Happy New Year! \u00a0 I hope your Holidays were wonderful!<\/p>\n

I read somewhere last week that saving money is one of the 3 most popular resolutions people make...and since I'm always trying to save money where I can, I thought I'd jot down some ways I save money while still being able to enjoy quilting. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are 5 simple ways you can spend less and quilt within your budget:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Don't read blogs or Instagram!<\/strong>\u00a0 I probably shouldn't tell\u00a0you this since I'm a blogger...but it's 100% truth. \u00a0How many times have you purchased something you saw on a blog or Instagram? \u00a0Some of my best purchases have come from recommendations I saw on blogs\/Instagram....but when I'm trying to save money and not spend (or want), it's best to take a break from sites that might tempt me. \u00a0It's hard but a biggie!<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Keep it simple.<\/strong> \u00a0I have some fancy notions and fun tools...and I hardly ever touch them. \u00a0Instead I use my good quality basic\u00a0tools that have lasted me years. \u00a0When you need to upgrade something...invest in a quality product that will last, and try to avoid buying the latest and greatest of everything! \u00a0Here's my basics I can't live without:\u00a0<\/p>\n
