It is the last Stashbuster check in for this year, and our final one will be in January. This has been a fun way to concentrate on reducing the stash, only buying what is needed to finish projects. I had a bit more out than in this month, thank goodness!
Last week I got the moose quilt done, just in time to count the fabric out! Total out for panel, borders, backing and binding = 3 yards.
The London Quilt was finished, and will be auctioned off next weekend. Fabric Out = 3-1/2 yards. I am still looking for leftover fabric scraps from your stash of British theme prints, if you find anything do let me know. Some have suggested prints by designers online, but many are simply nice florals with English names like Notting Hill, and are not recognizably British in theme. Also, I cannot pay full retail plus shipping for a charity quilt, even though some of those prints suggested would be fun. But if you have a leftover fat quarter or more, do let me know.
I finished the sleeveless top and elastic waist skirt for my show entry. Fabric out = 3 yards.
This month I didn’t even look at the exchange table at the guild meeting, LOL!!
Here are my totals
November Fabric IN = 0
November Fabric OUT = -9-1/2 yards
November Net Total = -9-1/2 yards
Year to Date = -28-3/4 yards out
The great folks at Sulky will send this prize to one lucky winner who reports their totals this month. The prize is a set of quilting cotton 50 wt threads in Christmas colors, and a pack Organ sewing machine needles!

You once posted direction on making reusable bags from dog/cat food bags. I can not find it on your site. Any chance you could email it to me. I have saved the bags and want to make them for Christmas gifts. I love everything you do.
You’ve been so productive, Carole — puts me to shame. I haven’t picked up a brush since October (though I’m hoping to paint a few holiday cards once my company leaves.) Your work is exquisite. I wish I was making a trip to England soon to scout fabric for you! Every time I hit a fabric store, I look!

Not much sewing this month but a lot of crafting with my Silhouette cutting machine, creating Christmas cards, tree decorations, gift card holders. My purchase was fabric for a New Years’ Day quilt along with my sister. Excited for that. Have a quilt to bind before Christmas and some small gifts to sew. It’s going to be a busy month. Happy holidays to you and your family.
This year has flown by! I will start again in January….darn ankle that interrupted my keeping track.

Can’t even begin to count the number of yards that came INTO the house. But being aware of my failure is the first step in correcting it – right? The Share table didn’t help at all! LOL – but 14 quilts went out to charities, (and my foster puppy ate one) so maybe there’s hope for me yet! Thanks for the inspiration – love the London quilt.

A better month but still more in than out. The IN is from the Pineapple Fabrics sale. It’s hard to resist a sale…Out was mostly a queen size quilt I donated for an upcoming guild auction.

Well, Nov is a crazy month for us, as we had 9 Veteran events in different cities for Veterans Day and awarded over 100 quilts, but I did sew, since my machine came back! By the way, that means we have awarded over 500 quilts so far this year! Only used fabric I had in the stash, too, and all went to Quilts of Valor! Quilt #70 this year is Patriotic QOVF Mystery Fall 2022: #71 is Quilty Girl mystery–Long May She Wave; #72 is HST in black, gray and yellow It was leftovers plus some stash fabric from the Entwined I made #61 which was already awarded!). #73 red and strips pinwheel center with small panel blocks surrounding; #74 is USA map panel with HST and panels surrounding; #75 is a pattern called Evergreen done with Navy branch fabric. So, that should be 60 yards used this month!! And, donated some fabric yardage to be put in Christmas Child boxes for the teen girls.
I picked up some fabric that I needed to be able to finish four different projects that I currently have in the works. I also signed up to participate in the New Year’s Eve Mystery Quilt Along from Craftsy, Stitchn’ Heaven, and National Quilter’s Circle so ordered the kit of fabric for that. However, my in for November is quite high because I had the opportunity to attend the International Quilt Festival in Houston. Found quite a bit of fabric/kits that were difficult to pass up. Although I was also able to be productive during the month by finishing (as well as close to finishing) several projects. I have several quilts that just need the binding so will keep plugging on that so they can be added to my December out.

Good evening, Sorry I’m a little late in reporting-my computer was in the shop for cleaning and tune-up. Here’s my report for November:
November: Input: 3 yards for pillowcase bags Output: approximately 4 yards for three tote bags (Christmas gifts)
Total output: 4 yards Input 3 yards (+ 1)
It looks like I’ve been lazy in November. In addition to knitting I was finishing quilts tops given to me, so they don’t count as much towards fabric used, just the backings. They’re going out in December’s countdown. 3 quilts given away this month.
