Stash Report Week # 30

Six inch blocks don’t make a very big dent in the stash. I made two last week. Hunter Star, E10 in Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler and D6 – Odd Fellows Patch.

Another week of computer and phone issues, so no sewing. I did bring into the house 4 fat eights from the Kansas Troubles Stash Society Meeting.

Stash Report Week # 28

Too many computer issues to get even a minute of quilting in. So the report is short and sweet. Nothing in, nothing used. And it’s driving me crazy!

Stash Report Week # 27

All I got done this week was cutting up half the scrap basket into usable pieces. I’ll count those pieces when I pull them to use in a quilt. So, the only thing I “used” was 1 1/4 yards of the purple striped batik I bought last week as vacation souvenirs. I gave each of my quilting buddies a FQ at dinner Thursday night.

Stash Report Week # 26


Judy over at Patchwork Times has pointed out that we are halfway through the year. Am I as far along as I’d like to be with my stash? My goal was simple. Keep track. And good or bad, I’ve done that. It has been an eye opener for me. It has also made me more conscious of my purchase. I’d like to think it has slowed my purchases down, but I couldn’t say for certain. I do know that I think about each purchase I do.

So how did my stash go this week? I cut fabric from my stash to make several cool ties (got 3 made before the outdoor concert last week)and I made another block for the Kansas Spirit quilt. Most of pile of green scraps has been cut up as well — but I’ll count those when I use them. I also worked on my red work snowmen.

The inbound fabric is 3 1/2 yards. 1 1/2 yards of the purple stripe batik, 1 yard of the plaid and 1 yard of the blue Ice print.

So here’s report:

Stash Report Week # 25

This week I finished a UFO, made a birthday swap block, started and nearly finished a new project all from stash — if you don’t count thread. I didn’t have anything remotely close to use on a Kansas Troubles table runner, so a quick trip to to the store was in order.

Since thread was 50% off, not only did I buy the three spools of Gutermann color # 561, I also picked up spool of Coats & Clark in Caramel. It’s a great color to use on just about everything (except Ks Troubles)and I’m about out. I’m happy to say that I walked in, picked up my thread and was back out the store doors with out even looking at fabric.

The table runner is bound but I am considering some raw edge applique flowers to each end so I’ve not declared it done.

Stash Report Week # 23

I’m happy to report no new purchases this week, and that I actually got some piecing done.

I completely ignored the handquilting I should be doing to do a bit of piecing. A Kansas Spirit block was due to the LQS, so I got it done timely and then came home and made two more. So there’s one left to make.

I quilted Cherry Frolic, so used the backing and binding fabric I purchased last week, and I finally finished cutting the border for my Pink & Brown quilt. I also prepared the binding for the quilt so I move the ‘scraps’ into my stash and out of the project box.

Stash Report Week #22

I suppose waiting until nearly 10 PM does not make my stash report any better. My LQS had a sale on pre-cuts last week. I stopped by on Saturday to specifically to pick up my copy of Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler which I had ordered, but also picked up a jelly roll and charm pack. And backing and binding fabric. The fabric is Oh-Cherry-Oh by Me & My Sister for Moda.
I’m making a smaller version (40″ x 48″) of Fall Frolic from 40 Fabulous Quick-Cut Quilts by Evelyn Sloppy. I finished all the blocks yesterday and just need to sew them into a top now.

In addition to the fabric I purchased, a friend gave me a pretty purple FQ and I won a door prize – a charm pack of Symphony and a pattern.

So, without further ado:

Stash Report Week # 21

This was not a good week for Stash Busting. My Birthday FQs arrived and then I took a road trip.

When I was home this week I spent time hand quilting quilting, but I did decide I had to do a bit of piecing and made one 12″ block.

Stash Report Week #20

Didn’t buy anything when I passed through the quilt shop Saturday, so nothing new purchased. Had I not sat down and quickly made the Peacock quilt top, there would have been nothing used either. I’ve been slowly working on my nephew’s quilt. Finished the 4th block and started the 5th last night.
