Nothing in.
5 yards out for a backing for the Posh charm squares quilt; I finished the top months ago, and it’s time to get this baby quilted and gifted. This quilt is part of my UFO Challenge. I am determined to whittle away at my huge number of UFOs, and so my “out” numbers are going to be mostly backings for a while. Oh, who am I kidding??? I’m sure to start something new once in a while.
I had a little impromptu give-away yesterday for a red, white, and/or blue fat quarter to the first three people to leave a comment. The 3rd and 4th people left comments almost simultaneously, so I increased the give-away to the first four people. Then I went to my sewing closet to dig out my patriotic fabrics. I ran across a yummy piece of red-on-red Christmas fabric, which sounds way more fun to work with right now than fabric for a holiday that has just passed us by. And it’s a little bigger print, so I upped it to 1/2 yard cuts each, and they will be in the mail tomorrow! 2 yards of red fabric out, so there’s my total of 7 yards out.

So now you are “giving away” your stash to make your report sound better???
Makes sense to me!!!
Way to go!!!
What!!?? Nothing “IN” this week? Way to go on that. Just wondering does Fusible Web count on your stash report?

That’s a great idea, giving away fabric so your stash is smaller. I think I may have to try that one but I love all my fabric too much.
I went and read your UFO page – that is something to think about.. picking 3 of those things and doing a little bit a week on them. I have my trusty list of PhD’s (projects half done) and I do want them done, I just love to work on the new thing in my life more!!! Okay. It’s time to get real about busting that list!! that for me was the whole point of doing the stash busting challenge – motivation to get the projects in the closet done. That is fabric I’ve bought that is just sitting there isn’t it?? lol!! thanks for the push and the little kick in the project box direction!!! Motivation helps – now to choose who is first to come see the light…….:-)
5 yards out–impressive!
I swear the stuff multiplies once I cut it up!
LOL sounds like a great idea to me!
