The first is the 2011 Designer Mystery Block of the Month from the FQS. The first block arrived along with the finishing kit and backing. I love it that Kimberly sends those at the beginning of the BOM! Anyway, that was 14.75 yards. A lot of gorgeous Strawberry Fields by Fig Tree.
The second b-i-g box was FaLaLaLaLa by French General, a couple of jelly rolls and some yardage including a backing. That was 21.5 yards. I know that seems like a lot, but I already have a tower. I should be able to get a couple of quilts out of this.
The give-away last week helped some with 35.875 yards gone. Guess I need to have another give-away or sew faster!!
Year to Date:
Busted: 290.68 yards
Purchased: 350.025 yards
Net YTD: (59.345) yards busted :(
I'll miss next week's Stash Report as I'm taking a few days of R&R. Hopefully I'll come home refreshed and ready to rumble -- er, sew!

Glad to see you taking a few days off. Enjoy yourself! Your net numers aren't so bad, considering where they were at this time previous years, right? :)
Hey...my numbers were shot to H**L last week too because of that same first box! No regrets though... :)
Oh, such pretty fabrics. I continue to be amazed at your "used" numbers.
Great fabric lines! Have a safe vacation and enjoy yourself! :)
Those fabrics are beautiful! And you only live once, if you have room for them in your house, why not? If you don't have room, maybe you need an extra house. :)
yummy packages!! i'm slightly jealous ;-)
i miss my stash report.
i've totally lost track of all in & out in the last 3 months or so... sad i know... but it was just so hard to keep track of everything while getting ready for market!

You're getting no censor from here! I could afford it there are some lines out now, or coming soon where'd I buy 30 yards of easy.
Hi Vicky,
They are both beautiful!
Have fun on your days off!!!

R&R--that sounds good!
Oh gosh, I would have no regrets on those purchases either~ they are wonderful!! Have fun sewing!
Enjoy it all!
Beautiful fabrics. Your yardage going out is pretty amazing, even if you aren't quite in the black.
Sadly my order from Fat Quarter Shop is being held hostage due to the Canada Post Strike..I sure hope they settle soon...
I've been waiting to get my hands on this stuff for months.
I love Strawberry Fields. I finished a baby quilt made with that not too long ago and it was so, well, yummy. LOL!
You still use a lot, and these are fabulous lines. I don't blame you for splurging!
Yummy new stash!!! Oh pooh who cares about the numbers. :-)
Have fun, fun, fun. Relax and enjoy.
I got that Strawberry Fields box too and I LOVE it! So just ENJOY! Have a great R&R
