Group impacts

How do certain groups impact my actions?

Stashbusters is a yahoo group that helps you use your stash rather just buying for buying.

When they had the no buy program, you could legally buy backing, borders and backgrounds.

I went on no buy for two years and then went on the low buy method.

How did tracking what I used and brought in help?

I started in December 2006

Not a bad usage of fabric in 9 years.

The only scary part of that is you can hardly see any impact to my stash. :(

But, I have many more years of fabric that I'll be able to use.

My style has changed to more scrappy than anything, and that is good with the stash I have.

My sampler society has been helping me use orphan blocks for 3 years.

We have a UFO challenge going on for the last two years and I've finished at least a dozen quilts.

I think the accountability of the groups helps me with staying focused on what I want to accomplish.

I like the on line friendships and help.

When I'm lost at what to do, there is someone that has been there before to help me.
