Stash Report - Weeks 47-50, 2013

The stash has been slowly moving along over the last few weeks. I've quilted a few things, made a couple bags, and pulled fabric to make some new stuff.  Despite a little bit of progress, I don't have much stash to count as used. 

I did make these cute laminate fabric bags for teacher/friend gifts, but realized that I didn't count the laminate fabric when it came in, so can't count it going out. Even so, I am glad to have these done a full week before school is out.  I still haven't figured out what to make for Jenna's male teacher - I got my hobbies mixed up - he isn't into photography, but videography/stop motion videos....so the camera strap, while an excellent idea, isn't the right fit for him.  I may make him some kind of thing to go on his desk to hold pencils/notepads, etc.  Or, I may just buy a gift card :)

I have also gotten some good quilting done and this is where the little bit of stash that's been used has come from. Two backs and a little bit from the stash for one of the tops. I will show pictures of these after they've been gifted, but here's a sneak peek at the back of one of the two table runners/toppers I quilted last night (thanks to an afternoon snooze and caffeine with dinner!). 
Christmas quilting
So, here's the tally of my usage over the last four weeks:
Fabric added: 0 yards
Fabric used: 2 yards

Fabric added year to date: 22 7/8 yards
Fabric used year to date: 73 yards

Net fabric used: 50 1/8 yards (nice to be back over the 50 yard mark - let's hope I can finish the year there!)

Hope you're having a great time with your stash whether it be fabric, paper, yarn, or christmas decorations!

How is it working with the laminate? Haven't tried that yet.
Great job on your usage! I'm hoping to do better in the New Year. lol
