Week 51

Fabric In This Week: 0 yards
Fabric In This Year: 132.451 yards

Fabric Out This Week: 4.125 yards
Fabric Out This Year: 215.109 yards

Total Fabric Busted: 82.658 yards

I came close to my 5 yards goal, I am happy with that. I made a few bags for gifts to go in, 4 more potholders, a pillowcase and started the Dinner With Scott quilt. I am still working on the binding for the client quilt.

This week my goal is 7.5 yards. That will take me to 90 yards busted and only 14 yards short of my goal. I will be very happy with that. I need to make 4 more potholders this week, a crib sheet, and a few toys for the toy society. I will have to pull out a UFO to work on too.

How is everyone else doing with their Stash Busting Goals this year? Anyone going to join up next year? I am!

I am making a come back. I am only down 22.367 yards as of this week. I still have a chance of making my goal of 104 yards busted.

This last week I got the backing to Lunch With Friends down, it will go to the quilter Wednesday. I also made a pillow case, 4 potholders, toys for the Toy Society and a few other things.

My goal for this next week is 5 yards. I have other Christmas stuff to get done. I still have a pillow case, 8 potholders, and more toys. That should be at least 4 yards of fabric. I am hoping to start my dinner with Scott quilt too. The first thing I need to sew is the binding on the client quilt.

I did so good not buying fabric this week, until 3pm on Saturday! Can you believe it I had 9 hours to go. We walked into Cabin Fever Quilt Shop in Auburn. They had Olivia fabric on Clearance and they had Beer fabric. Daphne needed 1.5 yards of both of the Olivia fabrics and Scott has been on a 8 year mission for beer fabric, 1.5 yards of that too.

I didn't do any big sewing this week. Everything I did was 1/4 or 1/8 of a yard. I did make a few toys for the Toy Society. I have an alien and a ladybug in the box for the Christmas toy drop. Friday night I whipped up a robot to drop in Auburn. I also have a doll in parts for the box.

This weeks goals 10 yards, I know I keep saying that. I do have 2 pillow cases to make this week. If they get done they are a yard each. I also wanted to piece the back for my Bento Box quilt. I am thinking of cutting a top for another quilt. IF I get all of that done I will be close to my 10 yards. Plus I need to make 3 or 4 toys this week for the box.

What is your goal this week?

I am not sure if I will make my goal of 104 yards busted. I am still 30 yards away. I will try. I know I can get to 90 yards. That will be my big push. I am still hoping for 104 yards though.

My goal this week will be 5 yards. I think I am aiming high but it is worth a try. I hope to finish another project for a client, a pillow case and a crib sheet.

Then sewing for me! I have a wall hanging that I need to finish and mail by Friday and I have started a Bento Box for me. This is the first time I have made one, so far I really like it. I found a cheater way to do it. I would like the top of that done this weekend too.
