STASH REPORT - Week 12, 2014 (3/23/14)

Used this Period: 16 yards
Added this Period: 0 yards

Used year to Date: 71.64 yards
Added Year to Date: 30.47 yards 

Net Stash Decrease for 2014: 41.17 yards

 

Wow, my stash was increasing after adding 10 yards last week instead of decreasing--but this week helped reverse those numbers!  I checked back to last year's ending report and found that I have already purchased almost 2X as much fabric this year (and it's only March!) as I did in 12 months last year.  Guess it's a fabric diet for me!  I do still have 2 quilts that need backing/binding, which will help the "Used" numbers, but I need to go back to "shopping the stash."  sigh..... 

 

I finished the Scrappy String Quilt and made the backing.  My lighting downstairs isn't very good, and the colors don't show "true."  The pinks and yellows--and actually the pastel colors don't show up very well--hardly even look pink or yellow!  It is actually much prettier than the pictures show--I'm happy with it!  It measures 84x96.

 

Well...much of this week was spent in the kitchen.  I made cinnamon rolls on two different days.  Saturday I made a couple of salads and a sandwich spread.  A friend wants to come out and make pies, so guess I'd better practice a bit more on my pie crusts.  I have the blocks of the pig quilt ready for blanket stitching around the applique, so perhaps I will have a positive report on my stash again next week.
