Some movement in the stash this week.  My mini group is putting together a basket for our quilt guild’s holiday party.  Our theme is “tools of the trade” and we are going through our stash and donating things (fabric and tools).  Well, I’ve got a bunch of tools that I tried and decided I didn’t like along with fabric that I’m no longer in love with.  So to help make space in my fabric bins, I donated 11.25 yards to the basket.  I have some yards to add as well because this coming Saturday I will be at the last workshop of the year and I needed 5 yards of a background fabric.  I do not have 5 yards of any 1 fabric so I went to my LQS and found something I like.  I still need to cut a bit before the workshop so I’ll be doing that this week.

Today I’ll be heading down to Torrance to a Weaving and Fiber Festival.  I’ve never been before and I’m excited to attend.

The fabric stash:  

• Used since last time: 11.25 yards
• Used year to date: 42.25 yards
• Added since last time: 5 yards
• Added year to Date: 124 yards
• Net ADDED for 2017: 81.75 yards
