Now that I am home, more prepping of applique blocks are getting finished. I am also working on all the hand sewing of these blocks, as I did not get much done on our trip. We were too busy, and too tired by the end of the day.

Also in the works this week is the I spy quilt. All the blocks are cut out and sewing is happening. I had to order one fabric, so waiting on that one to arrive. Yes, it will be an addition to the stash, but I needed just the right black on white for this quilt.

Happy Sewing!

Stash Report

 

Crater Lake

Back from our road trip to Northern CA and Oregon, where we visited 3 national Parks, drove almost  3000 miles and had our reservations at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon cancelled on us, due to a power outage. It was a fun, but busy trip and we saw a lot of beautiful scenery.

Nothing finished, but I did get more of the paper pieced blocks for Dear Hannah done. I am now about 3/4 of the way finished with the 110 blocks for this quilt. Still have more applique blocks to prep.

No changes in the Stash for the last couple of weeks.

Used this week: 0 yards.

Used YTD: 53 yards.

Purchased this week: 0 yards.

Purchased YTD: 28.5 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 24.5 yards.

Have a wonderful week!

More blocks finished and more blocks being prepped for Dear Hannah. Still a ways to go on this one. In between I am starting on an I Spy Quilt for my youngest granddaughter. So will be starting on all the cutting this week.

This nifty tool above was a gift from Sandi. It is from Sew Be It Quilts I really love it. It holds the fabric in place while you cut. This one is the 24" size. There is a smaller 14" version that I will be looking into getting in the future.

Happy Sewing!

Stash Report

 

No Stash report for last week. I was busy in San Diego with Family and Friends, so no quilting was done. Had a wonderful time playing tourist with a trip to Balboa Park, Old Town and La Jolla Cove. It was great to catch up with my grandkids, daughters and friends.

Above is the third charity quilt that I have completed in the last couple of weeks. It is a pattern from one of the 3yard quilt books. Super simple and fun to get these done. Most of the fabric was courtesy of Sandi!

Also completed right before I left, was this quilt for my grandaughter's teacher. I will be quilting it this week and hope to get it in the mail later this week.

Purchased were some red/white/blue fabrics. With memorial day coming up I have been feeling patriotic and will put these to good use for a table runner/ placemats. I loved the plaids and could not pass them up. Will use leftovers for QOV blocks.

Used this week: 14 yards.

Used YTD: 53 yards.

Purchased this week: 4.5 yards.

Purchased YTD: 28.5 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 24.5 yards.

Have a great week!

Another Charity quilt was completed yesterday at my sewing group. The rest of the week I will be prepping more blocks for Dear Hannah, and working on some of the paper pieced blocks. I will be on my way to San Diego for Mothers day at the end of the week!

Happy Sewing!

Stash Report

 

Wicker quilt is finshed and ready for quilting. This will be a charity donation. Thanks again to Sandi for the donated kit. Wicker was a fast and fun pattern to put together using 1.5" strips and 2.5" strips. There is also a smaller version for a baby quilt. I can see making a few more of these for charity.

The next batch of paper pieced blocks for Dear Hannah were finished this week. More to come as I am about halfway done with all the blocks.

Nothing added to the stash. Still in the black for the year!

Used this week: 10 yards.

Used YTD: 39 yards.

Purchased this week: 0 yards.

Purchased YTD: 24 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 15 yards.

This week more applique blocks for Dear Hannah were prepped. I am also making progress on the Wicker quilt. Blocks were started yesterday at my Tuesday Sewing group and hope to get the quilt finished up this week.

This week is one of Sandi's cross stitch quilts on the longarm. Isn't it a beauty?

What are you working on this week?
