July 12th, 2010 - Stash Report Week #28
Better late than never. I was at my sister’s and even went to a quilt shop and didn’t purchase a thing. Wow! A first for me! I have so many things on the go and I just couldn’t get interested in more fabric.  But I did bring home some backing fabric that my sister had for me. Just some plain white cotton that I think is pima cotton. It’s really soft and cool, a totally different feel than the regular Kona cotton. It’s a wide back and this is the second time I’ve used it for backing. The other quilt is still at the longarm quilter’s and it should be done by the end of the month. I can’t wait to see what it’s going to feel and look like.
Fabric added this week: 3.5 yds
Fabric added YTD: 99.68 yds
Fabirc used this week: 0 yds
Fabric used YTD: 114.63 yds
Net fabric busted: 14.95 yds
Have a great week.

Pima cotton – heard of it but not sure what it is. This is why I love old sheets for backing, they’re really soft and almost silky if you get the good cotton kind. They’ve been washed so much they feel SO good.
Can’t believe you went to a quilt shop and didn’t buy anything…..
