No dent in my stash this week, although I did get my geese sewn together and one more row sewn together on the music quilt.
On the other hand, I did bring fabric into the house. Last Sunday, when Sandra, the list mom from Stashbusters, was in town, we got together for a visit. She gave me a couple of potholders she made (and I've enjoyed using this week) and a yard of pretty green fabric.
Friday morning I picked up the yardage for the borders to OTR. Saturday another 1 1/2 yards for a bag I'm making for a gift. But it was Saturday afternoon which really caused my stash to grow.
A friend of a friend had fabric from her mother's or grandmother's estate. The boxes contained a little of everything, about 1/2 of it cotton. Of the cotton I brought home 13 pieces. I just finished measuring it. There's 48 1/4 yards there -- but it's all 36" wide. I did some fancy math to figure out what the works out to in 42" wide fabric on the theory that if a pattern today calls for 1 yard of fabric, 1 yard of this vintage fabric won't be enough -- I'll need about 42".
Fabric Added this Week: 47.75 yards
Fabric Added to Date: 98 yards
Fabric Used this Week: 0 yards
Fabric Used to Date: 22.08 yards
Net Stash: +75.92 yards
At this pace your going to have to open a fabric store. Aren't you going the wrong way on this goal?
