Amen on the football. I was so rooting for Brett Favre! I was hoping for a Favre/Manning match up this year.

I stash busting this year I have a to do box and have quite a few quilts waiting to be quilted. My husband was very disappointed that the Vikings lost too. He’s been following them for years and was hoping that this would be their year. The turnovers really killed them.

My goal is to finish the year with six fewer projects on my list. So far, I have finished two on the list, but have also added two. It’s like treading water!

I don’t know if what I’m trying to do would be considered stashbusting or not. I want to try really hard not to BUY anymore fabric this year. But, I’ve become very interested in charity quilts recently. As a result, lots of people are sending me fabric to get me started. So, even though I’m not spending money, I am adding to my stash. On the other hand, I am hoping to make lots and lots of charity quilts with all that donated stuff so it’ll even out.

About football, I agree completely that it’s sad that the Vikings didn’t win but with the turnovers they really didn’t deserve it either. I love the Steelers but we all know how their season ended up this year!

Bye,
Lisa

I set a goal for myself to finish more sewing projects than I start. Hopefully that will help me make a dent in my stash and UFOs. It’d be nice to have some of those things I’ve been working on for years ready to go.

I am stashbusting, just not really keeping track.. I just use what’s here. Haven’t bought fabric since Oct. ’09 and that was for my DD’s projest, but I’m getting “the itch!”

I’ve taken a vow this year not to buy any fabric until I make an appreciable dent in what I have around here. That means staying out of the local fabric store, except to pick up quilt batting! Not sure how I’ll find it with my eyes closed, though (so I don’t see some cool fabric I want to buy)!

So far I’ve finished three quilts this year, and have one top ready to machine quilt. And I’m in no danger of running out of fabric or thread any time soon! I’m not as organized about it as you are, but I think I can make a dent in it if I keep it up!

One year of stashbusting was enough for me! lol! Brett Favre lost that game last night. I was happy though, I wanted the Saints to win. I don’t think either of those teams can beat the Colts through. I expect the SB to be a Colts blowout……but then I am usually wrong! Since I was a Saints fan UNTIL THIS YEAR, they may win the SB just to show my stupidity for switching my allegiance to the Eagles!

I regularly go through my fabric and give the fabric I’m tired of to a lady in my group. She belongs to ‘Warmth from the Heart’ and they make quilts for charity. I started my first string quilt this weekend. It’s fun, but I can see problems with it…since I didn’t have strings, I cut them. Then I started thinking about how to get more strings by having my quilt friends to save their scraps for me….This could be a problem for me since I am a ‘collector’. I even thought about suggesting our QFL (Quilting Football League) make a charity string quilt using the quilt shop scraps…..
