I have one word to say....
or maybe:
My most bitter regret: I only have one life to give for my fabric! If fabric were the fountain of youth, I could buy more and live long enough to make all the quilts I have bought fabric for...
So without further ado...
Here's My Report
Stash Count Week 11
Used This Week: 3 yds
Used 2013: 12.5
Added This Week: 7 yards
Added 2013: 31.5
Net 2013: -19 yards
... I got a lot of scraps from our guild give-away table. I took some before the meeting, not wanting to be greedy. After the meeting, as everyone was leaving, I went back and TOOK THEM ALL! My justification was I am teaching a class on string quilting, using the Spiderweb pattern, and I needed them for my class. That was what was intended, but looking at them yesterday...well...I...ummm...you know...*gulp* I decided to keep them all.
Besides, I have two kitchen garbage bags (without the kitchen garbage in them) full of scraps I'm bringing.
Then there's someone else to blame. My sisty ugler! She came last weekend and asked if I wanted her stash? What's a girl to do?? I mean, what would you have done in my position? Or if I was to offer them to you today? Uh-huh. Caught ya!
You can find more about the sisty ugler story here
I'll be checking out how other quilters have been doing at Patchwork Times.
And here's to blogger frustration: I don't know why the font changed in the middle of the blog...but I'm too frazzulated to try and fix it.
Arrrrgggghhhhh!

I have so much stash that if I had to use it up before I die I'd live to be 500. Someone or some group is going to get a fabulous gift.

LOL - there's always next year to not add to the stash, right? Can't turn down free fabric! Oh - and I've had the font change on me, too, no idea why and I couldn't get it to change back.
