Stash Report

I only post the yardage of projects I actually complete - easier to keep track of what I have and have not completed - finished March's Table Rnner - hard to figure out exactly how many yards of fabric it used -  I figure at least 1.5 yards for the front and back and binding - probably more, but since it's all stash - underestimating won't hurt ! Still nothing in ... although I've been watching some online sales ....


Used this Week: 3 yards
Used year to Date: 26 yards
Added this Week: 0 yards
Added Year to Date: 0 yards
Net Used for 2012: -26 yards

Design Wall Monday -

Yep - I know today is only Friday - but this weekend will be spent with organizing the household, cleaning, laundry, and I have to whip up 4 t-shirts for my daughter's relay team - so won't be making anything else!  So - this was ready by March 2nd - only 1 day late ~!

March Table Runner

I don't really like green, and since I'm working from stash only this year - I had to do some fixing here and there.   I wasn't sure if I wanted the spool blocks to look like spools or bowties for St. Paddy's day - either way - it's finished - I'm happy with it - although the border didn't turn out the way I wanted.  Now on to design April's and figure out how much fabric I used in this one so I can deduct it from this years total !

Design Wall Monday

Did get some time to work on my March table runner this weekend - looks like it might be done by the first weekend after all.  After I laid it out the way I wanted - I realized I was 2 border blocks short - but after making so many - 2 more shouldn't take long.

Stash Report



I only post the yardage of projects I actually complete - easier to keep track of what I have and have not completed - finished my mom's birthday quilt - hard to figure out exactly how many yards of fabric it used - it's roughly 80 by 80, so I'm saying about 18 yards of fabric - counting the binding and backing.  Still nothing in ... although I've been watching some online sales ....

Used this Week: 18 yards
Used year to Date: 23 yards
Added this Week: 0 yards
Added Year to Date: 0 yards
Net Used for 2012: -23 yards

FINISHED - Mom's Birthday Quilt

Finally got pictures of it - I really liked how it turned out - and it'll be good to add the #'s to my fabric out next week !

This will be off in the hands of the UPS man tomorrow - hope you enjoy it mom !

Design Wall Monday

Actually had a few moments to sew over the weekend - so I got the corner blocks of my border finished - I really liked how they turned out.  Since this is only a table runner, I made a 4" sash - so some of those corner block pieces were much smaller than I'm used to working with - but it worked.  I designed this myself using EQ - so a bit harder trying to figure out the correct measurements and angles - but fun !

Valentines Bag and Quilt Label

I've gotten a bit of sewing in this week - it began with a rush to get dd #3 a Valentines Bag ready for school the next day - turned out pretty neat I think -
 Then this morning
wanted to get a label on my
mom's birthday quilt so I could
get it in the mail - really liked how
this first one turned out - so much
better than those fabric pens that
eventually fade.
