My birthday was last week, and for the last few years I’ve participated in a Birthday FQ Swap. These are the beautiful fabrics which I received.
I also participated in a new to me shop hop. Some fabric came home with me — but not much. A few FQs and a charm pack for my Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler, one just because, a music (it’s hard to stop collecting those) and a 2 yard piece which I’ll probably use for the backing of the 2nd baby quilt from my Carolina Christmas blocks. This shop hop did a shop hop quilt, and since the theme was red, white & blue I only bought the blocks since I’ll put them with the red, white and blue blocks I received in the birthday block swap I’m participating in (post on that later). Since some of the shops have pre-cut the pieces and I just have to sew them together, I’m not going to count that fabric in — nor will I count it out.
I did get some sewing done this week and some I was able to count in this week’s report. Borders sew for the baby quilt and enough blue and white or red and white bricks sewn together to make 34 Star Struck blocks.
Now the numbers (corrected):
Fabric Added this Week: 10.75 yards
Fabric Added to Date: 134.556 yards 120.181 yards
Fabric Used this Week: 3.819 yards
Fabric Used to Date: 42.882 yards
Net Stash for 2010: 91.674 yards 77.299 yards
Are we sure this is not a race to see who can collect 100 yards? Check out how others are doing by following the links over at Patchwork Times.
For some of us, that race is the real purpose. LOL
