Stash Report 2/27/11

Another secret block made, so there's an 1/8 of a yard and some more siggie blocks for another 1/4 yd.  About 1/2 yd went to the donation box for squares for charity quilts, so I used a grand total of 7/8th yard.

None bought - too busy this week to even think about buy fabric even though I went to Jo-An's on wednesday.  But I just bought buttons and thread.  It's going to be easier to not buy as my closest Jo-Ann's is now 16 miles away, and not in the way I do errands either.

Used/Donated this week: ..88 yards
Used/Donated Yr to date: 12.6 yards
Added this wk: 0.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: -3.5 yards
-------------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Used 9.1 yards.

My Mug Rug - a Friday Favorite

I have a mug rug - I didn't know that! In that box I was going through I discovered that my forward thinking daughter, made a mug rug 8 years ago, 2003.  How's that for being ahead of the curve? She crossstitched the flower.  I am going to clear a space on my desk to put it and enjoy it.  Thank you, Em, once again.  You know how much I like flowers.  It's amazing what one finds in those destashing boxes.

PS:  that's  my favorite mug too - not for the size but the saying.

PPS:  What's your friday favorite. Let us know at Shay's Quilting in my Pajamas where she hosts favorite things friday

Thursday progress 2/25/11

 This doesn't look like much, but it really was a big deal for me.  This is one box that is now empty.  Yay!  I'm still working on the tax form and wanted to be sure no little slip of paper (translate to receipt) had somehow wound up in this box that was in the computer room.  Came out to be filled with mostly quilty stuff like batting, a couple of patterns, and a big batch of Australian Patchwork & Quilting mags plus a couple of books.  I'm pleased to announce I put those in their places, decided to toss half the mags, put the batting in the batting pile, patterns in the pattern place and now have an empty box to next put things that are going away, away, away! Destashing happened. Back to schedule C!
