Stash Report Week #14

Edited to add: No baby as of Saturday night!

Since I might be in labor, I'm going to write my stash report on Friday. I don't know who took this picture, but apparently the Assistant didn't want her picture taken. I've banned her (and DH) from taking pictures of me until the baby's born, so I understand!

This week, I had some finishes (hooray!) First, there were two bibs made from "Petite Pizazz," a book Karol-Ann sent me when she was cleaning house. I altered the pattern a bit, but enjoyed having a pattern and some guidelines on what to d0. (1/2 yard)

My MiL sent some money for me to buy a new Easter dress. Since I'll be nursing, I decided to buy a nursing top and make my own skirt. Of course, that involved buying fabric (3 yards for me, 1 yard for the Assistant), but I already finished the skirt so it's ready for Easter (if I'm not in the hospital!). (2 1/2 yards out)

Then there are 6 placemats I've been working on for a friend who had a baby about 6 months ago, and I never got around to giving her a gift. That would probably be a result of throwing up regularly at 3 months of pregnancy. She visited with her family last week and commented on the placemats we use at our house, and how she should make some. I thought, hey, I can make some for her eventually. I'm glad they're done (3 1/2 yards out).

Finally, I finished a lap quilt for a friend who is the Assistant's godfather. He is getting married in July. There is NO WAY I'll finish a queen-sized quilt by then, so I made a lap quilt. I love the colors and fabric, but I used most of them up in this quilt (it's similar to the baby quilt I made a month or so ago). (5 1/2 yards out)

I also finished up 2 spools of thread (they were partials), to bring my total to 18 use for the year. That does include some spools of thread given away, including 5 spools I gave to my sister yesterday as an early birthday present with my old Singer sewing machine.

I am loving the walking foot on my new machine and am seeing how far I can get another baby quilt before I say to DH, "I think it's time to go to the hospital." Of course, it could still be early labor for a long time. I'm just going to try to make it through the next couple kicks and contractions.

IN this week: 4 yards

IN YTD: 83 1/4 yards

OUT this week: 12 yards

OUT YTD: 96 1/4 yards

YTD total: 13 yards OUT
