Episode 64: I Think I’ll Re-Stash. JK

Just kidding! I couldn’t help it. So 2022, right?

Let’s talk #StashbustingTheNewYear with big blanket projects for using things up, what you’re stashbusting with, your oldest & moldiest stash, how you store it, and many more scary confessions.

My question for you: 

What are some major yardage stashbusters, other than blankets? I’m thinking sweater coats, home decor, whatever…
