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

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.
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. :-)
