stash report July 26 , 2026

I cleaned up a spot of fabric drippings from a basket where I throw extras. I decided it will be the next scrap cutting project. It may take a while to finish the box.

stash report July 26 , 2026

fabric added this week: 0 yards

fabric added year to date for 2026: 16 1/2 yards

fabric used this week: 0 yards

fabric used year to date for 2026: 79 yards

I have used 77 1/2 yards more than I have added.

I sewed 5days last week.

I am working on my last block for my applique project - across the wide missourri-

I have all the chinking in place for a nice warm cabin but no door for access. That will be the next construction project.

I have made a little progress on my stars and stripes rug. I am using a smaller frame to carry to guild each week. I have to move it more often.

I dyed a new navy piece of wool to use as the background, and, I like it much better. My hubby wanted to hook the background and did a great job.

I can't believe it is the end of July already, and the color aqua will be a fading memory for the rainbow scrap challenge. There are many fabrics that could fit that category, and it has been lovely to pet them all.

I made rolling windmills in aqua.

I needed more aqua strip sets for my stashbuster quilt. I didn't need to check my bag of strips for them. I found enough laying around as I was cleaning up a bit. Not much of a surprise considering the state of my " studio"

I cut a few strip sets into rows.

I sewed 4 days last week.

I am working on my last block for my applique project - across the wide missourri- I have the cabin base in place with 2 rows of chinking. It's getting warmer in the little cabin.

I have made a little progress on my stars and stripes rug. I am using a smaller frame to carry to guild each week. I have to move it more often.

All the stars are done. I tried the blue wool that came with kit. I decidided it is too thin and hard to work. I will search through my stash for a better grade wool.

Aqua is the color of the month for the rainbow scrap challenge. I made some progress.

I made 3 square play blocks

16 patches with 2 inch squares

I made square dance blocks from the 16 patches

star baby quilt finish

yellow baby string quilt. is finished. When I decided to change my pattern for Blue skies, I had leftover yellow string blocks. This is the quilt that I made from those blocks. I was in Florida at the time that I was piecing, and didn't have border fabric with me. I found a men's shirt at a thrift store that I could cut for the border. I waited until I was home to quilt it. yellow is my favorite color which is why I was drawn to the pattern blue skies in the beginning.

46 x 54

I found the backing fabric in my home stash and used it for the binding as well.

stash report July 12 , 2026

I decided to take a bag of scraps with me to sew group. I was not in the mood to take my sewing machine. This bag was given to me by another quilter. Everything was a delightful mystery.

I cut my usual sizes, set aside smaller pieces to make 1 1/2 inch hsts, and kept some larger pieces together that ere coordinates. In the end, it weighed nearly 2 pounds. I hade made 6 yards of useable fabric.
