Greetings from Amish country! There’s been no sewing at all this week as I’ve been traveling along the Jersey shore and attending a family reunion that we held in Lancaster, PA. Of course, Lancaster also means fabric shopping. I didn’t go around much, because we all know that I don’t need more fabric, but the prices are very good, especially here at Zook’s.
This week: +14.25 yards, -0 yards
YTD: +111.75 yards, -171 yards
Net stash used in 2013: -59.25 yards
Better luck to you on destashing!
I’ll leave you with a photo of a glass iron, made during WWII when metal was in short supply. I don’t know how well it worked, but it sure is beautiful! I saw it at the Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center at Mill ville, NJ.
I’m linking up with Sun day Stash Report at Patchwork Times.

How lucky are you! I love that part of the States – been there a couple of times. Quilt on my bed bought in that region. Have a good trip home. Mary Ann

I love the geese in the window! I really want to travel in that part of the country. I am sure it is beautiful.

That iron is beautiful! I had no idea they were made of glass in the 40’s. Someday I hope to get to the East Coast.

I love that iron, working or not. Never saw anything like it before.
