Stash Report Week # 5

Not to much to report this week. Nothing in nothing out. A few projects in the works, but nothing finished. I have however found a new love. That would be "Verna" by Kate Spain. I love this fabric. I have a feeling this will send me over the edge. I will have to buy some yardage. I also found that Fat Quarter Shop has the yardage and a new designer Block of the Month with Kate Spains 12 Days of Christmas fabric. I couldn't help my self and have already signed up. That won't start until June. In the mean time I need to finish up a few things so that I will have something for our guilds quilt show in September. Until next week.

Stash Report Week # 4

Wow, what a week. I got lots done. I finished the top of my class project from last week that's 3 yards out. I can add that in because I didn't get it done until after my week two stash report. I was also able to piece the left over fabrics together to get the backing 2 yards. So that's a plus. I managed to finished the top of my fire escape so that's more out of the stash 5.675 yards. I cut a few more things up. I was also working on the rest of the center medallion for my Mystic Forest quilt and found that I was short fabric. So I'm stalled on that until they send me a 10x10 square piece. I did forget that I didn't add that to my totals so that's 2 yards in. I also quilted a couple of small quilts for a new quilter, that just needed a little help. I have a short arm that I quilt my projects on, but I don't normaly do anyone else's. I felt bad and helped her, but that's another story. I'm not sure if it was just me or if anyone else would have done it so three of those quilted. I think that puts a wrap to this weeks item. Until next time

Quiltathon Post# 2

Wow this has been a great sewing weekend. I Finished the top from my workshop that I took yesterday. That's the first photo. I finished some pinwheel block for a block of the month I'm working on. The pieces will be put in a center block like the third picture. This is a Block of the Month from Painted Pony Quilt Shop called Mystic River. This is really out of the box for me fabric wise. It has a lot of brights & Kaffe Fassett like fabrics. I can't what till I have all the block. The last photo is Fire Escape by Terry Atkinson. I'm using some Amy Butler fabrics that I've had for sometime. I think that's it, wow that's a lot. I should have Fire Escape done this week, so I can have another finish. Until next time.

Stash Report Week # 3

Well another week down. I'm three weeks in a bought some fabric. I have a jelly roll of the Rouenneries by French General and have finally found the right pattern. I had to get some background and border fabric. I could have bought more, but this year I'm trying to use more of my stash. So 3.675 yards came home. I also took a workshop this week and learned lots of new tips to use in my quilting. I don't get to take to many because I work full time. When our guild has speakers that come on Saturdays I try to take them. I've made a lot of small things to put in quilts, but nothing finished to the point to call it done. I'm of to the machine to finish something this weekend for the quiltaton Judy has going. Until next time.

Quiltathon Post 1

This week was our Quilt Guild meeting and our speaker was Pam Buda from Heartspun Quilts. She did a great job on the lecture. We also had her come and do a workshop, we don't have to many on Saturdays. So today was the workshop. We learned alot of quick tips & techniques. This was a great class. Pam is real good and has alot of good ideas. So I sewed all day and only have a few bags. After I'm done here I'm of to the sewing machine to get more done. I also had a late night quilter last night and got a few pinwheel blocks done for a Block of the month I'm doing. I will have a few more pictures for tomorrows post. Until next time

Week #2

Well this week went by fast. I only got a little sewing done this week. I did cut out a quilt so that's something I can work on this week. I really wanted to sew today however we got a new TV for Christmas and decided it was time to put it up. I thought for sure it would only take an hour at the most. It turned into an all afternoon project. There went the sewing time. I have to say that going from a 27" TV to a 42" TV is quite a difference. Why we didn't do it soon is beyond me. I think it was because we had a TV that worked and was just fine. Well back to the stash report. Nothing in and nothing out so that's also good. Until next time

New Year, New Goals Week 1

It's been some time since my last post. I've not been slowing down but just haven't posted. First off I've been able to sew something the last three days. It's nice to have a long weekend, but back to regular schedule this week. I have finished two qults for Christmas and didn't take a picture of one of them. I've decided that this year will be a year of focus. Last year was a very hard year for myself and brought only a few good things. However this is not 2009 and this will be a good year. I can just tell already. Back to sewing I've got to get focased so that I can get some quilts done for our guilds quilt show. That event is in September, I have set a goal to get 15 quilts done and bust out some of my stash. I would love to get 200 yards busted. I'm setting high in hopes that I will make a push at the end. I don't have any idea why but I do work well under pressure. I have managed to get a quilt top done over the last few days. So that's a plus already. I also hope that I will post updates more often. So to start the year I've used 7.5 yards of fabric. Until next time
