... It just keeps flowin'
I had done a pretty good job of keeping the purchases in check this year -- mainly because I've become a stitching hermit and I delete quilt shop emails without even reading them. But once I started buying, well ....
Another trip to The Quilting Squares resulted in 4.25 yards in. I needed some less-busy fabrics to neutralize the active prints in this Five and Dime project.

A $5/yd purchase from a friend gave me an additional 6 yards. Red, yellow, and purple tone-on-tones are always useful. I had already gone through as much from an earlier purchase several years ago and I was pleased that she still had some in stock (and that she could locate it after two recent moves).
Weekly Stash Report -August 23, 2015
In last week: 10.25 yards
Out last week: 00.00 yards
In year to Date: 150.25 yards
Out Year-to-Date: 121.50 yards
Net Used 28.75 yards
At this point last year I had purchased more, also used more, and still I was 35.75 in the hole. So I'm improving, right?

Purchases for a purpose or bargain prices for yardage you know you'll use are all good. I agree, much better to delete all those emails than to be tempted.
ReplyDeleteI like how this is turning out! Looking forward to seeing more of it. I haven't gotten my machine unpacked since the retreat! I did get those four quilts delivered to the quilter and picked up a queen-sized one of mine that I have to bind now, as soon as I can get the binding made and attached - maybe next weekend. :-P Sharon B in Franklin
