Stash Report

No new fabric purchased, or added to the stash this week.  I still have a large pile of inherited fabric to wash and iron, but nothing added to the stash this week.

I stitched a minimum of 60 minutes every day this week!  Yahoo!  I knit every day, and I sewed on Saturday and Sunday. 

The printer still isn't working, so I haven't started the Land Before Time QAL.  I finished the cauldron for the POD.  A productive week overall.

Cauldron

Fabric Used This Week:  0 yards
Fabric Used Year to Date: 0 yards
Fabric Added This Week: 0 yards
Fabric Added Year to Date: 17.25.25 yards
Net Fabric for 2017: + 17.25 yards

Estimated yardage on hand:  335.47 yards  (Started 2018 with 315.22 yards)

I count fabric IN when it's washed, ironed and added to the stash cupboard.  I count fabric OUT when I finish a top, back and/or binding.

Stash Report

This week I purchased 3.5 yards to use for the Land Before Time QAL.  I have yet to start the blocks though, because my printer isn't working properly.  I did sew for 50 minutes today on my POD, but not a stitch of any kind throughout the week.  Argh!  I'll try to stitch more this week.


Top of the Cauldron - 50 minutes of sewing time

I did sort out, wash and iron 10.75 yards of fabric I inherited from my SIL.  That's a total of 14.25 yards added to the stash this week.

Stash Report

Let's try this again!  My sewing room is clean and tidy.  My fabric and other supplies are neatly organized.  My quilting fabrics are counted and hopefully this year I actually FINISH SOMETHING!

Total fabric used last year was 2 yards.  Wow!  That was just one top.  I added 35.75 yards and have an estimated yardage on hand of 315.22 yards.  Ha!  Not true!  I've been cleaning out closets and drawers.  Lots more yardage to be added to my total, most of it gifted.  Additionally, I haven't counted any of the flannels.  Sigh.  I do need to sew S O M E T H I N G.

So...for 2018, my word of the year is my resolution.  STITCH - This year I plan to stitch a minimum of 18 minutes every day.  Yesterday I sewed for 2 hours and today I sewed for an hour.  Good start.

I've been thinking about Jennifer Ofenstein's Project of Doom (Harry Potter quilt) for a few years.  Last summer I organized and prepared.  Yesterday, I actually stitched.  Yahoo.  I'm participating in the new QAL on FaceBook, so hopefully I can keep up and sew at least one block each week for the next 30 weeks.


My first POD block.  Butter Beer.

I bought 3 yards of blue today to use for the sky background for The Land Before Time QAL  (also on FaceBook).

I'm not going to count wool this year.  I did quite a bit of knitting last year and finished several items, but lost track of counting it.  Compared to quilting fabric, I really don't have much yarn.  :-)
