Stash Report February 12, 2017

     Here is my lastest stash report.  I'm feeling very positive right now.   Yesterday, I was looking for a new chalk wheel.  I walked all the way through Fabric Depot to the notions wall.  They didn't have exactly what I had in mind,  so I walked all the way back,  I fondled a few bolts along the way,  but left the store completely empty handed!

Stash report: January 22, 2017

 Tonight I'm linking with Judy Laquidara's Stash report... you can check it out here

I'm not figuring seams... these projects were not cut from yardage,  so I'm going to estimate from lengths of goods,  for both top and backs  from the overall size on most of these.  


Since my report last week, 

• I completed my January UFO backing / binding ... 5 yards 
• The   top of same....  estimate..... 6 yards 
• I completed  a 42" square lap quilt....    2 1/2 yards  (blue  pink pinwheels )
• I also completed the blue rail fence lap quilt  44" square  2 1/2 yards  

Fabric Used Since last report : 16 yards 
Fabric Used year to Date: 24 yards
Fabric Added since last report: 0 yards
Fabric Added Year to Date: 0 yards
Net Fabric  as of last report:  16 yards used
Net Fabric for 2017: 24 yards Used 

Purchased batting:  January 2017 (took advantage of 50% off with an additional 20% off coupon) 

     15 yards of Soft and Bright  (90" wide) 
     15 yards of Hobbs 80 / 20  (96" wide) 
     10 yards of 4 oz poly   (48" wide) 

Batting used to date 2017: 

    as of 1/22/2017,  with the exception of finishing up the last 2 yards of Hobbs 80/20 from a roll to complete the January UFO,  

and 1 3/4 yards of Soft and bright  for the QOV which was also the end of a roll, 

all the other quilts finished in 2017 have been done from pieced scraps from my batting  scraps totes.  

Stash Report January 15, 2017

     The idea?  well,   I'll report how much fabric I've used  in FINISHED Projects and we will keep track of how much fabric is used,  and how much is obtained during the year.  We are hoping for more fabric going out.  

     I'm linking to Judy Laquidera's  linky party... click here   Judy shares every week,  since I went more than 5 months without posting,  I'm not making any promises,  but I'll do my best to post at least once a month. 

     I've been on a finish binge.... that's what happens when it snows in Oregon.... schools close,  we stay home... and I stitch.   I'm not figuring seams... these projects were not cut from yardage,  so I'm going to estimate from lengths of goods,  for both top and backs  from the overall size on most of these.  

• I've finished a table runner.... 1 yard    
• I've also finished 3 doll quilts..... 3 1/2 yards   
• A 30" lap quilt....   2 yards
• A 40" lap quilt....  2 1/2 yards 
• A Quilt of Valor  pillowcase ... 1 yard
• A Quilt of Valor  60 x 76"  ... 8 yards estimate

Stash Update - week 4

Week 4 has come and gone....

I did do some sewing this week... but it doesn't amount to much coming from my stash.... in fact if I figure the bag of scraps i brought home that were gifted to me..... (maybe I should figure them out in poundage).....  2 bags full of strings to add to my string bins.  Any help in how to figure that out in yardage... let me know.

I pieced a back for a charity quilt, that goes in the mail this week..... and I stitched a few exchange blocks that took another very small dent.....

Used this Week:                        4  yards
Used year to Date:                  6.5 yards

Stash report week 2

ok.... I fell off the wagon for sure this week... but as I mentioned last week, I can't resist a good deal.....
A local craft store is having their annual  flat fold sale this month.....
How does a girl resist fabrics at $3.99 a yard.... or $3.00 a yard... or even $2.00 a yard?  
I can't... I know that.... I tried... believe me... I really did try....


The sale wasn't supposed to start until Wednesday.   But on my way to get groceries, I decided to stop in to see what they had.... and they had started the sale early... no one was in the store... I had access to 2 wonderful clerks to cut my fabric for me.... and I went way overboard.....

Believe it or not... this is 102.5 yards of fabric... all stacked up on the counter so I can pay for it.....
My bill totalled $317.44 !!!!   So I really did stick to fabrics that were a bargain...


These are name brands... PB textiles,  Red Rooster, Hoffman, Robert Kaufman, Timeless Treasures, SouthSea Imports, Michael Miller, etc.  


I got all 10 yards of that yellow with the lime green, turquoise, and brown dots.... It will make great backing and borders.     There are 3 yards in that piece with the wild peace signs... it will be great for a teen or youth quilt... borders... I'm thinking.  


See the multi-colored dots in the center stack... about 2/3 from the top???  There are 8 yards of that between the 2 pieces.... should work for backing on several little quilts. 


I did manage to come home with some tone on tones and blenders....


Now... the sale runs all month.. and they'll get several shipments of new fabrics.. so I may have to go back.... but meanwhile... I need to get these washed and worked into the fabric wall in my stash room.... maybe I'll make a list of colors I could use more of before I go back.... LOL .

Used this Week: 1.5 yards
Used year to Date: 1.5 yards
Added this Week:  102.5
Added year to Date:  102.5
Net used for 2012: -101.00


Thread spools at start of 2012-           294
Thread spools emptied year to date:       7
Thread spools remaining -                   287
