2009 Stashbusting Report Week 52

Well I have not busted any staash since my last report.  I did do some sewing, however no stash was busted as it was for swap blocks and I will get back what I used in blocks.  So I guess I can't count that fabric.  Darn! 

So here goes the report:

Fabric added this week 0 yards

Total fabric added this year 80 yards

Fabric used this week 0 yards

Total fabric used this year 73 1/2 yards

Total fabric busted this year -6 1/2 yards

Not bad considering I did add 80 yards this year!  The past day or two I have been going through swap blocks, kits, etc and listing what I have in those realms.  My goal is to get some of this out of here this year!

Week 49-A according to Judy Stashbusting!

I used up a little more fabric this week working on Christmas presents/projects.  I just might make it for this year!  I never dreamed I would come this close to breaking even or better.

So here goes the report:

Fabric added this week 0 yards
Total fabric added this year 80 yards

Week 43 Stash Report

I really had to go back and hunt for this!  I still don't have all my fabric added in that I bought while away this summer.  But I have now added in the yardage I purchased in Paducah.  So for now it isn't too bad...but next week it will not be good!  It feels really good to be back sewing again...now if this house cleaning thing would quit interrupting me I could really make some progress. LOL 

So here goes the report:

Fabric added this week 0 yards
Total fabric added this year 56 3/8  yards

Fabric used this week 1 7/8 yards
Total fabric used this year 39 7/8 yards

Total fabric busted this year -16.5 yards

Late Week 10 Stash Report

I have busy the past week or so making HST's and Bear blocks for Judy's Bear's in the Farmhouse quilt along. Really liking how these are turning out. Also made some scrappy hearts for a swap. I ended up at the Quilt Store over the weekend and added to my stash. Some of it is to make more HST's so I have more variety in my bear blocks. I ended up with way too many greens!! Also added some red marble for some QOV Snowball blocks I am making and a stripe for some love quilt borders.

Fabric added this week 3 yards
Total fabric added this year 11 7/8 yards

Fabric used this week 7 7/8 yards
Total fabric used this year 24 1/8 yards

Stash Report Week #1

I consider my first week Stashbusting a success. I was able to make 15 snowball blocks and 6 Jacob's Ladder blocks. These blocks are for online swaps I am involved in and they will hopefully make it into either quilts and/or wallhangings. The snowballs are made out of flannel. I did have to go purchase some flannel to have a better variety. So here goes my first report for 2009!

Fabric Added this Week 2 1/3 yards
Fabric Added Year to Date: 2 1/3 yards

Fabric Used this Week: 5 yards
Fabric Used Year to Date: 2 2/3 yards

Stashbusting in 2009

Awhile back Judy asked in her blog if we were going to participate in stashbusting again this year. I most definately am!! Last year I did pretty good for it being my first year keeping track of what came in and what went out. Was truely an eye opening experiance. So I have downloaded the pledge and am working on that tonight and getting my spreadsheets ready for this year. I have already busted some stash in the past couple days so woohoo I'm off to a good start!
