I spent the morning yesterday running errands and the afternoon playing with fabric! It was wonderful! I did pick up the kit for Row 3 of Spooky Halloween and in the process purchased a wonderful bundle of fat quarter linens. So I have a bit to add this week. Still in the black but Moon Glow will be finished soon so that will bring my numbers up a bit.
For the fabric stash:
- Used this week: 0 yards
- Used year to date: 34 yards
- Added this week: 1.25 yards
- Added year to Date: 28.625 yards
- Net USED for 2016: 5.375 yards
For the Budget:
In addition to the BOM fees for this month, the linen bundle, I also purchased thread at my LQS and at Hawthorne Threads. Every time I get a 50w thread from Aurifil, I get the same color in 40w, 28w, and 12w. It helps increase my collection in the different weights. I don’t do this for the neutral colors because I only want to have the different weights of thread for decorative stitching that I do periodically. You just never know when you’ll need a particular color in a particular weight.
Spent this week: $106.20
Spent year to date: $3,622.30
For the yarn stash:
I had a chance to find the yarn I bought while on vacation and add it to the numbers this week.
Used this week: 0 yards
Used year to date: 300 yards
Added this week: 1248 yards
Added year to date: 1248 yards
Net Added for 2016: 948 yards
And for Slow Stitching Sunday with Kathy at Kathy Quilts, I plan to work on A Rainbow Garden again today! Here’s what it looked like last week:
Here is how it looks now:
Until next time…

I love Aurifil thread and found a shop with a great price. I buy 1 spool of neutral and 3 different colors I don’t have. Like you said – You never know when you will need that certain color.
Thanks Charlene. I think thread has become my new fabric and I might need to start a thread stash report. 🙂
That block is so pretty.
Thank you Cathie! 🙂
Such a pretty block!
Thank you Theresa! 🙂
Great progress on your hand work project.

Beautiful block! Love the little round flower centres!
Thank you Kathy! 🙂
Your applique work is beautiful! I actually gasped when I saw your flower added. It’s so pretty!
Thank you Patricia! 🙂
Your block is beautiful. Lately I’ve been wondering how applique on a dark background would look. Your block tells me dark backgrounds work great!
Thanks Nancy! 🙂
