Thankfully my family took pity on me after my morning in the laundromat and let me spend the afternoon de-stressing in my sewing room. It was a productive afternoon so there is actually a bit going out on the stash report this week.
Used last week: 4.74 yards
Used year to date: 34.02 yards
Added year to date: 205.80 yards
Net added year to date: 171.78 yards
Unfortunately the backing for the Meadow Mist Mystery didn't make up for the incoming fabric this week. I should have just deleted that Craftsy email, but I just fell for the Colonial Manor stash builder priced at half off.

I can definitely see another QOV or two in my future.
In terms of finding time to stitch, I managed to find at least 15 minutes each of the last 7 days. For the year, there's been some stitching going on 147 out of the last 154 days (95% success rate). I've been pretty amazed at just how much you can get done even with just 15 minutes a day.
I've also been keeping up with my walking each week. I came across these beautiful, but alien looking flowers during my last constitutional.
These are Nigella (also known as Devil in a Bush or Love in a Mist). Wouldn't those be fun quilt names?
Linking up with quiltpaintcreate for this week's stash report.

I had a hard time resisting Colonial Manor, but I held firm. I'll be watching for a Devil Bush coming from you soon.
I nearly ordered that same fabric bundle last weekend! It will make some great QOVs!
I've been on a fabric buying bent lately--a shop hop this weekend adding more. We have 4 shops to go😁
I feel your pain about the laundromat, our dryer went out about a week before Memorial day. We ordered a new one, but it didn't arrive until yesterday. The good thing is we could use drying racks so that meant I didn't have to go to the laundromat. When our washer went out several years ago, I had to go twice before it was replaced, and I hated it!!! I hope yours fixed really soon.
Oh, wow, love the fabric you added! And those flowers are pretty cool, they would make a great quilt name!
I am with you on the laund-o-mat thingy--but when one lives in a Senior apt complex--that is what you get to use each and every week--I have also found here to get down there really early--sometimes I can even get in and out with only one other person doing a washing or drying--but I always have to clean out the washer/dryers--some have animals that shed alot--some wash hairy rugs in them and so sometimes the tubs still have stuff leftover in them--it is bad--I pick another machine or even a different day--here for 76 apts we have one laundry room with just 4 washers and dryers-period--it is open 24 hours a day though--!!!
I love that new fabric purchase--you did a good job on that find--
enjoy the moments, di
Those are the coolest flowers!
I am ordering the seeds - when I googled it there was a famous woman - suppose her parents thought she was devilish:)
