Stitching and DeStashing--Week 12, 2020

My big plans to be super-productive during the time at home lately haven't gone as expected so far, but I am making a little progress. I spent a few days going through my UFOs and project leftovers, which lead to three offerings posted for the Spring 2020 Orphan Adoption Event at Quilting is more fun than Housework. You can check out the three blog posts sharing my "orphans" HERE, HERE and HERE.

There will be big changes to the stash report once the orphans are shipped away. One of them is a box of 2" strips that weighs 5 pounds. A conservative estimate of the yardage is 3 yards per pound, although I've seen some people go as high as 4 yards. Shipping out that 5 pounds of fabric will mean a 15-20 yard reduction to my stash!

The only change to my stash report for the past week was the first addition for the year. I won this beautiful jelly roll from Bea at beaquilter.com. She had giveaways for several prizes as part of her "Dust Off an Old Book" blog hop, and I was one of the lucky winners. Thanks, Bea!
