September 18th, 2011 - The Stash

 Three weeks in a row! I think I’m setting a new record, for myself that is. And that means I have used some fabric too. Actually I made  some kits up for a friend who has taken an interest in quilting. She likes all these little wall hangings I made so she asked me for some fabric and the patterns to make her own. I said “sure, more fabric out of my house”.  And it made a tiny little dent in my stash.

Fabric used or gotten rid of this week: 4.8 yds

Fabric used YTD: 132.68 yds

Fabric added this week: 0 yds

Fabric added YTD: 154.02 yds

Net fabric busted: -21.34 yds

 I’m still working on that negative number but it’s hard when you’re trying to finish up all those UFOs. More to finish this week too. Have a great week!

 Hey we go again. Another week and more stash used. I bet you thought I was going to say that I added more fabric. Fooled you all! And myself too. I finished 2 more comfort quilt tops and I still need to cut the backs for 3 of them. And when I do cut the backs, I hope my numbers will finally be headed in the right direction.

Fabric used this week: 7.76 yds

Fabric used YTD: 127.88 yds

Fabric added this week: 0 yds

Fabric added YTD: 154.02 yds

Net fabric busted: -26.14 yds

 Okay now to go sew something. Have a great week.

Hey, 2 weeks in a row. That could only mean one thing. I’ve sewed again. Woo hoo!! Anyway here’s the scoop.

Fabric used this week: 13.48 yds

Fabric used YTD: 120.12 yds

Fabric added this week: 0 yds

Fabric added YTD: 154.02 yds

Net fabric busted: -33.9 yds

 I’m working really hard to get that back into the positives. And that means sew, sew, sew! I did win a gift basket that has some fat quarters but it’s still at the shop I won it from.  And I heard there’s some yardage in there too. I hope it’s all usable stuff and that it’s not going to sit in my stash. If that’s the case, I’ll just have to gift it to someone. Have a great sewing week.
