This week I used 6.5 yards for Beach Quilt #7, and .75 for a matching pillow cover. And I didn’t buy any fabric!

This week: + 0 yards, – 7.25 yards

This year: + 38.75 yards, – 60.75 yards

Total destashed / added in 2020: 22 yards

Keep sewing the stash through this strange time!

Happy Easter!

This week I finished and mailed nine blocks for Kat’s Covered in Love drive, using 1.25 yards. (I would have made more, but that’s all the bright blue I have. It’s brighter than it looks…)

Then my DS called and needed masks for his shift at work. They are made up of all military branches, so I made a variety. Also, I discovered I have no olive drab in my stash. Go figure. Seventeen more masks used 1.5 yards.

This week: + 0 yards, – 2.75 yards

This year: + 38.75 yards, – 53.50 yards

Total destashed / added in 2020: 14.75 yards

Moving along!

Enjoy your holiday, and sew your stash!

What I’d do differently:

• Zigzag around the edges of the fabric pieces before I started sewing. This is Sunbrella jacquard fabric, and it raveled a lot.
• Use Sunbrella 15 years ago when I recovered this cushion the first time. Or when I did it the second time. Or the third.

The pillows came from Wayfair last year.

Started blocks for Kat’s Covered in Love March/April block drive. Easy! Really good blocks for beginners.

This week was pretty much a wash for using the stash. I used 4.25 yards for the masks, but 4 yards of new fabric came in.

This week: + 4 yards, – 4.25 yards

This year: + 38.75 yards, – 50.75 yards

Total destashed / added in 2020: 12 yards

I’ll leave you with these daffodils from our yard. Now go sew that stash!

Well, this was a very weird month, but I got a lot of sewing done. The weather was mostly chilly, windy, and rainy, so it was easy to stay in. I earned a rare 100% on my sewing goals.

March Goals:

1. Quilt and bind Spring Flowers Quilt. Yes, here!
2. Complete Clue #3 for Scrap Fantasy Medallion. Yes.
3. Piece top for new Beach quilt. Yes.
4. Quilt and bind Beach Quilt. Yes, here!

Bonus: Made “surgical” masks, Pinwheel quilt.

April Goals:

1. Complete Clue #4 for Scrap Fantasy Medallion.
2. Make donation blocks for Kat’s March/April Covered in Love drive.
3. Cover the cushion for my deck settee.
4. Make a top for Beach Quilt #7.

Outside may keep me from meeting these April goals, but we’ll see.

Stay well, and work on your goals!

Aren’t these pretty? Just doing my part for the economy.

The Pinwheel quiltused 5.5 yards of fabric.

This week: + 4 yards, – 5.5 yards

This year: + 34.75 yards, – 46.5 yards

Total destashed / added in 2020: 11.5 yards

Stay home and sew your stash!

Almost finished quilting!
