reckoning day has arrived....the numbers have been duly crunched....and the result is.....40 yards USED and 21 yards ADDED for 2017! even with my fuzzy math, that is a net used of 19 yards! those yards are gone and outta here....some went for lap robes, some went for finished UFOs....these figures do not calculate the UFOs still waiting for a finish or the 3 projects started this year...only 3? remarkable restraint, considering how easy it is to get sidetracked with tantalizing internet photos. not included in this tally was fabric used for doll clothes and some minimal fabric used to finish up cross-stitch projects, probably the most satisfying finishes as they had been tucked away in a tote for so long, too long. time is fleeting, bodies age, faculties diminish, so it's imperative to use time wisely, live each day to the fullest, spend those minutes and hours and not let them just slip thru our fingers. a happy quilting/sewing/stitching new year to you all!
That is a good amount used up......
ReplyDeleteA good distribution between out and in. I am falling behind in that regards. Time to get off the computer and go back to sewing. Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteGood going Grace! I have declared this year as the year of the finishes. Sure hope I can get a lot finished on both quilting and cross stitching/embroidery. I'm trying not to start anything new until some of the old is finished.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on the stash usage!
ReplyDeleteNo one can accuse you of idle hands, Grace! You are a very prolific quilter, and I enjoy watching the projects come to fruition in your hands!
