Stash Report – Week 5, 2012 January 16, 2012 Did a little sewing this week – still using scraps and whatever stash I have on hand.   I’m only counting fabric after the project is finished, easier to keep track of that way.  My Feb. table runner is finished - ended up steam cleaning the kitchen floor this weekend so I could get it sandwiched, then it was beautiful outside so I sent the kids out to play and had enough time to get the entire thing quilted and bound.  Won't post a picture until Feb. 1st - but it is finished, so I get to count the yardage.   Used this Week: 3 yards Used year to Date: 5 yards Added this Week: 0 yards Added Year to Date: 0 yards Net Used for 2012: -5 yards Finished Projects for 2012 - Jan Table Runner   To see what others are working on check out Patchwork Times by Judy !
