Stash Report Week 6

It's been a pretty productive week...got the baby quilt top done and put the back together, I got 1 soldier quilt top done and ready to go to my friend Jami and I made a dog bed for the shelter...1 yard of fabric for the outside cover and a couple month's a trimmings off of blocks, from straightening fabric, the dog ears off half square triangles. The shelter loves them because they're all cotton and they can be washed and dried a million times and they usually send them home with the dogs when they get adopted...I can make more.

Fabric Added this Week: 0 yards
Fabric Added Year to Date: 10.75 yards

Fabric Used this Week: 10 yards
Fabric Used Year to Date: 35.75 yards

Total Busted: 20 yards

Wow...you did great on stash busting this week...I'm thinking I really should keep track of my stash as well! Because it's always so interesting when people post their yardages!

Some little pouch is really going to be happy with their new bed!

Love your plaid quilt! I love plaids but they scare me to death working with them. Love the idea for the dog bed, I could also do that for our shelter!!!

Now that is a great idea! I should make up some little doggie cushions for my guys. You are plowing through your stash!

I love the idea of the dog pillow. I wonder if our shelter would want some.

Thimbleanna said...

What a cool idea for a dog bed. I'll have to mention this to my sister -- she's volunteering at our local shelter to help wash the dogs so someone will love them!

Libby said...

Your work is headed off to some very wonderful places where it will be loved and appreciated to the nth degree. Way to go!

Love the homespun quilt. The doggie bed is so nice of you. What a great idea!

Ginger Patches said...

Look at you go, you stash buster you :) Love the soldier quilt, what pattern is it? So you stuff the doggy bed with scraps, what a great idea. I think I finally threw my big bag of too small scraps away. I knew as soon as I did I'd find a use for them lol!

Nan said...

You are a stash buster, that's for sure!
I love the quilt, and what an excellent idea for a dog bed! Totally washable, and the ultimate in recycling. Thank you for the great idea, Carol.

Kate said...

Thats a really sweet thing to do; Im sure the dogs love their beds!

Nancy said...

Some lucky little dog will love that new bed! Should I send you my scraps?
