Sunday Stash Report: 10/6/13

This is the boring kind of stash report:  nothing in and nothing out.  I’ve been pretty sick with a cold and sore throat (I blame my DS who brought it home from college), and I’ve been working on the garden and the house.  I did some paper piecing for Christmas wall hangings, but nothing is finished yet.  Ah, well.

This week:  +0 yards,  -0 yards

YTD:  +123 yards,  -197.50 yards

Net stash used in 2013:  -74.50 yards

I will get to 100 yds!

Since my garden is more interesting than my sewing this week, here is some of the bounty:

And a fall pizza made from all local ingredients:

Hope you are eating well and destashing this week.

I’m glad we saw this scene in July.  I think it’s a little snowy there today.

WIP Wednesday: Haul Out the Holly

image

I’ve been working on these little paper piecing darlings to avoid working on Oh My Stars.

Here are my stars hanging out on the design wall.  These are 12″ blocks.  I need to figure out how many more, and what sizes, I need for the two throw quilts I’m making.

I haven’t heard you humming those carols.  “Candles in the window, carols at the spinnet…”

I hope you’re playing with fabric.
