Stash Report Week #52

The last report for this year, a little late as I was out of town. Here we go:

Fabric added this week: 0 yards
Fabric added this year: +268.5 yards

Fabric used this week: 0.5 yards
Fabric used this year: -351 yards

Net fabric for the year: -82.5 yards (used!)

What I accomplished:
  • made four wonder wallets

No quilty goals this week as the family enjoys some time together!

Thanks to JudyL for her weekly postings of stash reports! The reports help me to *think* about a fabric purchase and *shop* the stash first. My fabric buying habits are improving and I can thank Judy for that!

Thanks for the inspiration, Judy!

Stash Report Week #51

Well...maybe I should be sick more often as I had a really good numbers week! I finished 2 quilts and 15 wonder wallets. I added 4 yards--2 moda black and 2 moda navy. My report:

Fabric added this week: +4 yards
Fabric added this year: +268.5 yards

Fabric used this week: -18.5 yards
Fabric used this year: -350.5 yards

Net fabric for the year: -82 yards

What I accomplished this week:
  • bound Basketball Frogs
  • quilted and bound Remembrance
  • made 15 wonder wallets

Goals for next week:

  • Enjoy the holidays

I really feel the urge to make something...anything...to use 18 yards and reach 100 yards used! But I need to concentrate on getting ready to visit family! :)

Remembrance Finished

At the urging of DD, I quilted and bound Remembrance today.

I quilted it with Popcorn from Willow Leaf Studio and backed it with this bicycle cruiser print. DS wanted to *know* the meaning behind the bikes~I said that simply I had the 5 yards in the stash, the colors were similar and DH had rode a cruiser on Mackinac Island this summer.
