This report covers the last two weeks, since I didn't do a report last week. I've actually used something each of the last 2 weeks. First making binding, and yesterday, cutting out a new quilt. I pulled dark blue and tan strips and FQs for the star quilt in Kim Brackett's Scrap Basket Surprises book. The pieces are now all stacked in a box ready for sewing.
Still no fabric purchases. I avoided temptation by skipping the annual auction at yesterday's guild meeting. I did go by Patchwork Plus and get a new cutting mat for my new cutting table. I like my new table - a kitchen island unit. I have rulers hanging from the "pot hooks" on the sides. And the drawer is great for being able to keep the scissors and rotary cutters out of the way. I spent time yesterday putting away some of the "stuff" that had been under my old cutting table so that I could clear off the ironing board. I still need a couple of baskets or something for the shelves to hold embroidery stabilizers.
Numbers for the last two weeks:
Used last 2 weeks: 4.11 yds
Added last 2 weeks: 0 yds
Used YTD: 14.73 yds
Added YTD: 0 yds
Net for 2012: 14.73 yds busted
Check with Judy at Patchwork Times to see how everyone else is doing this week.

Great numbers. Also, could you show us a picture of your new cutting table and how your outfitted it? I'm always looking for ways to improve my cutting area. Thanks for sharing.
