Stash Report

Somehow it feels like a slooow moving process for me to get anywhere using my stash. I always use some, but it feels more like a turtle moving aimlessly in circles. Not to mention that my sewing time during the week has decreased lately and the weekend is sewing catch-up time.

I managed to get 33 house blocks done or rather started for the house block gather from Bumble Beans - yeah!

I came across a fabric with Cabana style houses, fuzzy cut them and added 2 borders to reach the required 10 1/2 inch size. All in all I really like them - although they are different and some may call them cheated. Oh well - you can't please everybody (photos in tomorrow's design wall Monday post).

So I bought this 3/4 yrd house fabric. And I also made the 1st block for the Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt along and used for all these blocks about 2.5 yrds of fabric. I finished quilting the baby panel quilt, but it had already been counted in the stash report when I loaded it onto the machine.

It is March, so I really hope to get to my year goal of over 100 yards used in 2010 ( net), but I know I am more physically active during summer and will spend more time outdoors than indoors sewing...

Currently it's the 'in between time' for exercising: no xc skiing any longer, but I also haven't managed to get any inline skating in. Hopefully that will start soon. I probably could have squeezed 1 x skating in on one evening, but somehow I couldn't motivate myself. The first skate of the year/ season is always painful for me - and anything else but graceful or aesthetically pleasing. No technical and artistic marks, please...

That's my report from SE Michigan. Please check out other people across the country and beyond and see if they are faring better at stash busting - please go to Judy's blog here!

I am better off and getting my taxes done - fun, fun, fun.
