Welcome to D T Quilts!

This blog will chronicle my quilting experiences. I have been sewing since my grandmother taught me to as a child. I loved it even then. I began quilting in 2004 to make a quilt of my daughter's school uniforms. Check out the Lauren's Sacred Heart Quilt page. I fell in love with quilting and have not stopped since. I belong to several great quilt guilds. Happy Quilting!

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!

  3. WOW! You can see a difference in the pictures. Unfortunately, I will never use what I have in a life-time. Mostly because I have inherited my great-grandmothers, grandmothers and mom's stash too. It was so Great meeting you. Wish we could have spent more time chatting! I will be in New Orleans for the next meeting too.
