Stash Report & Stitching Time 6/12/2022

It's time for some true confessions on the stash report--I was feeling a little sorry for myself after skipping a planned stop at Hancock's of Paducah during a recent trip, thanks to our Covid exposure. That made me susceptible to the Memorial Day sales, and I got rather carried away with my shopping. Here are some of my new additions.

One part of my stash that needed to be restocked was the patriotic collection. The double stacks at the top of the photo are all part of a fat quarter bundle, and there are a few larger pieces at the bottom.

I also decided to restock some of my solids after using up most of my pinks on a recent baby quilt.

There were also several other new fabrics in my order, but I don't have photos of them all. A few days after my order arrived, I also received this lovely grouping as a prize for the 2022 Hands 2 Help Comfort Quilt Challenge. The three blue fabrics in the middle are all Stonehenge prints by Northcott, a personal favorite of mine! Each piece is about 7/8 yard.

Altogether, the additions to my stash total 26.25 yards. It's definitely time to go through my fabric shelves and weed out some oldies that can go to new homes.

There is a little bit of usage to report too--one yard total, split between the blue Scrappy Heart for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and 32 of these bright blocks, my most recent piecing project.

Kate's 15 Minutes to Stitch Challenge at Life in Pieces has us tracking how many days each week we get in at least 15 minutes of stitching time. I've spent lots of time in my sewing room this week, much of it cleaning and reorganizing, some of it piecing, and some time trying out my new machine. A large part of yesterday was spent washing and folding all of those new fabrics!

15 Minute Challenge for 2022:

2022 Total      159 of 162 days
