Just before Memorial Day my sister-in-law Kathy and I made a quick road trip to Rapid City to pick up my granddaughter. Kathy's a quilter too, so we just had to stop in a couple of quilt shops. I enhanced the stash with 5.25 yards of fun fabric. The fat quarters in front are some I picked out to used for more of the car blocks using the Row By Row license plates. The middle row will fit into my Temecula Circa 2016 project.
That wasn't my biggest sewing/quilting purchase this past couple of weeks however. I replaced my sewing machine too and am glad that I'm not counting dollars spent on quilting. But then again maybe I should be.
I used 1.25 yards of the feather fabric to cut 6" squares for my guild. And I dug into some "adopted" stash and finished a very simple large quilt top to count another 4.5 yards used this week. I need to remember to take a photo to post. I plan to donate that quilt top somewhere. And I'm donating another 5 yards of fabric from that adopted stash to be used for a charity project at guild.
In this month: 5.25 yds
In this year: 61.25 yds
Out this month: 10.75 yds
Out this year: 63.75 yds
It's difficult to pick a favorite out of this group of fabric - a great selection.
ReplyDeleteGreat additions to your stash Sara!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the row by row this year. You made a nice haul. What machine did you buy?
