Stash Report May 29, 2011

Well I finally have something new to report.....and a confession to make.


First the confession.....I am a procrastinator.......it's true!



What do you mean you already knew that? HUMPH!


So I have a wedding to attend this June and two graduations, one in June one at the end of July.


Me being a quilter...I want to give quilt gifts....it was an easy choice.


Me being a procrastinator....I waited until that last minute. I decided I still have enough time to get everything done so last night I wrote down a detailed plan of action to cut out and piece two quilts in a very short time. I have one quilt cut out so far and working on the second but had to stop and make spaghetti sauce so while I am resting from all that cutting and cooking I thought I would take time to blog about my efforts. Here is a picture of the first quilt cut out:


It will be a large twin size and due end of June. I chose a very easy pattern that looks impressive...especially to non quilters. Her favorite color is purple. Here are the pieces cut out....can you guess what it will be?







This is the fabric for the second quilt which will be the same basic pattern but made with biigger pieces and will be a queen size. This one is for the wedding mid June: can you guess?




At any rate I will finish cutting it all out by the time I go to bed so am counting all of it (minus backings) now in my stash report



It is 7 yds for the twin and 9 for the queen.

Fabric in this week: 0 yds

Fabric out this week: 16 yds

Total in this year: 2 yds

Total out this year: 35.5 yds

Total busted: 33.5 yds

2011 Stash Report Week 11

I have been sewing and about half way done with the top for my nephew's graduation gift. I am determined NOT to be rushing and sewing down the binding two hours before the party! Procrastination is a stress inducer.

I am working on it.

Since I count my fabric as busted when I cut it out.....
Numbers are the same.
Fabric IN this week: 0 yards

Fabric used this week: 0 yards

Total IN this year: 2 yards

Total out this year: 19.5 yards

Total Busted 17.5 yards

2011 Stash Report Week 9

First of all, I really haven't been out sick all this time. I just get away from blogging sometimes but I'm back. I also hadn't been sewing or quilting either but again, I'm BACK!

This little quilt I made for the monochromatic challenge of Judy L's for Feb. This is the completed top. Do you see that jagged edge on the border? That would be a binding NIGHTMARE so I will be lopping that row off midway and adding a skinny border in the same color. I am calling this done for Feb. I will quilt it later. It is a baby quilt with no baby in mind for it. Who knows, I may quilt it up as a small lap quilt and give it to my daughter who is in love with purple. IF SHE LIKES IT...might be a little too girlie for her and I GET that!

As far as the stash busting goes, I haven't been blogging but I have been keeping up with my totals so here is the first 9 weeks in one shot and I hope to continue from here on out (but who knows)

Since all my fabric was cut already as of last week I don't have anything to add to the totals for this week. I'm just sewing. But here are the numbers for the record.

Fabric IN this week: 0 yards

Fabric used this week: 0 yards

Total IN this year: 2 yards

Total out this year: 19.5 yards

Total Busted 17.5 yards
