Merry Christmas and Stash Report 12/25/11

Merry Christmas one and all. God's blessings in the coming New Year.  Last week I attended the last guild board meeting for the year and took fat quarters to give away (another way of continuing to destash - hehe).  Gave away 17 fat quarters for a total of 4.25 yards.  I also made 3 blocks during the week for another fat quarter, so I have a grand total of 4.5 yards for this last week of reporting!  Here are my numbers:
Used/Gifted/Donated 4.5 yards
Used/Donated Yr to date: 112.46 yards
Added this wk: 0.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: - 12 yards
-----------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Used: 100.46 yards

Woohoo!  I made my goal!  I am so pleased.  There is still a lot left, but if I can do it again in 2012 - I may be able to buy fabric in 2013.  Pathetic - but one must keep positive.

How did you do?  Any stash busting is good! Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times on my sidebar and see how others did.
Happy Holidays!

Design Wall 12/19/11

Coverlet is now off the wall, and I'll post it soon.  Quite happy with it.  On my wall right now, and not for long as I have to gift it tomorrow evening, is this:

A fat quarter to whomever can guess how many sides it's going to have.  I made one 50 years ago.

Blessings as we prepare for Christmas.

Stash Report 12/19/11

Very busy week and this upcoming one will be busy also. The quilts I have been working on didn't require new material from the stash.  Did make 2 hearts so that used up an eighth yard and then I came up with a bright idea of wrapping some presents with fabric for the seamstresses in my life.  I've used 1.25 yards doing that and here's the first one I came up with (also got a button out the door too, LOL).  The others have gone to their recepients already so can't show you those. Oh, I hope I can find a large box to wrap!  Here are my numbers:

Used/Donated 1.25 yards
Used/Donated Yr to date: 107.96 yards
Added this wk: 0.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: - 12 yards
-----------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Used: 95.96 yards

You can see how others are doing on their stashes at Judy's Patchwork Place. You'll find a button to her blog in my sidebar.  How did you do?

Favorite Things Friday - 12/16/11

Thursday was my birthday. And Wednesday I found this wonderful deal at the grocery store: A pound of Blackberries for 4 dollars!! So I had to make a birthday pie. Oh, DH did treat me to some yummy cookies when we went out to eat, but this was my very special treat to me as I love pie.  LOL - had so much to eat on my birthday, I had to wait until Friday lunch to have a piece.  It is yummy!!

So I broke down and had a nice cup of tea with it.
