What do you mean, it isn’t Sunday any more???  I’m playing catch-up, and thought I better confess post ‘cuz I was naughty stimulating the economy this week. 

IN:  20 yards for an unplanned brainstorm quilt (that’s what happens when you go shopping with Pam B — “Oh, look at this fabric, you could do a wholecloth quilt for the Fair!”)  I never think of doing a wholecloth with a printed fabric, and of course this one was a gorgeous yellow and blue floral on white with a coordinating border stripe (Pam says that’s still a wholecloth, and I ALWAYS believe Pam), plus a little apple-green check for the binding and the backing, all cute as can be.  And with my coupons, got it for $2/yard.  Oh, you want to know the yardage?  20 yards in.

OUT:  This weekend at the family reunion, first-cousin-once-removed Kurt’s wife Sandy (who’s the only other quilter in this branch of the family) mentioned she had been asked to make a pink quilt for a breast cancer fundraiser, but was wishing she had some of the authentic fabric.  WELL!  I happen to have a kit, all authentic fabric, pretty as you please, includes backing and the pattern, sitting on a shelf.  Bought it from our LQS when it was the end of this fabric line’s run and they had it @ half price, and I thought I might want to do one in my spare time (yeah, right!).  It is now off the shelf and boxed up, on its way to Sandy!  8 yards out.

So the downward spiral continues…

YTD 131.5 yards out

YTD 159.00 yards in

YTD Net:  27.5 yards IN   (booo!)

YTD Goal:  75 yards out (102.5 yards away from my goal, but who cares any more???)

Friday was our 38th anniversary (how could that be?  I’m not even that old), and since we had company during the week and I was gone all weekend, we’re going out for an early dinner tonight at a local steakhouse.  I better start getting ready.  I’m just glad I don’t have to report everything I eat during the week . . .
