stash report September 27, 2026

I went to our Saturday open sew. These were the new bag of scraps I was gifted. I was hoping to find some black and gray. There was black Christmas, but, I don't think they will work for my new project- crackers and jam

We have a new team hosting our open sew, and they are really fun. Games and prizes and great snacks.

 stash report September 27, 2026

fabric added this week: 0 yards

 fabric added year to date for 2026:  17 yards  

fabric used this week:  15 yards -stack and whack leaves is finished 

54 x 64

fabric used year to date for 2026: 139 yards  

I have used  138 yards more than I have added. 

I sewed 3 days last week. 

I have tried to add a few strips of wool every day, hoping that it will eventually help finish this wonderful rug. The Christmas tree is a fun diversion.

Here is where I will begin again to make progress on  Christmas in new England rug. Maybe, this Christmas?

I have decided to switch to the other side and work left to right, to make sure the colors are used all through the rug. It's a really slow start, but, a start none the less.

week 5 yellow scraps

We have a 5th week in  August for the rainbow scrap challenge. I was able to work on my monthly ufo. My stack and whack leaves. quilt is a top. I added a small orange border and a larger yellow gold  border. Luckily, I had a Saturday of open sew with my guild.

56 x 64

In other news, While I was checking the leader/ ender challenge, at Quiltville. I went crazy and bought a new pattern called crackers and jam. It is a paper pieced tiny block. I didn't realize it was paper pieced when I bought it. I can use some of the tiniest scraps. So far, I enjoy making the blocks, but, again, I don't know if I have the time, considering I have so many ufos I would like to finish.

week 4 yellow scraps

Thanks to Sara, I realized I forgot the quiltville leader/ender challenge this year.  It's called tulip swirl. I made a few in yellow for the month of August. I don't really have room for another block idea. But, I do have smaller 2 1/2 inch strips that I could use and see them disappear.

I made the 9 patch chaining blocks for candy chains. I have purple to go.

I was a little bold in my choices for backgrounds for rolling windmills.

square dance is finished for August. This yellow is very bright.

All the sashing pieces are done for stack and whack leaves. I am ready for borders.

yellow scraps week 3

I am adding sashing to my stack and whack leaves . I usually will do anything to avoid sashing, ( I find it tedious), but these blocks need something in between them.

I like candy chains in yellow. I still have the 9 patch chaining blocks to do.

My 2 1/2 squares drawer is 60 squares lighter after adding borders to square play 

While I was piecing the borders for square play, I grabbed my 2 inch drawer of  squares to make 16 patches for square dance.

yellow scraps week 2

 I was able to start assembly of stack and whack leaves . I started it in 2012. It was on my ''I don't need to finish this '' list. But, I saw the colors in my project box closet, and checked how much it would take to finish it. It was doable. Interesting fabrics younger me picked.

I was tempted to just sew the purple  candy chains  I had cut, thinking it was going to be a purple month. 

Again, I had already cut for purple, but, I really like yellow square play blocks.

While I was cutting rolling windmills, I pulled out shorter pieces for my stashbuster quilt. And, then, I cut a few sets that I pieced.

I even cut for rolling windmills.
