This week I made sixteen of these cuties and made them into a baby quilt that you’ll see soon.  That used three and a half yards, and no new fabric came in.

This week:  + 0 yards,  – 3.5 yards
This year:  + 93.25 yards,  – 131.0 yards
Net fabric destashed  in 2015:  37.75 yards

Today I’m putting together a dozen string blocks for Kat’s October block drive.  You know me and strings, but it’s also a good cause.  Look at what “we” made with August’s flying geese blocks!  She gave us the color scheme and we all pieced geese, and look how well they went together!  I love the way she sashed and quilted it, too.

Whether you’re stashing or destashing, I hope you’re having success.  I’m linking up to Judy’s report at Patchwork Times.

The weather changed abruptly here this week, and today is a cool, crisp, sunny fall day.  Did I work outside?  No, I sewed most of the day, till my thread started shredding, and I decided that retreat was in order.  Live to fight another day, etc.

I spent the last few days making these storage cubes from bird seed bags, so no fabric was used there.  Anyone interested in a tutorial?

I did make these twelve hashtag blocks for a #Twilter swap coming up, so I used two and a half yards there.  These aren’t trimmed yet, but they’ll be twelve inches square.  I have more to make, but I’d had enough so I took a break.

And, no new fabric came in this week!

This week:  + 0 yards,  – 2.5 yards
This year:  + 91.75 yards,  – 125.00 yards
Net fabric destashed  in 2015:  33.25 yards

Comments:

I appreciate everyone’s comments!  Sometimes I’m bad about replying to them.  Sometimes they don’t really seem to need an answer, since they are already an answer, and someone has to hang up the phone!  Sometimes I just don’t get to them, or I’m on the wrong device and can’t see your email.  This week I answered a bunch of nice comments, and now I don’t see most of  them in my sent box, so I have no idea which ones got through.  Sigh.  Thanks for reading, anyway!

Good luck on your destashing!  I’m linking up to Judy’s report at Patchwork Times.

The good news is that only one quarter yard came in this week!  And I used three and a half yards to remake the Star Wars baby quilt.  Grrr.  A post about that later.  Anyway, I’m moving that stash out a little at a time.

This week:  + .25 yards,  – 3.50 yards
This year:  + 91.75 yards,  – 119.25 yards

I give myself a C- on this month’s goals:

August Goals

1.  Complete coastal wall hanging.  Almost!  I have it partially quilted.

2.  Work on UFO geometric wall hanging.  No.  Haven’t even looked at it.

3.  Make a top from my new Christmas fabrics.  Looking at these tutorials:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkm3nCferp4  and  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSKQhzZYwFw  from Missouri Star.  Yes!  The top is finished, as well as the back, and ready to be sandwiched.

4.  Source little zippers for earbud pouches.  No.  Kinda lost interest in these, though they are cute.  

I think I could have finished this list, think I would have, except for the commissioned baby quilt.  Still think I would have, except for having to remake the baby quilt.  And somewhere in there I took a break to make six scrappy blocks for Kat’s August block drive (mine have that blushing batik in them) .  Here is what she’s doing for September.

September Goals

1.  Finish coastal wall hanging.
2. Quilt and bind Christmas quilt.
3. Make a baby quilt from some floral scraps I’ve pulled together, probably D4P.
4. Work on UFO wall hanging

How are you doing on your sewing goals?  A busy, busy time, but things should start to settle down this month.  Good luck and enjoy!

This week I acquired one yard of fabric, but I used it to complete the Star Wars Baby Quilt ( I’ll post about it later, after the customer recieves it.)

This week:  + 1 yard,  – 3.5 yards
This year:  + 86 yards,  – 115.75 yards
Net fabric destashed  in 2015:  29.75 yards

So I’m creeping toward my goal of destashing 50 yards this year.

How are you doing?  I’m linking up to Judy’s report at Patchwork Times.
