January 2010 Stash Report


Stash report for the month. I'm not doing good at reducing.


used 2 yds 8"

added 9 yds 16"


So that's unbusted
7 yds 8"


so as you can see the fabric on the shelf is growing I have 34" of fabric staked on top. My goal is to get it to fit on the shelves nothing on top.

2009 Quilts In Review

Not in any order here are the quilts I finished in 2009. I finished 12 but need to find pictures of 2 yet and some I never took pictures of them completed yet. Here is what I have for now.
I may have to take some pictures and come back and edit this post a little.

























































2010 Stash Report Week 1

Here we go on another year.

This year I'm not reporting every week instead I'm going to report by the month. So I'll post my report the end of January.


My goal for last year was 150 yards I busted about 100 yards (I'm very happy with that). I really had no idea how much fabric I used or purchased in a year. So this year I'm going to set my goal at 100 yards which is about what I busted in 2009. For the last couple months I've been measuring fabric in my stash and added it all together and know how much fabric I have. I have 754 yards of quilting fabric in my stash. I still have a couple large tubs of non quilt worthy fabric to be counted yet before I get my true amount of my stash. Here's my quilt fabric stash. Folded fabric on the shelves, cut strips in 3 larges drawer units and cut squares in 3 smaller drawer units, odds and ends in 5 tubs still need to be sorted, 2 large tubs not in picture of non quilting fabric. Hopefully by the end of the year I won't have any fabric on top of the shelves and the tubs will be empty. Good luck to all the stash busters this year here we go!!!

Hour glass little quilt


Here what's on my wall a little quilt that needs binding. It's not quit square so I'm eyeing it to see if I want to let it go or trim the border uneven to square up the outside. (Top is bigger then the bottom)

Last 2009 Stash Report

The little quilt I wanted to get done by Christmas. Still need to sew down the binding should be done by next year.
Last stash report for the year. Guess I've been a little absent from reporting the last couple months. But I was still keeping track. So for the year

Used 229 yds
Added 137yds 26"
I busted 91 yds 10"


I plan to keep track again next year but only report monthly. I enjoyed keeping track the pro was I did really evaluate any purchases a lot closer and am sure would of purchased a lot more fabric if I wasn't keeping track. The con was I started a few to many quilts because they would use up more fabric then finishing the ones that were almost done. Since I counted fabric out of stash once it was cut for a quilt.
I think for this year I want to bust 50 yds report monthly, and make a bucket list of quilting goals for the year. And get my project count down to a lot better number.

Binding



This quilt has been on the bed in the guest bedroom for a month. I finally brought it out and I am going to get the binding sewn down before the end of the year. Other then that not a lot of quilting going on here. Guess you need a break from it now and then.

2009 Stash Report week 46

Week 46 guess I missed a few weeks.
For the year I'm at 61 yds busted. Far short of my goal of 150 for the year but 61 yards is pretty good for me. I did manage to do some mindless sewing and get this string quilt top done. And to use up some yardage I whipped up the backing too.
Check out Judy's blog to see what other quilters have been up to this week.



It wasn't windy today she didn't have to hold the quilt down!
