September 27th, 2009 - Stash Report Week #39
Well, you all know that I went to the sewing show yesterday but I didn’t buy any fabric there. No, I had my sister bring me the fabric I needed to finish something I started last week. I only needed 3.25″ .She said that there was maybe 4 yards left on the bolt so I said I would take it all. All ended up being 8.5 yards.
Â
 But it’s a great colour for all those fall quilts I’m going to be making….next year! Not my usual colour of fabric but I think it will be  a great addition to my stash.
Â
Â
Fabric added this week: 8.5 yds
Fabric added YTD: 224.69 yds
Fabric used this week: 3.25 inches or 0.09 yds
Fabric used YTD: 161.29 yds
Net fabric busted: -63.4 yds
At least the sewing room is all tidy and I don’t have to leave the recent addition on the counter. I’ll just place it in the appropriate spot.
Happy quilting.

 P.S. I forgot a few things that I got at the show. A new ironing board cover, mine looks like crap and a large roll of Golden Threads paper.

Oh my goodness – you keep track of your net fabric used/added. I need to try that, but I’m afraid of what the net would be, especially this year. I’ve been on a buying binge all year long. Maybe I’ll start tracking in January – it’s a resolution that I could keep and that might also deter me from buying just because a fabric is so pretty and I might never see it again (my usual rationale). Sounds like you all had a nice time at the expo even though it was smaller than anticipated.

Goodness, that looks almost like the fabric I’m using on my hubby’s quilt. Cant’ wait to see what you’re using it in!

I love that fabric! I have something similar, and it’s very versatile. Looks good with most everything. Well done with your stash report! 🙂
