Sending you some bright blocks to brighten your days. Many of us here in the US are overwhelmed by snow and cold. We must fight back by sewing!
A very positive stash report this week, but I will confess that there’s a fabric order on the way…
This week: +0 yards, -10 yards (pillowcases for donation)
This year: +0 yards, -10 yards
Net stash used this years: -10 yards
Keep warm!

Nothing in and nothing out this week. I’m quilting the turquoise and gray chevrons, so that will be in next week’s report, I hope.
This week: +0 yards, -0 yards
YTD: +131 yards, -231.25 yards
Net stash used in 2013: -100.25 yards
So what’s Yuri so interested in, if it’s not the stash? His boy is home from college, and was pulling in the driveway when I took this. Sure made his ears perk up.
May you all spend this week with people who make you happy.

Sewing away over here, but no finishes to report. No fabric in, no fabric out. Next week should be much more exciting. This is Krissi, by the way.
This week: +0 yards, -0 yards

Net stash used in 2013: -82.5 yards
How are you doing with your destashing?

Just a little fabric in this week, just barely offset by what I used, but it was in the right direction and the math was easy. I needed some fabrics for my landscape quilt, and the two on top were very much on sale. And sprinkled with gold metallic spots. Obviously, I had to buy them.
AND, I’ve embarked on a great destashing project: the Scrapitude Mystery Quilt at Quilting for the Rest of Us. There’s a Flickr group, and it’s being heavily discussed/shown on Twitter, #scrapitude. It’s just starting, so join us.
This week: +3.5 yards, -4.5 yards (wall hangings)
YTD: +123 yards, -184.75 yards
Net stash used in 2013: -61.75 yards
Instead of Yuri, whose main accomplishments are catching chipmunks to release in the house, and getting in the way of quilt photographs, I thought I’d show you my son today. He is accomplished at many things, including playing trumpet in the Marching Thunder band at Marshall University, Huntington, WV, where he is a sophomore. Yes, We Are Marshall, the movie. They march about 300 instruments.

Back from our Odyssey across America and Canada, and only 2 yards of fabric returned with me! I am happy to report that there are hundreds of quilt shops in the northern US and Canada, but I did not shop in most of them. DH kept saying, “Do you want to go in that shop?”, as if it would make up for the hours of staring at the plains or slogging through yet another museum or gift shop. I kept reminding him that I already own plenty of fabric. I did buy these pre-cuts at The Quilt Patch in Moose jaw, SK, with the idea of reproducing some of those plains or mountains in quilt form.
On return, I found that Timeless Treasures had sent me this Tonga Treat Mini as a thank-you for the quilts I donated to Hurricane Sandy Relief. Darn, batiks!
This week: +2.75 yards, -0 yards
YTD: +114.5 yards, -171 yards
Net stash used in 2013: 56.5 yards
How is your summer going? Getting to be time for back-to-school and some serious sewing!

Good morning! Yes, some fabric was purchased, five yards from Scizzors on Etsy. They have a great selection of novelty prints. This is earmarked for a Christmas project, so it will come back off the rolls, hopefully in the next few months.
I used three yards to back the commissioned quilt and pillow cover.
This week: +5 yards, -3 yards
YTD: +97.5 yards, -163.5
Net stash use in 2013: -66 yards
How are you doing with destashing? It’s freeing, isn’t it?

It’s been a busy, hot week, and I didn’t sew as much as I would have liked. I need to make sure I get up early and not linger over the coffee and tablet. Our woods are deceptively cool, but by noon my upstairs studio is usually too hot for sewing in this weather. We’ve also been away a fair amount. This week I used 6 1/2 yards for the Orange and Gray String Quilt. I’ll blog about it soon.
Some fabric was purchased. 10 1/2 yards. but isn’t it pretty? Those are little gray flying geese on the white one! I passed by The Fabric Shack twice in the last two weeks, but I couldn’t look the other way the third time. The geese were on sale… Aaa, I have the rest of the year to make it to -100 yards!
This week: +10.5 yards, -6.5 yards
YTD: +83.5 yards, -144.4 yards
Net stash used in 2013: -61 yards

Well, yes, that is new fabric. 22 1/5 yards from eQuilter. I suppose it doesn’t reduce the yardage that most of it was on sale, does it? But it’s great stuff, and some of it is earmarked for a Christmas gift project. I did use 7 1/2 yards to finish the Blue and Orange donation quilt.
This week: +22.5 yards, -7.5 yards

How are you doing with your stash reduction? Sometimes you have to buy some to use some…

Well, it was all buy this week and no use. I was feeling a distinct lack of solids and neutrals, and my DH and I found the perfect day to make a trip to The Fabric Shack. I know that those of you around the world who buy from them because of their low-cost shipping are jealous that I am close enough (forty-five minutes) to visit there. It is a great store to visit. The stuff just goes on and on. However, they have more in their online store than they can fit in the brick and mortar place. Kona solids, for instance, are never completely represented when I go there. Their warehouse is in town, and if they’re not busy (ha!), and you can wait long enough, they might bring over the bolt you need, but sometimes it is just easier to order. Still, we had a very pleasant spring trip, and I found the floral on a good sale.
I’ve been sewing all week (when I wasn’t fabric shopping), but I only succeeded in quilting half of my queen sized Nicey Jane quilt, so nothing to count as used. Maybe next week?
If you like numbers, notice that I’ve used exactly twice as much as I’ve purchased this year. So if I buy another hundred yards… No, I guess not. As you can see, my stash is already out of hand.
This week: +12.75 yards, -0 yards
YTD: +50.5 yards, -101 yards
Net stash used in 2013: 50.5 yards

Just a little bit of fabric came in this week, but even less went out. These things happen.
I was proud of myself for taking my ConKerr Cancer pillowcases to the nearest drop off on February 28, helping to complete my goals for February “Getting It Done” at Patchwork Times. (I also met that day with the very nice and appreciative lady who collects Project Linus blankets, and handed off eight baby quilts, so I did complete all my goals.) Nothing like waiting till the last day of the month, but I DID it, and that’s what counts. However, The Mason Jar, that took the pillowcases, IS a quilt shop, so what could I do? I think it would have been very rude to leave without buying anything…especially when they gave me 10% off for dropping off ten pillowcases… So I wasn’t rude, but I didn’t buy very much, either. I bought two golden brown batiks to fill out my dwindling browns, and the end of a bolt of fabric with large dots. When I asked the women at the cutting table what color they thought it was, the answer was, “Kind of a grayish, blackish, brownish color. Taupe?” So I have some taupe dots for a backing. Hmmm.
This week: +5.75 yards, -3.25 yards (pink quiet quilt)
YTD: +21.75 yards, -63.5 yards
Net Stash used in 2013: -41.75 yards
