It wasn't really necessary, but I did purchase just a bit of fabric last month (shown bottom to top) - half-yards of a few solids I had recently used up, the muted rainbow bundle to use for the Mini Series Sew Along, and then just a quarter yard of a Gingiber print I thought might be fun to embroider.
It all seemed rather innocuous considering I had a quilt well underway completely made from stash, plus quite a lot of small projects I was working on too (bee blocks, Aurifil challenge, guild BOM, and other little projects). Happily, that all adds up!

Total Year to date: -134.612 yards
Replenishing stash and purchasing for a particular project in mind makes a lot of sense to me. And the Gingiber print looks like it should be really fun for an embroidery project. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Yvonne, and yes, innocuous is the word!
ReplyDeleteThere's never a need to justify a fabric purchase! That's why I don't keep track. :-) Love, love, love that dash-y looking Gingerber print, which I've never seen before. It would most certainly be great for embroidering.
