April was a good month fabric-wise! And productivity-wise, with my Pantone challenge entry, Brew; catching up with our guild BOM, Cascade Calendar; making a final piece for Block Studies Collective, Abstractions Redux; mini Easter baskets for the family brunch; AND my latest Open Jar response, Birdsong. To be honest, that all felt really good, and I'm excited about moving into a fresh slate of a month.
For fabric intake, there was just two yards of Prisma Dyes Artisan Batiks as possible bindings for the Lucky Stars quilt I am repairing for my daughter. Luckily, the darker fabric works!
Another reason my fabric numbers look good is that I went through my entire stash and gathered up things I thought someone else could make better use of - 11 yards worth! So I'll be taking that all to the next guild meeting for the free table. Fingers crossed it'll find a better home than mine.
So that all finally put me in the negative for the year - a whopping net -10.67 yards used. That feels good, yes it does.
April Fabric Usage
Used up: 21.8 yards [7.45 projects + 2.46 recycled + 11.89 donated]
Brought in: 2.0 yards
Net: -19.8 yards
Good accounting and it's good to be able to stick to goals isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGolly! You're good! I'm not ready (yet) to give away heaps of fabric, but good for you. It's a great way to raise that "used up" total. I'm giving you a big thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteHi I saw your gorgeous lanthanides quilt from 2023. Where did you get the fabric blues, orange and reds ?
ReplyDeleteshould say Kantha quilt
DeleteAll the fabrics for the front of my Kantha quilt were Carolyn Friedlander prints collected over the years. I bet you could still find some on etsy if not in other shops.
