Fabriholics Anonymous January Check In

-

Hello everyone, my name is Lisa and I am a Fabriholic! The other members and I are on a fast to buy no new fabric until July 2014 and use only the fabrics we have in our stash for the next 6 months. One month is almost over and I am here to share my results with you today at Fabriholics Anonymous!

I am happy to announce I bought no new fabric except my Moda Candy Club (club I was in before I joined) that is used for the Quilters Candy Unwrapped and FQS Mini Charm Giveaway! We cannot buy fabric but you can win it!

I am finding it incredibly difficult though with all the sales and new fabric coming out so I have been pinning it all on Fabrics I Want , figure maybe when the fast is over I can try to find some of it on sale. Ha ha..

Pull these from my stash to work on some pouches this evening for a blog hop giveaway through Vicki @ 2 Bags Full that starts tomorrow!

It is amazing what you find in your stash when you start digging to make projects! So, my goal for next month is to use up just as much fabric! Good luck everyone! Having trouble uploading pics!

Thank you for stopping by!
Create and be unique,
Lisa

I am linking up with all my Fabriholics Anonymous Members with Rebecca @ Making Rebecca Lynne

    Great job. I only had a lapse of a stash subscription that I forgot to cancel. It was not for giveaway fabric though. The rest of the month has been great.

    I'm trying not to buy fabric either - mine's due to budget constraints. I do have a one block from a BOM from last year that I need to go pick up from December. It's not fair to my LQS not to do that and I want the block so I have the complete set, too. I don't know how long I'll have my self-imposed constraint. I have lots of fabric - mostly kits. I am making a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt, so I will buy some fabric for that, if I need that since it's a special project. I have been buying solids for that so I hope I have enough of those. I'm trying not to repeat any of them. I also have two quilts to bind before a quilt show in June. One is a king size and one is a queen size and each is a curved binding. I have to scallop one of them yet, too. So those projects should help to keep me busy and not buying fabric. I'm proud of your and your accomplishment for January. Maybe it will get easier and easier as time progresses. I just try not to look and then I find I'm not as tempted. Congrats.

    Hi Lisa. Thanks for sharing. :) I am an impulse fabric buyer -- if it's too good a deal to pass up, I forget to remember that I have no earthly use for it. This year I need to come up with some 'uses' for what I already have. :)

    Good or you on your stash busting! I'm trying to not buy and new fabrics either unless it's to finish a project.

    Since no buying is what you want, congratulations on your success!

    Congratulations on your fabric fast. I know how hard it is - I have also held fast. I'm missing the wonderful packages in the mail. :(

    Great idea to keep track of the fabrics you want while you're fasting. I might have to try that too!

    Great job - you're quite right too, it's amazing how many treasures are buried in the stash once you start looking.

    Good for you! I have only bought backing fabric and white background fabric and I'm very pleased with that fact. It is kind of scary what we find when we start digging in our stash, isn't it? My stash isn't like some but I have been collecting small pieces of Christmas fabrics to make both a postage stamp quilt and a charm square quilt. I cut those 53 prints up up so that should keep me busy and out of the fabric stores.

Cartwright Seam Ripper Giveaway

Welcome my friends and those who maybe visiting for the first time! Today, I am so excited to introduce you to a true West Virginian Artesian, Greg Cartwright , of Cartwright's Creations . His items are sold in historical shops throughout West Virginia. He is a lover of reclaimed wood of historical nature and creator of works of art! Greg (Cartwright's Creations) & I A note from Greg Dear Readers I have provided two seam rippers to Lisa so she can have one and one to give away. They are both made from beautiful old growth oak which was reclaimed from the original train depot in Weston (Lewis County), West Virginia. Train service was established in Weston around 1880. This wood is representative of a great part of my passion for this venture in woodworking for me – that is finding wood with a story to it. I must admit that my main focus is pens and pencils but it really doesn’t matter what I am making as long as it is from wood (although I have recently added pens...

Update This Giveaway is closed! And the winner is ... #105 gpc March 5, 2014 at 12:13 PM I follow your blog! :) Think Ruffles Blog Hop Welcome to "In The Boon Docks" and Day 1 of the "Think Ruffles Blog Hop"! My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles! I have to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Amy (Head Cheerleader)@ Sew Incredibly Crazy for arranging this great hop! What is a ruffle? There are lots of different kinds and Madam Samm left it open to interpretation. She showed us how to make some and at the time I was thinking; ruffled bloomers, ruffled dresses, ruffled pillows. Then I saw a quilt in a magazine with what looked like ruffles! I kind of browsed through the issue of Quilt-it today , March/April 2014 issue and left it in my rocking chair and went to work. The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don...
