Time for the last Stashbusters check in, the final count of how much came in and went out for December and the 2025 year.

I did OK for the year, finishing with more out than in. December ended with more in than out. I bought with half a yard of this fabric, so I could get this motif along with the one I used in a project.

The mystery box had just over 1 yard of fabric. The little piece is 10-inches square, hardly enough to count.

A friend gifted me with these two cute prints, total in 2-1/2 yards.

For fabric out, the little mug mat counts as 1/4 yard for top, back and binding.

Then, my Worldwide Quilting Day project is 1/2 yard + a smidgen out for top, back and binding. I can’t show you the project, but here is the challenge fabric.

There was no re-home table in December at our guild party, so fabric out was sparse. On the flip side, though, I didn’t bring anything new home from it. I spent much of my sewing time in December working on the denim jackets which have no fabric out. Here are my totals for December and year end.
December Fabric IN = +4 yards
December Fabric OUT = –3/4 yard
December Net Total = +3-1/4 yards
Year to Date (net total for the year, + In, or – Out) = -9 yards! Yippee, I made it!!
