Second - I finally bound my first VA wheelchair quilt. This has been a long time in getting done (January is when I think I started it). Measures 36 by 44, and here it is folded and ready to hand in at the guild meeting next Tuesday.
Thirdly, did a little more culling and used a 1/4 yard to bind the above quilt, so I used/donated 6.5 yards this past week for my destashing. Here are my numbers:
Used/Donated last week: 6.5 yards
Used/Donated YTD: 139.19 yards
Added/Bought last week: 0.0 yards
Added/Bought YTD: 35.54 yards
------------------------------
Net Decrease YTD: 103.65 yards.
How are you doing on you destashing? I've reached my goal of 100 for the year! Yeah, but it's not the way I wanted to do it - with most of it donated. However, progress is progress - there's a tiny bit of free space showning in my stash bookcase. Maybe I'll get to free some fabric from their box coffins - LOL. Who knows what treasures I have.
Lastly, I'm linking with Judy at Patchwork Times. Go see how others are doing with their destash.
100 yards - congrats for reaching your goal. Someone will take your donated fabric and make beautiful quilts. I like the term "fabric coffins". Fabric is so much easier to use when it can be seen on a shelf.
ReplyDeleteWonderful goal to reach. And donating fabric is a wonderful thing. What do you mean fabric coffins.. you have MORE fabric?? My goodness. I could only dream. Lately I've been dreaming of moving my quilting room into our un-used game room. I mentioned it to DH and he didn't even flinch, so I'm gonna go for it.. LOL. It is a BIG room.
