My sewing room is finished. My DS made me a "big board" ironing board. I love it! I love having a dedicated sewing room. I'm so happy to be able to sew for a few minutes, and then walk away and come back to where I left off. I started a baby quilt on April 1st and have only two seams left to complete the top! Next week, I'll have something to count as "used." Yahoo! I'm hoping to have the quilt finished before the end of the month so that the baby's grandfather can deliver it when he goes to visit.
I washed, ironed and folded another 8.25 yards from the "hidden stash." I made my first fabric purchase of the year this week. 8 yards. I was looking for backing fabric for the baby quilt, but didn't find anything I really liked. I did pick up some white and black neutrals for my Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt, "En Provence." I've been sewing dark and light blue strips together as leader and enders. I'm excited to finally be sewing on this quilt.

I'm going to count fabric as "used" when I've completed a top, a bottom and/or binding.
I'll have to think about my yarn usage. I bought 2 balls of purple yarn to make a shawl. The shawl is finished, but I haven't added nor subtracted that yarn yet.
