After being so proud of my stashbusting efforts this summer, it may seem odd that I went fabric shopping. Honestly, I’ll blame the quilts. The Assistant and I have spent significant time over the last two weeks plotting a flower quilt based off an inspiration photo. I had a pleasantly large stack of fabrics that would work, but we had some important gaps to fill (hello, darker greens. I wiped out my selection in the green quilt earlier this year) and ordered the backing while I was at it. We also ordered for a second quilt that is still only a selection of colors in our minds.
Unfortunately, one order hasn’t arrived yet, two weeks later, so I may have to reorder somewhere else. Maybe it’s a good thing, as by finishing the watercolor quilt and making some curtains for my atrium at school (basically, my classroom), I maintained my usage at twice my purchases still.
IN this week: 11 yards
OUT this week: 8 1/4 yards
IN YTD: 82 yards
OUT YTD: 166 1/2 yards
YTD Total: 84 1/2 yards OUT
Another good week for hand stitching means I’ve worked on my hexagons (or occasionally on bindings) for 256 of 260 days in 2022.
