Stash Report Week # 13

I have nothing new to post. I have been working on the Quilt Alone Project. I have the last border to put on. I'm so glad that this turned out so well. I was scared about the fabrics, but I love the quilt. Until next week

Quilt Along


Yes, I got the pictures in. I'm very happy with the way this quilt is turning out. Until next time.

Stash Report Week #12

Well I have nothing to report. I've been working on the Quilt Along Project and a few others. I'm on our laptop today because our desk top computer got a virus yesterday. My husband and I know somethings about computers, but not a whole lot. We going to have to being it in and have it cleaned, that's what my brother in law has told us. I'm hoping to get this fixed so that I can download my next photo for the Quilt Along. Since all our photo stuff is on the other computer. I'm sure glad that we have another computer. I think with all this going on I'm going to get a laptop of my own. So in a way this was a good thing for the computer to get this virus. Until next time.

Quilt Along

Well I have a picture for the Quilt Alone. I managed to get a few blocks done today, we had a real bad storm and didn't have power for a few hours. That's what I get for waiting until the last minute to make my blocks. I should get the rest done tomorrow night, but wanted to get a picture so I can send it to Judy to get the next step. TaTa for now.

Stash Busting Week #10

Wow week 10 that's hard to believe. I've not done to much this week. I need to do some sewing today to get the Bear Paw block done for tomorrow. I also didn't buy anything this week. I did get a chance to go to a quilt show yesterday. It was in Morris, IL they had over 45 vendors and I managed to buy nothing. I should have a picture up later of my finished Bear Paws. Until next time.

Stash Busting Week #9


This was a very good week for busting the stash. I finished my bamboo & pinwheels quilt. That is the purple, green & brown quilt at the top. What's nice about this pattern is that you make two quilts in one. The other half still needs to be put together. I'm not a big fan of the fabric so I'm having a hard time putting it together. This was a kit that my friend Karen & I bought in Houston in 2007. We were at the show all of an hour before we bought some thread that was being discontinued for $7.00 a cone(3000 yards cones), but anyway we were walking around the vendor area and found this quilt and we both looked at each other and said" This will go with that thread we just bought". That was it we bought the fabric kit. I decided that I needed to get a few things done before I go to the Rosemont Quilt show in April. I've really been thinking what were we on when we each bought this kit. I can't even say we drank the night before because that didn't happen until later. Well enough of that story. The other thing I got done this week was a quilt for our bedroom this spring. I took a picture of the quilt this week when it was half done. I'm going to have to have some help taking the finished quilts picture because it's 90X108. What's good is that it used alot of fabric. I was also able to piece the backing. I just need to go a get the batting to finish the quilt up. Until next week.
