Stash Report and Stitching Time 8/20/2023

I was hoping for a sizable change in the stash report total this week, but ended up adding almost exactly the same amount of fabric as was used for the week. After getting very positive reactions from fellow guild members to the little pouches I made for our Christmas market (see them in THIS POST), I hit a sale at the fabric store to get more team fabrics for additional pouches. I ended up with 4.5 yards added to the stash (but I hope to use most of it in the next couple of months.)

My fabric usage total for the week was 4-5/8 yards, just 1/8 yard more than was added to the stash. That included 2-1/4 yards for all the little pouches, 2 yards for a tote bag, and 3/8 yard for the scrappy 16-Patch Stars blocks shared in yesterday's post.

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 quilting time. I definitely spent more than 15 minutes stitching every day last week. Now I'm planning to take a little break from all the Christmas market projects and catch up on a few other things this week.
