2020 Fabric Fast

So whoever admits to knowing me knows that I have a large stash of fabric.  This stash is wonderful but can also be an anchor around my neck.  I have resolved to make 2020 the year that I help to relieve the weight of this anchor.  I have resolved to only use the fabric and supplies that I have on hand (the only exception will be quilting thread as I may not have enough variety of colors for the projects I will be quilting). 


This Fabric Fast is going to be good for me in many ways.  Not only will I be saving some money by not spending as much on fabrics, but it will also force me to think outside the box on some projects and that is not a bad idea.

What was fun about making these is first of all, I love the couple who was receiving them.  So that helps.  Also, all the fabric, buttons and embellishments came from my own stash.  I did not have to purchase one thing for them.  How cool is that?  I also loved that as I was making them I was thinking and praying for Sam and Adam.  That made it extra special. 


So here we are 3 days into 2020 and so far so good. 


Happy New Year.
