I tried the burn test on the wool and it had acrylic in it so I didn't need it. I was able to return it.
I found 4 yards of this flannel for 3.00 as well, and I knew it would make a great back. I even matched it to a quilt waiting to be quilted.
Otherwise, I would feel bad just adding fabric to my stash, after my daughter helped me get rid of so much fabric. So maybe that is the new rule. I have to have a purpose for it.
stash report
Fabric Used this Week 309 1/2 yards

I sewed at least 15 min every day this week except Monday - tooth day
My daughter helped move out 306 yards of fabric. We didn't count each piece, but, we weighed it, and it was a total of 100 pounds. There are usually 3 yards in every pound =300 yards. I know I won't even miss it.
Today I will work on my rug hooking project to slow things down a bit and collect my thoughts on my quilting for next week.

I probably wouldn't miss some of my fabric stash either but I would notice if I moved out that much! you must have a large stash
ReplyDeleteHand stitching is the perfect way to slow down the thoughts and refocus!
ReplyDeleteGood for you losing 100 pounds this week! LOL
Wow, you did move out a lot of fabric! Buying only if you have a project in mind sounds like a really good idea. Hope you get in lots of rug hooking time today.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think 300 yards would wipe out my stash, but probably not. It would empty a dresser though. I'm sure it felt good to get rid of it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a burn test for wool...I'm going to have to look into that. Of course, I haven't gotten (though I really want to start) to the stage where I thrift for wool. I wish I'd thrifted my closet in when I had wool garments! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a whole lot of fabric. I rarely buy any fabric unless there is a purpose as I don't have the storage room. Enjoy your rug hooking.
ReplyDeleteWow Wow, that is a ton of fabric to get rid of. If you won't miss it then it is good to have it gone.
