashes we will survive and accomplish so many of our WIPs. We can use up holiday fabric all year for gifts next year.
This will be a challenge. I am going to make a sign for my closet
that says. " I am closed for all new fabric" and on the other side will say "Open for browsing, feeling, choosing, and it is all for FREE. enjoy, take your time be happy.

What I'm thinking about is this...
* no fabric purchases to start a new quilt top
* from now until 1 November 2011
What you can buy is this - items to finish an existing quilt project (either WIP or UFO):
* batting
* backing or binding fabric
* fabric (if nothing in your stash will work)
* thread or notions
Anyone else interested in joining me?

I think you have a good idea. If our grandmothers/great grandmothers could see how much most of us have now they would probably wonder if they were in a store. To think they used anything they could get their hands on like flour and feed sacks and now......all I can say is we are blessed!
