Stash Report Week 12

Yikes! Judy at Patchworks Times reported that next week will mark a quarter of the first year and how is our stash going? Well, mmmmm, what an interesting question. Did you know that a duck's quack doesn't echo,* and no one knows why. I don't know where somebody found a duck in an echo chamber, but people do strange things...

Now, where was I? Oh yes, Judy. I have to tell you, Judy is a great person. Her blog is full of neat quilty stuff but also things about her "homestead." Her friendly chicken, Miss Hattie, who follows her and her husband around. The planting of many, many, many fruit trees. You can reach her by clicking on the Patchwork Times badge on the right. In fact, that's where you'll find the stash report.

Oops...that was what this post was about. Yes, I haven't done well. I'm in the negative. Okay, I just thought that as soon as I get started on the BIG project, the numbers would start climbing. It's all Judy's fault, I could have easily reported my stash report, but she had to mention the first quarter of the year.

The only fractions I am good at are thirds. You see I have to send out trimester progress reports. If you're a math whiz, you'll know that trimester indicates 3 time periods. At the beginning of March, I sent out the second trimester progress reports. I know that I am 2/3rds of the way through the school year. Are you impressed with my mathematical prowess?

Lets' see...now where was I?  Oh yes, fractions. Did you know that 23% of all photocopier faults worldwide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their butts? It makes me wonder. The copy machine at the schools I work at are always getting broken. Makes you think, doesn't it? Of course, the number 23% is a representation of a fraction that is 2/3. That is also the same fraction that marks how far I am in the school year.

All right. I just stop putsying around.

Here's My Report

Stash Count Week 11 of 2013

I have one word to say....

Arrrrgggghhhhh!

or maybe:

oopsie doopsie

 

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...

... 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.
