Fabric Sale Temptation

      GD Mattie is getting her bedroom redecorated and I was pleased that she asked me to make her a new quilt. She shared a photo of color inspiration so I shopped my stash for the needed fabric. I found 2 suitable pieces in my stash and decided to shop the store for the others. When I checked Hobby Lobby's sale fabric I found more than I needed and could not resist the price of $3 a yard. I came home with 5 fabrics for a total of 21 yards so I am in the red on my goal of decreasing my fabric stash.

Stash Report for 2023

this past week-  Used: 9 yds      Added: 21 yds
So far this year- Used:10.83 yds    Added: 21 yds
Net decrease -10.17 yds

Goals for last week:

1. Make progress on a comfort quilt - Done   One was sandwiched and found a back for another.

2. Start applique stitching on Celtic Fantasy - Done   Ricky Tims suggests use of the triple blanket stitch which is very time consuming. I have completed the triple blanket stitch on 3 of 21 sections which took about 8 hours.

   
   
   
   
   
   

3. Tidy up a shelf of fabric odds and ends - Done I chose two small sections of my fabric shelves. They are more organized plus I found several things to donate.
