Stash Report- July 23, 2011

This is my stash as of January 2, 2011

And this is my stash as of July 23, 2011.

See a difference?  I see a little difference.  For one thing, I can now fit it all on that one shelf.  According to my numbers, I have used 134.25 yards from my stash.  To date I have made 18 quilts this year including finishing 7 UFOs.  On my list of quilts to make in 2011 I have 10 left to make. 





Used this Week: 13 yards
Used Year to Date: 224.25 yards
Added this Week: 2  yards
Added Year to Date: 90 yards
Net Used for 2011: 134.25 yards

Yesterday was our Gulf States Quilting Association meeting in Lafayette, La.  After the meeting we shopped at 2 local quilt shops.  Lots of beautiful fabric.  However, I stuck to my 2011 mantra and only bought fabric for which I had a purpose.  I bought 2 yards for an upcoming project. 

Have a great week quilting!

Stash Report- July 17, 2011

It was a good week for quilting!  This week I finished my June UFO.  Yes, I know I am a few weeks behind, but here it is.  My red and white bed quilt.  Top is finished, now to be longarmed.  I also finished a Halloween lap quilt top which is my July UFO.

Yes, it is very yellow.  But since it is Halloween let's just say it will be shocking on my couch!  I also have a Christmas lap quilt I'm working on and should finish by tomorrow.  That one is for donation.

Used this Week: 32.25 yards
Used year to Date: 211.25 yards
Added this Week: 0  yards
Added Year to Date: 88 yards
Net Used for 2011:123.25 yards

Yeah!  I am over 100 yards net used for the year.  And I can't believe how little it looks like I've used in my stash.  What's up with that?  Is it multiplying overnight?  Sticking by my quilting mantra this year- only buying fabric that has an immediate purpose (unless I hit a great sale, of course).  

Stash Report- July 10, 2011

I have been out of town for 6 weeks and in that time I did not touch a sewing maching.  Shocking, I know.  I did go through withdrawl the first couple of weeks.  Before I left I went to a class taught by Paula Toups on her sunflower wall hanging.  The top is finished, now to quilt it. 
When I got home last wee the first thing I did was start sewing again!  I was near finishing a quilt top and completed it this week.  In those 6 weeks, no shopping for quilt fabric except for 3 yards for a quilt back!  It is so good to be home.

Used this Week: 13 yards
