stash report July 19, 2020

Before Bluprint closed, I bought a mystery fat quarter bundle on sale. I hadn't opened it, until just recently. I can't say I would have picked up these fat quarters, if, I were in a store, But, I am glad I didn't have to go to a store. These will be fun when I need to play with fabric.


Stash report  July 2020

Fabric Used this week: 27 yards - I finished square dance
Fabric Used year to Date: 219.25 yards

Fabric Added this week: 5 yards  
Fabric Added Year to Date: 97.75 yards
net fabric: 121.5 yards used more than bought

I sewed at least 15 minutes per day - I am plugging away at Jamestown landing

I am still working on my snowman rug background. It is a large rug, so, it will just take time. I enjoy hooking the background. It is the mindless chain piecing of the rug making project.


I am trying to make swirls and unexpected lines to add texture and interest.

    I wouldn't have picked the large florals, but you did get some nice neutrals and small scale prints. The rug is so cute and will be stunning when finished. Not sure I could bring myself to walk on it.

    Another good week on the stash busting and stitching fronts. That's a lot of background in your snowman run, so you've got lots of mindless stitching to do there.

    I have to admit my husband bought me one of the mystery boxes from them years and years ago - I think there were 50 fqs in it - I still have plenty of them that I cut up here and there and stick in scrap quilts - not what I would have picked out either but come in handy for scraps

    The orange/pink/green fabric would give me pause, but I like the others that you received. You are making great progress on that snowman rug.

    Your snowman rug is just amazing! I saw this demonstrated once when I was travelling out east and it was fascinating to me. But I really don't want to fall in love with another hand stitching hobby! I will enjoy seeing updates on yours!

    Those fat quarters looklike they have potential for a variety of projects! Your snowman project is coming along. Those long finishes make for an even sweeter finish.
