Stash Report - Week 37

There was nothing added to my stash last week, and I finally got out of red figures in my used column. I had forgotten to count the backing on the string quilt after it was quilted, so I'm counting that this week (binding was counted last week).  Also counted is the fabric that was used for 20 QOV blocks that I made for Alycia's block drive.

Fabric Added last week - 0
Fabric Added YTD - 73.95 yds
Fabric Used this week - 10.45 yds
Fabric Used  YTD - 78.23 yds
Net reduced from stash this year - 4.28 yds.

It's not a very big reduction in my stash levels, but now I'm headed in the right direction -- Gee, it only took me 9 months to USE more fabric than I've brought in this year. lol.  Now if I can only resist buying more fabric.  It's going to take a lot of will power. This coming week I am going on retreat and I know temptation will be strong when we stop in The Hickory Stick in Hannibal. It's very hard to get out of there without buying something.  It is such a great shop.

Get It Done -Results for August and new for September

Since I was a bit over confident in making out and finishing my August Get It Done goals, I'm being a little less aggressive in setting goals for September.  What I didn't finish on August's list, I'll roll over to September.  Here was my progress on August goals.

August Goals
1. Quilt String quilt - Done
2. Piece blocks for Autumn Plume - not done
3. Finish Easy Street top - needs 1 more border
4. Get liturgical quilt done - nope, did work on it though
5. Quilt RWB baby quilt - not done

Now for September Goals
1. Put binding on String quilt
2. Piece blocks for Autumn Plume
3. Work on applique on liturgical quilt
4. Quilt RWB baby quilt
5. Piece 20 QOV flag blocks for Alycia's block drive - New goal added to the rollovers.  It has a deadline, so I know this will get finished.

I have much more success with my goals when they involve other people.  When they are just for my benefit, I tend to procrastinate more often and they get done when they get done.  I guess because there is no penalty if they don't get finished. When others are expecting an end result, we don't want to disappoint.  Oh well, que sera sera.
