Stash Report 10/14/12

Hello! Back to a sort of normal week(I did enjoy the DGKs, just don't like it being so busy days on end), yeah! And although my Applique Thursday post was almost late, I do have a giveaway this week also.  You can still link or comment until midnight Wednesday by going here.

 I hope to get more quilting done in between the housecleaning for company here at the end of the month. So far pulled 2 1/4 yards for a St Anne's rag quilt.  Another 2 yards for another VA quilt. 

Here are my numbers:
Used/Donated last week: 4.25 yards
Used/Donated YTD:   152.69  yards
Added/Bought last week:  0.0 yards
Added/Bought YTD:    36.04 yards
------------------------------
Net Decrease YTD:   116.65 yards.  It's nice to be seeing some empty spots in my stash again! 

How are you doing destashing?  Really pays to go over your fabric and give some away.  Bet there's a local charity near you that could use a few yards.  Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times and see how others are doing.

And just because we had a cold spell for a few days and roses like to second bloom in the fall, here's the first of my roses coming back for a farewell bouquet:

  1. You are doing a great job on keeping your stash down! The exact opposite of me LOL! I did give away quite a lot to Confessions of a Fabric Addict for their quilt ministry a month or so ago. That worked out great for both of us! Our roses are still blooming so far - we'll see how far they go into fall :*)

  2. Hey, congrats. Your numbers look fantastic. I am just working on creating a stash, and making it look like an organized place to put fabric. I hope that it will look nice in the end. I am creating a nice crafting area. What do you store your fabric in? I have a cabinet I am going to use that has square sections, and I think I will put different colors in the different squares. Atleast that is the idea for now. I also have covered shoebox like things for fat quarters, and have put the different colors of fat quarters in those. Love to see the colors through the clear shoe boxes.

 Sighhhh....  While I was quilting I  ran my finger, somehow, under the needle. Went right through my left index fingernail right through to...
