This past week was somewhat productive. Not a lot of fabric used, but some. Mainly it was for the quilting class (0.65 yards) and for the scrappy quilt (0.42 yards).
My quilting machine did get fixed this week, but not until Saturday morning. Thankfully, it was just thread caught in the bobbin that had caused the timing to get off. That will teach me to use cheap Sulky thread instead of good quality thread. I was trying to get the quilt quilted, so I wasn't picky with my thread and didn't want to wait for Superior to ship. Serves me right...If I had just ordered the good thread and waited, I probably would have gotten the quilt done this past week anyway and wouldn't have broken the machine. oh well...live and learn.
I also ended up buying fabric last week. My cousin is having a baby this summer, so I picked out some nice, bright-colored fabric for the baby quilt. Damages....5.25 yards. There's 2 yards for background material and 13 fat quarters. I only need about half of each fat quarter, but I wanted to get a good variety of colors..so I'll have some left over for another project.
So here's the numbers for this week:
Added This Week: 5.25 yards
Added Year to Date: 37.64 yards
Used This Week: 1.11 yards
Used Year to Date: 16.17 yards
Net Year to Date: 21.47 yards
Still haven't used as much as I have bought. I find that I always buy about 1/4 yard extra for fabrics and then I count only what I actually use. So even when I buy fabric for a quilt and make the quilt, I still have added to the "stash". I have to really get moving on the scrap quilt to use up some of the excess! :-)
