After bringing home a bunch of fabric last weekend, I got going Monday morning to see if I could use some fabric. I started by looking for some fabric for the back of the quilt I made at my retreat last fall. This is the quilt I want to finish so that I can take it back this year for show and tell.
I also passed by some cute fabric in my stash that I decided would be good for a baby boy blanket. I got the semi-four patch made with flannel on Monday and then sent it off to my mom so she could embroider the baby's name on it before I put it together with a piece of cotton and burp it to make a blanket.
I also pulled some other fabric to work on finishing a cross-stitch. This is a new way of finishing a project that I haven't tried before, so I am anxious to see how it works. I will share pictures when I've gotten that together.
I am only counting the Crossroads back and the baby quilt flannel this week because those are the only fabrics that I actually cut. I have a busy week this week, so am not sure I will get in much sewing, but at least I have a few things lined up when I have time!
Fabric added this week: 0 yards
Fabric used this week: 4 7/8 yards
Fabric added year to date: 36 5/8 yards
Fabric used year to date: 46 1/2 yards
Net fabric used: 9 7/8 yards
I took a look at the same week last year to see how my numbers are, and found that I have bought more (almost x3) and used more (just a couple yards) than the same time last year. I guess I am still being productive, but don't have quite the nice net total that I had at this time last year!
Hope you had a great week with your stash!
