Today's stash report covers the last two weeks. We were in Wisconsin visiting family and going to baseball games a week ago, which kept me from posting a report. It was a wonderful trip that included spending time with my mother and seeing all three of my siblings, plus two of their spouses, two nieces, and their families. We had a fantastic time!
As usually happens when we drive from Georgia to Wisconsin, we spent the night in Paducah, which meant shopping at Hancock's the next morning. I needed fabrics for a guild challenge, and bought these two sets as options, 10 yards total. I'm currently working with the solids.
While in Madison, my sister and I went to a yard sale that included some fabrics. I bought three different 2-yard pieces of chili pepper prints, which will probably become placemats or napkins at a later date. The rainbow stripe was another purchase at Hancock's. There was another rainbow fabric too, but I gave it to my sister.
Total additions to the stash came to 18.5 yards, and fabric "used" was the one-yard piece given away. My stash numbers were getting so close to even, but now I'm back to over 20 yards in the red.

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 missed a total of four days over the last two weeks, all of them while we were traveling. Visiting family and having fun filled most of our time.
