Fabric In This Year: 104.451 yards

Fabric Out This Week: 5.75 yards

Fabric Busted This Year: 67.660 yards

WOW! This week was a HUGE set back. I know I wasn't alone on the shopping binge though. For that 26 yards that I purchase 8 of it was backing for Twisted Christmas and pillow cases, 6 yards was Fleece for 2 Christmas throws for gifts, and the other 12 yards was flannel. JoAnn's had Flannel on sale 60% off, so I stocked up!

I did finish The HHR club donation quilt, worked some on Alice In Wonderland's costume and last I started a Thimbleberries Quilt. I won Thimbleberries fabric and it happens to match one of my Secret Santa partners style.

Fabric In This Year: 78.451 yards

Fabric Out This Week: 9.333 yards
Fabric Out This Year: 166.361 yards

Fabric Busted This Year: 87.910 yards

Not too bad this week! I beat my goal of 3 yards and I got a few projects done. I was able to finish my Freeze Frame quilt top from Judy's Quilt For an Hour, 6 Pillow Cases for Jackie and Hole In The Wall Gang, BOM for Two Creative Studios and I have started the HHR Club quilt that needs dropped off next Saturday. Never mind I am finishing up a Alice In Wonderland costume for a client.

My goals for next week is to break even, 0 yards busted. WAIT let me explain. First JoAnn's has flannel on sale 60% off and I NEED black. If JoAnn's has black flannel I will be purchasing a few yards. Also I will be going to Walnut Creek to have my machine repaired so I might buy fabric too. Then I will be going to the Antioch Quilt Show on Sunday but that wont be counted until week 43. So I am hoping to bust the same amount that I purchase.

My version of Judy's Freeze Frame. I call mine Twisted Christmas.

Starting of the HHR Club quilt. Needs to be delivered next Saturday.

Week 41

Fabric In This Week: 0 yards
Fabric In This Year: 78.451 yards

Fabric Out This Week: 3.5 yards
Fabric Out This Year: 157.028 yards

Fabric Busted This Year: 78.577 yards

This week not much sewing got done. I am trying to finish up Judy's Freeze Frame quilt, I am calling mine Twisted Christmas. I am finishing Hour 10 tonight and hoping to start Hour 11. Having a baby on Hour 9 delayed me a little. I am determined to get this top done this week. I did end up cutting 1 yard of fabric to make the pieced border.

The bulk of my yardage out was 2.5 yards in 2 1/2" strips my mom cut from my stash to use for a class she is taking in 2 weeks. I figure out yardage was out yardage!

This next week I need to finish Twisted Christmas quilt, finish the Alice in Wonderland costume and piece the top for the HHR clubs raffle quilt. I will use some yardage on the two quilts, so my goal this week is 3 yards busted.
