Stash Report and Stitching Time 10/5/2025

It seems like I should have more to share for the stash report this week, but it just wasn't a very productive week. Maybe next week will be better. I can report 1.75 yards used for the pieces I made in the Drafting Complex Curves class with Audrey Esarey a week ago (read more about that HERE.) No new fabric was added to the stash this week.

I've been looking back at my yearly stash totals from previous years, and I'm not happy to see how far I am lagging behind on usage for this year. I've been finishing more quilts than usual this year, which is a very good thing, but several of them were tops that were already pieced and the fabrics used had been counted in earlier stash reports. Maybe there will be some more finishes before the end of the year that use up a significant amount of yardage.

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. There were a couple of days this past week with very little time for quilting, but I did squeeze in at least 15 minutes each day. Next week is looking quieter, and I'm hoping there will be a day or two that I can devote to quilting.
