Stash reporting!

 My oh my oh my!  

I completely fell down on my stash reporting. 

I can say however that I finished the year in the

negative for fabric added. Only one large purchase 

of 7 m of white in October. 1 Halloween panel and 

a meter of matching fabric finished out my fabric buying. 

Donation of 6 quilts to the Zebra charity and 

6 large quilts out the door have me finishing way in the 

"more out than in!"

My last update was in October:

2022 STASH TOTALS

Used last week:           1.6 M

Used year to date:     22. M

Added last week:          39. M

Added year to date:      70.5 M

Net added in 2022      49. yards

   I got inspired to visit my flimsy vault and 

managed to get a lot of finishing done near the 

end of 2022. The quilts out  add up like this:

baby/crib size 6 @ 3m each = 18 m 

twins 2 @ 6m each = 12

queens 4 @ 11m each =44

for a grand total of 85m out for a net fabric out of 

36m!  I will call that a win!

This year, I am setting up a spread sheet for tracking projects.

The scraps however, are presenting a problem. Do I quantify them

as bins, bags, piles, mountains or kilos? That is still 

up for review, but I must have some way to track the scrap horde. 

 I already have 1 packet of scraps in from a friend and it is

 only day 4 of the new year!!

I am doing up my ufo list and adding  tasks  columns 

so I can see project status quickly. I have two different UFO 

groups to join so at least of few of the UFOs should get completed!

My rules for using up fabric are simple, it is not done 

until the binding is on. That discounts all the flimsies in 

the vault.  That certainly makes me strive to get the bindings done!

Some quilters track thread use by the number of bobbins used so

I may add that metric too.  A pleasant time was had last evening

winding a wealth of bobbins with neutral colors for piecing. 

One of my groups meets at an antique mall. This little item

holds 6 small spools and has a pincushion in the middle. 

It doesn't count as new thread since it is for display only . 

Isn't it adorable!

All this tracking should keep me up to date on 

fabric and most thread used. 

As long as someone doesn't mention "patterns"!

Stay safe and sew on !
