Stash Report -- February 14, 2010

Happy Valentine's Day!

Well, I added more fabric to my stash. . .but I have a good reason, at least to me! he he he

I added 2.675 yards of a pink solid fabric to be used as the background fabric for my version of the "Jelly Roll Sampler" quilt along (see my side bar for the link).

Here is a picture of the fabric that I plan on using for the borders and the pink fabric together.

Instead of using a jelly roll I will be using fabrics from my stash. . . based on the colors from the border fabric. Unfortunately this fabric doesn't have the color dots on the selvedge edge so I will have to play with the greens to see what looks nice.

My plan is to use all shades of pink, the greens that work well and perhaps some small touches of gray and black. In my mind's eye it looks pretty cool. . .we'll see what it looks like once I actually start playing with the blocks.

Ok, now for the report for the week:

Here are the numbers:

Fabric IN this week: 2.675 yards

Fabric IN YTD: 12.675 yards

Fabric USED this week: 0 yards

Fabric USED YTD: 3.125 yards

Fabric Stash USED YTD: + 9.55 yards

I'm hoping to get some sewing done today so that I can possibly start this week off with a "running start".

To check in on the rest of the stash busting crew head over to Judy's blog.

I'll be talking to ya!!

SNOW!!!!

I have an unexpected day off of work today. So, you would think that I am working on something crafty, wouldn't you?

Nope, I've watched daytime television shows that I don't usually get to see, washed dishes, shovelled some of the "white stuff", and played around on the computer.

I'm glad I filled the bird feeder yesterday; the show that the birds have been putting on today has been quite enjoyable to watch.

I am waiting for "Quilt In A Day" to come on at 2:30PM and I will probably do a little bit of pattern organization later.

Hopefully I'll get some pictures of the snow before too much longer. . .it does look like a wonderland out there.

I'll be talking to ya!

Stash Report --- Sunday, February 7, 2010

I will be editing this post later today with a couple of pictures, but thought I would at least put in my report.

Fabric IN this week 0 yards

Fabric IN Y-T-D 10 yards

Fabric USED this week 0.5 yards

Fabric USED Y-T-D +6.875


I did some sewing yesterday. . .attached the binding to 2 charity quilts (the fabric from one was counted last week so the 1/2 yard used was for the 2nd quilt).



We have a birthday party to attend today (postponed from yesterday) and, of course, today is Super Bowl Sunday, so perhaps I'll get the bindings sewn on the back of at least one of the charity quilts.

Until later. . . .

I'll be talking to ya!!
