Darcy Shannon, your purchase qualifies for the “travel exemption!” Plus, if you already have plans to use it in a current project, it wasn’t purchased to place in your stash. So you’re fine & haven’t technically fallen off the fabric moratorium wagon.

My wonderful quilting mentor is moving to the southern end of the state to a smaller place with her family. I am so fortunate in that she is gifting me Huge HUGE boxes of fabric. I will never shop again!!!!!!!!!

Oh goodness....quite the haul, Battle Axe!!! That is awesome and so generous of her. Sad for you both that she's moving away, though. I see FaceTime and visits in your future...

Well, I jumped off the moratorium train last weekend & ordered a kit from Craftsy. It’s the Quiltworx pattern Cactus Flower with fabric to make a table runner. It was just under half price & even with tax & shipping cost $50.50. On the Quiltworx site the pattern alone is $28.50! The kit has 5 different batik fabrics, in colors I might not have chosen to put together. So I’m moving out of my comfort zone with this one. It isn’t going into stash-I’ll start it after I complete the two quilts that need quilting & binding. So I’m climbing back aboard.

I bought 16.5 yards of fabric today from a quilt store in central Minnesota. They had a special buy for the MN Guild quilt show. Buy 2 yards, get 1 free. I saved $10 on that deal! I also bought 2 fabrics of 6 yards each that were 50% off. I am claiming an exemption because it was tied into the quilt show which I attended for the first time and I am 80 miles from home.
