I reduced my quilting thread by about 19,000 yards
and with making all those boxy pouches, my stash was reduced by 67 yards. I had used up these spools which are both sewing thread and quilting thread
The amount of sewing I did last year was less that previous years due to exhaustion from the heat at work, but I sure did good with salvaging those rocks!
I managed to get the bottom row sewn on and the t-shirts for the top row trimmed close to the right size. I will trim the sides once I get the top row sewn on and then the top will be done!
Only working three days this week has been great! I could get use to that. Next week will feel so long with working 5 days - oh well. This weekend I plan on starting to machine quilt Sammy's quilt. Have a great weekend!

I would say you really got in a lot of exercise moving all of those rocks to position all summer. That is probably better for you than hours sitting at a sewing machine so it was a good trade off. The best part will be the new view of the gardens with all of the rock edging next spring. Winter is a good time to catch up on the sewing and to get your fabric fix.
How on earth do you keep track of thread? I'm always excited to throw a spool out; I never save them. But kudos to you for your many finishes and yardage gone.
