Stash Report 081416

Due to the Grand Reconfiguring I didn't get any sewing done this week, but I did have fabric out.  In my efforts to compact my "stuff" as small as possible to make space for Little S to live in harmony with the sewing room I got rid of more fabric that I knew I wouldn't ever use.  I also apparently still had a bin from my mother that I had not gone through.  I was pleased to be able to condense more and also to put some of my mother's things in a a more appropriate place so that I will see it and use it.  I think overall I did well.

While all the flat surfaces are clear I am taking advantage to work on getting some scrapbooking done.  As soon as R gets back I will have to fold up the big work table to make space for Little S's mattress.) I rue the day my sister taught me about scrapbooking.  A woman cannot serve 2 hobbies.  Quilting always comes out ahead, so the photos are always waiting.  Unfortunately the girls are more interested in having their photos properly arranged than yet another quilt.  

Progress:
* A pile to maybe sell since I believe it has value.  I have hung on to some things for too long.  Vintage pillow cases, jacket professionally made from a quilt, old quilts that have no meaning to me??  R will help me with that in the future.
* A pile to donate since I can't see much real purpose in it.  Not quilting fabric. 1.5 yards
* 2 queen size sheets I was saving for backings went to my sister for curtains in her new house. 12.75 yards

Update: She returned the sheets so I am backing them out of the report as used and they'll go back in the stash. Too bad.  

Hmmm...  I need to finish some quilts so I can get some real backing numbers!  Backings definitely make a big difference.
