What to do , what to do?!

Well if anyone noticed, I've been getting way 

behind on my stash reporting.

The reason for this of course is the influx

 fabrics to my sewing room.

Our local group helped clean out a an estate of a 

buddy and we all ended up

with quite a bit of beautiful fabric.

Now I have to find a way to incorporate into my stash,

and get sewing it.

I'm going to say it was an influx, conservatively, of 70 m.

They're also project boxes of wonderful quilts to be completed.

They may not all end up as they were intended, but

I will give it a good try. 

The last Legacy quilt was completed on Monday.

It is the pale green quilted in a zigzag pattern.

It is off to a women's shelter and will provide 

comfort and warmth where needed. 

There is a small angel wing stitched into the corner

of each of the Legacy quilts to send my friend's 

memory out into the universe. 

Some of my stash was used to back a few of the Legacy quilts

so here are my totals for the year.

Fabric Purchased: 8  m

Used since last report  15 m 

Fabric In to date: 25.5 m

Use to date 2024 : 90

Scraps in : 20 m

Scraps out : 0 m

Big Batch donation : 60 m (June) 70 ( Oct)

Net Fabric in YTD:  72 m

I think I did well moving some fabric in 

and out, so I call the year a success!

The Christmas quilt is on the bed, 

and the cookie dough is chilling!

The holiday season has arrived!

Oh , What is this?

 Well what have we here?

This looks like a box of leftovers 

from last year's rainbow scrap challenge!

Assorted crumb strips, 

 some chopsticks blocks, 

some weave blocks,

and it looks like some four square strip colour

 family blocks that were left over from 

a wedding quilt project and put in the rainbow scrap box.

( The wedding is next week!)

Lots of quilt seeds in here!

Last week was retreat and I think it's time to work on

all these leftovers.

I received another delicious box of scraps

so I'll start there by making some more crumb strips 

out of the little pieces.

Lately I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed by my scraps,

so I'm using the divide and conquer method 

to get them under control.

I'll put a random bunch of crumbs in a small bin,

and just sew them up.

Since the favourite in my sewing room is colour families,

I can take my random bunch right 

out of my scrap drawers.

The ideas are percolating for next year's 

Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects!

There may be strips and strings involved!

Stay safe and sew on !
