Gone with the Wind & Stash Report

Well it's done the Gone with the Wind quilt. I finished the borders and took a quick picture. I've got it on the quilting machine. In hopes of finishing it up this week. My friend wants to use the quilt as a sample for a quilt show she's vending at in the next few weeks. So this needs to get done soon. Besides that nothing else done this week, a few blocks made for a block of the month I'm doing. Until next time.

Stash Report Week # 6 & 7

Sorry but I wasn't around to do the stash report last week. So this week will cover both weeks. Well first the good news or should I start out with the bad. I think the bad will go first and end on the good. This week I bought 15 yards of fabric. I have been waiting for the "Gone With the Wind" fabric to come in and sure enough it did. I bought enough to make a quilt and the backing when the shop that I go to has buy 2 yards get the 3 yard free. I had to buy something. I know that everyone else would have done the same thing. With that said 15 yards came home with me. I got the backing fabric for free. Free fabric is a girls dream. So below is the fabric for the backing I just love it.

I've already got some of the the other fabric cut out and I'm piecing it together. I should have the quilt done this week.

Now for the good news I managed to finish a few tops the last few weeks. I was so glad to get more things done. So here are a few pictures. The first one is my logged on quilt I had this done a few weeks back but didn't take a picture.

Same for my Fire Escape quilt that I finished in the last quiltathon.

Next up is Savanna By Bonnie Blue Quilts. This was made with the Harper's Fairy Fabrics.

These next two pictures are from a class I took last year at the Quilt Festival in Chicago. I finally put the borders on. I really like these blocks alot and thing I have to make another quilt.

Next up is "Freeze Frame". I call it Flipped Out because of the flip flop fabric I used. I just love how it turned out. Thanks Judy. Yes all this came from my stash.

Last one is a block of the month that I made for our guild. I have the ladies doing these each month. I just picked some fabrics from my stash and started to sew a few blocks together. I need to give them the yardage so I come up with the center block and built around it. I've always wanted to do a medallion style quilt. I've not showed them the finish quilt, it's still a mystery to them.

With all that I'm finally finished. This was a long post, sorry about that. I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Until next time.

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.

Fabric used this week: 10.675 yards
Fabric Added this week: 2 yards
Fabric Added this year: 6.375 yards
Fabric used this year: 23.25 yards
Fabric Busted Total: 16.875 yards

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
