This week, my step-daughter came over for dinner and told me about a quilt she has started making. It’s her first large project, and I am really excited for her! This is the young woman who received the turquoise quilt for her birthday in March.
She prefers hand-sewing to using a sewing machine, so she is making a Grandmother’s Flower Garden by the English paper piecing method. She found free hexagon templates and illustrated instructions at Cia’s Palette.
She wants to use all-plaid focus fabrics and asked me where she could find some. We talked about recycling clothing, and then she chose 9 fat quarters out of my stash to take home with her. That’s quick and easy stash-busting! 😉
I decided to keep the grey corduroy gift fabric in my Stash Report totals, as I’ve thought of a project for my personal use, as well as making donation gifts. If I count gift fabric received, then surely I can count gift fabric given? If so, that’s 2.25 yards out this week! Here are my totals:
Fabric in this week: 0
Fabric in year-to-date: 46 yards
Fabric out this week: 2.25 yards
Fabric out year-to-date: 26.75 yards
Used (net): -19.25 yards

Happy Quilting!
