Stash report

I have been negligent about posting lately and I want to change that.  I have been pretty good about not adding to my stash!

I attended the quilt show last month in Tucson with friends.  We took a bus from one of the local shops from Phoenix.  It was great fun, there were snacks and contests and prizes and none of us had to drive.  The show was wonderful and those lassies not only know how to quilt but they also know how to put on a show.  I won a FQ on the trip home and I also received a free FQ at a shop we stopped at.

I am currently working on a mug rug swap sponsored by the Quilting  Gallery and Mishka's Playground.  The rugs are based on a set pattern and the theme is this years Winter Olympics.  I am a little behind but hope to have completed enough to post for design wall tomorrow.

I had some Arizona State fabric in my stash and I wanted another Arizona fabric to include in the mug rug.  I purchased a yard of fabric with saguaro cactus and Native American symbols.  I also found a batik that had Thunderbird symbols on it, so I purchased some to send with the mug rug as a bonus.

So I have added 2 yards to my stash this year and I have not used any-I can only improve from here.

I wanted to remind you about the Traveling Stash Box as well.  It is currently in the hands of the Cynical Quilter and she is looking for someone else to pass it on to.  Check out her blog.

Stash Report Sunday

Shopping again this week!   I had a 50% off coupon and I hunted down several end of bolt fabrics (each 20% off)-I feel so thrifty...BUT that's not what the total said.

I found some more neutrals for my collection and 2 different blue fabrics.  One of the neutrals I bought was a wide backing so that can go either way.

Fabric in this week 1 yards
Fabric in 2013:      32 yard
Fabric out since last report:   0 yard
Usage for 2013    11 3/4 yards
Total damage   +20 1/4 yards

Bit and pieces of sewing but nothing countable yet.  Check out the other stash reports at Patchwork Times.

Stash report Sunday 3/31/2013

I have been sewing but there is nothing to count out just yet.  I did however, go shopping with 2 of my quilting friends.  My stash is sorely lacking in background/neutral/small prints.  I found several suitable prints and most of them were end of bolt so I was able to use sales/coupons/end of bolt discounts to make myself feel better.  I also bought a dark blue wide backing fabric for my next QOV and a nice red print and a red/white/blue diagonal stripe for my QOV stash.

Fabric in this week 20 yards
Fabric in 2013:      21 yard
Fabric out since last report:   0 yard
Usage for 2013    11 3/4 yards
Total damage   +9 1/4 yards

Stash report 5/8/2011

Happy Mother's Day to all my quilting buddies.

I got the backing assembled for my Ladybug Hugs Quilt and it is at the quilters.  My new great niece was born on May 3rd and of course, she is just gorgeous.  Her name is Julia and she looks just like her 3 year old brother, RJ.

I have already made the binding and cut the remaining fabric up for my scrap collection.  I have even used some pieces in my current leader and ender project.

Used this week...5 yards
Used year to date...11 3/4 yards
added this week...0 yards
added this year   13 yards

Net gained...2 1/4 yards

I have started another Linus Project Quilt from a friends contributed stash.  I won't count the yardage as it will all be used this week.  Here's a peak at the blocks and backing material.
