Corrrected stash report

Yikes and thanks to Nancy at Life Takes a Turn.  My math was pretty fuzzy today.

I went back through all my stash reports to double check.  I had earlier reported some awkward fractions of 1/6 and 2/3 yards.  Last report I decided to round them up or down or something and apparently that started my slide on the slipper slope.

So, the report in all accuracy should read.



Stash Report

Used this week   1 12/3 yards
used year to date   13 2/3 yards
added this week     0 yards
Added year to date  13 1/2 yards

Net used      1/6 of a yard

Since I'm back on this post, I wanted to show you one of my latest sock finishes.  This is Paradise Blue Glimmer Hand Dyed from Grant Creek Yarns.  It looks like denim with silver threads.  The pattern is Simple Skyp, a free pattern from Adrienne Ku on Ravelry.  It is an easy pattern to use.  Thanks for telling us about it, Judy L.






Stash Report April 8th

I have only done a little sewing this week.  I am making wine totes for gifts.  I have finished one and 3 in various stages of completion.  I used this tutorial with some minor adjustments of my own.  I did not quilt the first one and I can see that was a mistake.  Quilting will give them more body.  I am counting all the fabric as they are all cut out and mostly finished.

Stash Report April 1st

Can you believe that a 1/4 of the year has already flown past?  Wow I have lots of catching up to do.

This is my SIL (on the right) with her first quilt.  She made it with help from our friend Donna while they were visiting each other.  Another convert!




Stash Report

Used this week   7 1/2 yards (disposed of)
used year to date   13 3/4 yards
added this week     0 yards
Added year to date  15 1/4 yards

Net gained    4 3/4 yards

I donated 7 1/2 yards of fabric for donation quilts.  These were novelty fabrics that I probably would not have used anytime soon.  Feels good to have them go somewhere they will be used and useful.
