Stash Report Sunday

So far - today has been an awesome day! We had a little Quilt of Valor sew time, and got QOV's bound, tops finished, and backings made - and a LOT of chit chat!!!  So while I used up some fabric today - I don't quite think it zeroed out what I bought this last week. We went to Grand Junction and there is the cutest fabric shop there - and they just have this cool stuff... and it Jumped into my arms!!

This fabric is part of the Under our Wings program from Quilts of Valor - they got all these fabric companies to produce Red White and Blue fabrics - and I loved these!!!

And then for the girly side in me - some bright stuff  - that I told Wrangler Man I had a plan for.... I just don't have than plan in my mind yet! But I have the fabric!!

So my stash report:

Fabrics Added this Week:   4.77 yards
QOV Fabrics added this week:   5.75 yards
Fabrics added YTD:              174.92 yds   ( gulp)

Fabric Used this Week:     4.805
Fabrics Used YTD:           265.224 Yrds

Total Fabrics BUSTED:    90.30 yards

Which tells me I need to start sewing faster! I kind of had a lull this last week due to our trip, hiking, fishing and chasing boys... but I got re-inspired today with all the QOV sew-ists!

While we were on our trip tho - I took some books! I got "Bride's House" by Sandra Dallas - oh lawsy that was a great book. I am ready to head to Georgetown to see the house!!!

And this one: A rivers Edge by Marie Bostwick. I love her books!

Check out the other stash reports - and find one that makes my purchases look small please - and let me know about it - so I can go - hey Wrangler Man look how much this quilter bought - shouldn't I shop a little more.... and then he will say that I am not to obsessed yet *cough cough*

    Mine doesn't make your purchases look small, but it does make your NET look big?

    LOL--just like a bunch of women. Does this make my stash look big?

    I picked up a couple of FQ of the 'thank you' fabric during the shop hope from Quilting Hands shop in Lyons. Now you know where to get it around here.

    I purchased some of the same QOV fabrics a couple of weeks ago. Now, to decide on a pattern.

    Great new fabric. But you really didn't do much damage. I went shopping yesterday for material for a couple of backs for QOVs and ended up with 35 yards of fabric. I did quite a bit of damage to my checkbook. Thank goodness it was on sale - most of it 40% off!

    I love the QoV fabrics also. Such rich colors in them. Your fabric in and out this week cancel out, so not bad at all.
