Stash Game Sign-up and Rules thread

[hastings]

Get 'yer spot! Don't forget to turn off signatures so this will load faster.
Thanks bArb for letting us shamelessly steal the past rules lol.



---------- THE RULES ------------

Stash Game will begin September 15 and end October 15

Fabric purchased before the Stash Game and received during the Stash Game counts as stash, not as negative points. This includes fabric ordered, but not paid for (ie, from a co-op).

Fabric purchased during Stash Game, but not received until after the Stash game, counts against you.

Sewing from personal stash counts, but sewing from business stash does not count, only if you differentiate.

+8 per yard sewn from stash

+4 per yard sold from stash

+4 per yard given away from stash

+4 per yard thrown away

-8 per yard bought during Stash Game

+4 per yard sewn from fabric purchased during stash game

+3 for UFO completed (does not count as regular yardage)

+1 per type of notion used (interfacing, dye, fabric scrap, buttons, snaps, binding, bias tape, ribbing, rick-rak, zippers, stabilizer, etc.) Thread does not count as a notion!

Stretch lace counts as yardage.

+1 extra per for accessorising (matching hat with dress, etc.)

+1 for Charity

+1 per hoop for machine embroidery

Dying: Dye counts for +1 per garment, as if it was a notion.

Mending: No points for mending.

Quilts: If you quilt/bind/ aka finish a quilt during the stash game then the following would apply:

1) Backing counts as yardage

2) Batting counts as yardage

3) Binding counts as notion

4) Pre-patched fabric counts as yardage (this includes quilt tops completed before the beginning of the Stash Game as well as cheater pre-patch fabric)

5) Quilt pieced during the Stash Game counts as yardage.

Swaps: Receiving finished product in exchange for stash sewing does not count against you. Receiving yardage/notions/patterns for stash sewing DOES count against you.

Thrift store purchases: If you buy an article of clothing to turn into something else, then you calculate points based on the yardage the pattern requires.

I do have a child under 1 year, and I aquired NO FABRIC at all during the stash game.

UGH! Having everyone get so sick for almost a week really killed my sewing time and right when I'd gotten motivated again.

I *think* I've got enough gift bags for a while. Between the Stash Games and the Challenge Game... I've gotten a ton of the fabric about 40 yards worth not including the linings that I bought... 4 YEARS ago to make gift bags out of all sewn up.

[Storm]

I will play this time, this will be my first stash game...

list of goals- make two baby quilts for gifts...
finish a wallhanging from last year...
make my mom a pair of pajama pants...
finish quilting and binding a quilt in the works...
reduce my stash (which has grown considerably since working at a fabric store, LOL)
recover a chair cushion
sew halloween costume
whatever else I can come up with...
BUT mainly I want to not come home from work every night with a bag of fabric!!!! If I can achieve that for even a week I will be happy, LOL
