In June I will try to not buy any more fabric or clothes for the girls. I have more than enough material in this house and the girls have heaps of clothes for winter. Wadding does not count as fabric though! We are off to Sydney for a family wedding in late October and it really is time to start pulling in the purse strings a bit in preparation. I have to work on the need/want aspect in my shopping! Saying that though, my iron has just died this morning so I'll have to go buy one of those today.... Suppose thats what I get for leaving it on all the time.
Things are getting a bit messy in the sewing room/space/bench/nook. I have two log cabin blocks totally finished, the one on the bench just has the last row to go. I was doing block #2 and #3 as you go, like sew a row, then get out all my strips and see what colour tone would work next. Then if there was nothing there, I'd rummage in my stash. And then I'd just plonk it all on the bench! Should really put it away Helen......

Helen, I will try and stick with you on the buy no fabric in June challenge.
I am sure your other viewers would like you to share your other pledge re no quilting?
I would love to join you on the no fabric ban but I might have to get some polar fleece to sew FIL's pressie. BTW, is that a dryer I see in the pic?
I love the bright colours against the white....blocks are looking good...does Grace like them???
I'm about to make the same announcement about a no-buy June on my blog. I'll count down the days with you!
Well now that it is out there on the www, you will HAVE to stick to it! I will be watching you closely, lol.
Novy, yep, thats our dryer! LOL
Atet! Glad to see you are taking the challenge too! How many days left now to go??! :)
