This week's stash report doesn't show any changes on the fabric used side of the tally. I've continued working on the alphabet blocks, making the last set of letters this week and starting to get them joined into rows.
Improv Alphabet blocks,
based on "Outspoken" workshop with Elaine Poplin
The pattern for these blocks also included numbers, and I considered adding them at the bottom. By the time I finished making letters, I was losing interest in making more blocks and decided to stop here. The next step will be to even out the rows, then get them joined together.
Unfortunately, the stash report shows a very large amount added to the stash this week. I gave in to an early Black Friday sale at Connecting Threads back in early November, and my order finally arrived this week, almost a month after it was placed. Some of their sale prices were as low as $3/yard, although many of those were sold out by the time I ordered. Anyway, 25.5 yards of fabric was added to my stash.
"On the Sunny Side," 21 pieces
"Cheddar Blues," 10 pieces
"Faux Linen" and batiks, 6 pieces
Now that I'm adding up the stash totals, I see that this large addition brings my total for the year up to just below 100 yards added in 2025. My goal for the year was to use at least 100 yards, but there's no way I will accomplish that, unless I give away a large amount of fabric. It might be time for an end-of-the-year reduction in stash!

I was so tempted with the Connecting Threads sale, but then remembered all the fabric in my sewing room, so I just kept deleting those emails. You've still had a good year, you've used more than 50 yards and had all that stitching time. Since stitching time is supposed to be good for you (one of those grandma hobbies), you should certainly consider that you've done well on having a healthy habit all year.
