Stash Report February 8, 2015

To say that this year, I've started slow would be an understatement.  I've been feeling behind since January 1st.  Not a good way to start a year.  I think I might need an attitude adjustment here, which I didn't even realize until I typed the words

Really how can I be behind at the beginning? I think there may be physics involved there, so I'll just settle for a slow start and a long list.  Come to think of it, that is the norm around here.

While I did really good the last 100 days of 2014 only buying fabric that would be used right away, I have done a bit of stash enhancement this year.

I needed sashing for my 2in wonder blocks (Growing up odd) and some neutrals for my soap quilt. Then visiting quilt shops in Tulsa with my sister added a few yards to the mix. Oh there was that backing fabric for a couple of QOV's yet to be finished.

Which leads me to the other side of the stash report.  I've been in my sewing room three times in this year.  (Vacation in January is hard on fabric usage)  Twice to clean up from my Oct-Dec sewing deadlines and one day to do some sewing (3 pillowcases).  This month will be better I promise.

Added since last report: 41 Yards
Added this Year: 41 Yards
Used since last report: 3 Yards
Used this Year: 3 Yards
Net Used this Year: -38 Yards

So there it is 38 yards in the negative, and I'm OK with that. :)
