What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

There were some great ( in my opinion) sales for Christmas even for fabric. I bought a layer cake of halloween, because, I just love halloween.

I ended the last year using 133 yards more fabric than I bought. But, I still would like to lower my fabric purchases in 2023 by 10 %

fabric added in 2022 141 yards

fabric used in 2022 274 yards

I have started spinning one Sunday a month. The idea was to decide if it was time to let this hobby go, including all the stuff that goes with it. I have ...

Yesterday was sew day at the library for our guild. I enjoyed spending the day talking and sewing. I did come home with some scrappy pieces on the free table. And I won the drawing for a fat quarter. I tried to resist....

 Remember last week I was so happy that I didn't bring 4 fat quarters home from goodwill? Well, this week they were half price, so.... you win some you lose some....

3 fat quarters 50 cents each

1 1/4, 3/4, long scrap 2.00 for 3

I am sorting through blue strip bags looking for aqua/teal for the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. I have them all mixed together. Someday, I will have a bag for each...maybe.

 This week I worked on the last of the scraps from the  scrap bucket I am trying to tame. These scraps weighed  6 ounces which is almost a yard of fabric. I cut some 3 1/2 inches, then 2 1/2, 2, 1 1/2 and the rest went into a chunks bucket. It has helped to keep me from buying more of anything. Next week will be a challenge. We will have our guild meeting and there might be a free table. what will I do?
