More Applique blocks prepped and added to my stack for future hand sewing on our next road trip. I am hoping to spend the next few weeks getting all the applique blocks prepped. Have about 20 more to go.

Nothing finished this week and no adds to the stash. Hope to make progress on the Wicker project and maybe do a little cutting for the next charity project.

More Dear Hannah blocks on the design wall this week. I am slowly working through the paper pieced blocks and also prepping more applique blocks to take along on our next road trip.

During my sewing group on Tuesday, I am working on the quilt above as another charity quilt. This is called Wicker and the kit was donated by Sandi. It is a pretty simple design and should go fast.

Happy Sewing.

Stash Report

 

Little Colorado River.

Last week was by Birthday and we spent it on a little getaway to Greer, AZ, about 4 hours away in the White Mountains.  We had a lovely time, with a hike along the Little Colorado River, a great birthday dinner at Molly Butler's resturant, a visit to the museum in Springerville, and of course some shopping at the quilt shop in Egar, AZ. The only downside was the wind, we had gusts up to 50 mph. 

These were the purchases at Quilters Haven in Egar, AZ, a cute little shop with a nice selection of fabrics. Most of the fabrics above will be used as backings for some smaller projects that are in the works. So here is the damage for the week.

Used this week: 0 yards.

Used YTD: 29 yards.

Purchased this week: 7 yards.

Purchased YTD: 24 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 5 yards.

Have a great week!

Stash Report

 

This was one of the more difficult paper pieced blocks from Dear Hannah. Blocks finish at 4.5", so you can imagine how tiny the pieces were. I think it turned out pretty good, but it did take a couple of hours just for this one block. Yes, a couple of hours! Only 93 pieces!!!!

Nothing added to the stash this week and nothing finished. I will be heading out on a short Birthday trip later this week, so may have an opportunity to hit a few quilt shops on the way.

Used this week: 0 yards.

Used YTD: 29 yards.

Purchased this week: 0 yards.

Purchased YTD: 17 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 12 yards.

Have a great week!

Yesterday at our chapter meeting we celebrated 40 years of Sunrise Stitchers. There was a slide show of past events, a wonderful Lunch and cake. Also shared were all the projects made from BOM's, workshops and challenges during the past 40 years. I shared the tulip quilt below, from blocks that I won a few years ago.

We were all given this cute pin as a party favor.

This week I am working on Dear Hannah Blocks. Below are some of the applique blocks prepped and ready for hand sewing. They will be a take along on an upcoming trip.

More to come...... Happy Sewing!

Happy April!

This week I have pulled out my Dear Hannah and will start prepping more of the applique blocks for our future travels. I need to have something to work on while in the car and during those times when we are just sitting around. Our first tip will be in mid April and we are headed up to Greer AZ for a couple of days.

Here is a fast quilt that I will be working on today at my sewing group. Thank you Sandi!

Happy Sewing!
