Tonight is the first night I have read this particular thread. I think this will be an easy one to keep. Since I first joined QB on Feb 1, I have completely finished 3 UFO's am quilting a WIP, made a design board, and went to the library today to use their huge tables to pin baste another UFO wall hanging. Yesterday I had to make an emergency run to my LQS to buy monofilament thread to finish what is under the needle. Prior to that, I bought some batting that was priced way to good to be true at Walmart. Now that I have found this thread, I guess the fabrics will start jumping in my cart automatically. May I claim temporary insanity then?

I posted some pics of table toppers at: http://quiltingboard.com/t-115955-1.htm and http://quiltingboard.com/t-115419-1.htm
(I keep missing those dots in addresses.)
Everything came out of my stash. They are easy and quick to make. Could be especially fun to make for someone who has children as a base for an Easter centerpiece.

I,too, fell off the wagon last month. A fellow quilter had a great sale of her bulging stash for $1/yd. She had gorgeous fabric and I bought some 30's prints, holiday prints and a few fat quarter bundles for gifts. Still, I spent less than $20 bucks. At $1/yd, 'wild horses couldn't drag me away'!

I just found this through a posting on another topic. I made a promise on New Year's Eve to finish UFO's. I've bought some fabric, but definately not as much as last year. I've started going through my stash, and found stuff I forgot I had. I've even started cutting up fabric into quilt pieces, so I can pick up a package and go to my sewing groups. Just hang in there, everyone.Remember, you have allowed your stash to age gracefully. Now, go play with it!
