Sunday Stash

I bought the owls on a whim, no project in mind ....then while driving home from Thanksgiving it occurred to me that I could make my girls quilts for Christmas... I almost had the others to be gifted done and I would have almost 2 week of them still on school when I could work on them in stealth mode.... and I was sure I had fabrics at home to work with. (this would be an understatement)

When we got home I started pulling fabrics to go with the owls. My youngest is not a girly girl and she recently painted her room bright green... like the bright green owls. I wanted to make something that matched, but didn't glow..... maybe something to neutralize the current glow factor.... I am excited to got cutting on this... Its going to be a d9p featuring the owls.

While driving home I also started thinking about how much fabric I bought on the trip... 18.5 yards to be exact. I decided to start tracking my in/out with a goal of over all fabric reduction in the coming year. I am going to start now so that I don't mistakenly think December is a freebie month and start stocking up in preparation ... yes, I would do that.... it will also let me start counting with the gifts that are in progress so that I have all the 'grey area' cleared for the new year.

So, here goes... for this week:

Fabric in - 18.5 yards

Fabric out - secret project, 5 yards + 2 charm packs (1.5yds)
Net - Increase of 12 yards
