Stash-Busting Report — Week 23

Short and sweet:  nothing in / nothing out.  I remain at:

  • YTD 101.5 yards out
  • YTD 115.75 yards in
  • YTD Net:  14.25  yards IN  
  • I literally spent the week at the longarm, and I finished my Minnesota Quilter’s challenge quilt in time to get it submitted Friday.  I will show pictures on my What’s on Your Design Wall posting tomorrow.

    The Minnesota Quilt Show is in Duluth this week and I will be there Thursday and Friday, and I am sooo looking forward to it!  The workmanship and creativity is just amazing, and it’s fun to have something of my own to look for — even if it is a challenge entry, it’s in the show!

    I guess I better get some stash busted this week because I made a little purchase in Vicki Welsh’s Etsy store and that will arrive in the mail probably sometime this week.  Plus, what are the odds that I can spend two days at a quilt show and not buy anything?  Slim to none.

    This stash reporting has been a real eye-opener for me.  I am only slightly disappointed that I’m nowhere near my goal of busting 75 yards of stash this year, and we’re almost half-way through 2009.  What is amazing to me is how many yards I’ve used — 101.5 yards!  I would NEVER have guessed that I would go through that much fabric!

    Another bonus, as I’ve mentioned before, is the huge enjoyment my DH gets whenever I buy fabric.  You’re going to have to report that on your stash report!   hahahahahahahaha!
