Stash Report - 11/30

I didn't do very good this week. I was looking in my stash for Christmas fabric to use for the backing of Winter X. While searching I remembered that I'd used up most of my Christmas fabric last year making charity quilts. So I went to Joann's since they were still having their Merry Moolah sale. I bought 4 yards for the Winter X backing and another 4 yards (which will be excellent for backing) for my stash. The best part is both fabrics were $3/yd. Friday I went to the new LQS since it was their Grand Opening. I bought five 1 yd pieces of Merry & Bright for the Merry Christmas to All applique top.

The only fabric I can count out this week is the 4 yards for the Winter X backing. I've been working on Santa's Got the Goods but haven't quite finished the top. Hopefully next week I can post those numbers. Update: I have finished the Santa's Got the Goods top. It called for another border, but I don't like how it looks so I'm not adding it. I used 2-1/2 yards for the top. I'm almost at 100 yards used since April!!!

My numbers to date:

Fabric Added This Week: 13 yards
Fabric Added as of Apr. '08: 288.5 yards
Fabric Used This Week: 6-1/2 yards
Fabric Used Year to Date: 90-3/4 yards

We're expecting the snow to start any minute now so we'll be staying home today. Maybe I can get the top done today and update my numbers. Snow is here, but it's really light for now. Should make the Packer game pretty interesting.

oh dear, there's your ticker again! Pressure is building! You had a good week though. I'm with Pat, buying with a current use is OK, impulse buying, I try to stay away from that!
