After such a crazy work week, I decided Saturday was really a day of rest and didn't do much around the house. I did spend a lot of time in the sewing room. I can't say fabric is flying into projects, but I've definitely been using more than usual. Which is good because I pushed a few buttons this week. I fell in love with a new fabric line over at Connecting Threads.
I may have plans for this fabric. I have a friend who is probably going to retire this year and this fabric fits her to a T. So I'm going to play around in EQ see if I can come up with something for her.
So here's the damage:
Used last week: 1.88 yards
Added last week: 17 yards
Used for 2013: 13.97 yards
Added for 2013: 20.75 yards
Net stashed for 2013: 6.78 yards
I'm not so far in the hole at this point, that making a single quilt back won't get me out of it. I'm on border 4 of 6 for the Sofa Quilt, so a pieced back should be in my future.
I definitely did my part for the economy this week. Check out the links over at Patchwork Times for more indicators on the economic health of the fabric industry.

I know you friend is going to love her quilt - the fabrics are very soothing. Glad to hear DT is feeling better.
Your friend will love it! I admit I got a crush on the new line also and ordered some up. It will be here this coming week.
Those fabrics look great. It seems like there are not always a lot of gray fabrics on the market.
Hopefully DT stays feeling better.
Your fabrics are yummy!
I hoepe this week is a little calmer!
very nice fabric. You certainly bought a bundle this week.
Your week and weekend sound exactly like mine Kate. I was so glad when last Friday night arrived I sent up a silent cheer. The weekend , although full of not much seemed to go by far too quickly.
I did some damage to my savings account this past weekend , and that included buying some fabric. I think we all need to have a splurge every now and then. You’re doing a great job of keeping those figures close to neutral this year!
I'm going to have to add over six yards -- none of which I purchased -- for this past week. LOL! No matter that I'm not buying, it's still growing!! :)
Looking at your stash report each week encouraged me to create a spreadsheet of my stash in/out. Who knows where the year will end up. Last year I think I was WAY in the red.
Glad DT is on the mend. Can't wait to see what you do with that fabric!
