Because I was at the beach last week, I never got around to filing my stash report. And it was a good one too! So this week I'll just combine them.
To start off, I bought NO fabric either week. Our host for the beach retreat even gave us directions to no less than 3 quilt shops on the way to her house, but I didn't stop at any of them. Of course, I got really lost on the way down, it was pouring down rain and I wanted nothing more than to arrive there safely.
I spent some time before I went down there making kits for a Disappearing 9-Patch quilt using the tons of charm squares I had in my stash. I made 6 kits and each kit had 4.5 yards of fabric in it. I made one quilt, some friends made 3 more and another couple of friends will make the final 2. So I can count all that fabric as gone. That's a total of 27 yards for the 6 quilts. Here's a picture of the one I made...

I sent my mom a quilt kit for her September package that contained 5 yards of fabric and I used a half yard combined for the October Camelot Snowman and the next Winter Wonderland block. I also brought 2 yards of black fabric for a friend to use for borders on one of her charity quilts. This adds up to another 7.5 yards.
I also completed another charity quilt top with fabric from my stash. I bought the panel from Wish Upon a Quilt during Stash Dash. I cut it up, added some sashing and a border to make this quilt...

The quilt top used 2.25 yards of fabric. And that brings my grand total for the 2 weeks to... 36.75 yards! Yeah!!! (I'm imagining waves of people cheering for me right now.)
So...
Purchased-this-week: 0 yards
Used-this-week: 36.75 yards
Purchased-to-date: 218.75 yards
Used-to-date: 364.75 yards
Net used: 146 yards
Now if I can get these quilts quilted that will give me another boost. And I've finished all the blocks for LeeAnn's quilt so once the top is assembled, I can count all that fabric too.
Until later...
It is God himself who has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives in helping others.
