Stash Report

   

Hope you are all having a beautiful Easter with family and friends!

The cute strawberry charm and fabric, along with these patriotic fabrics arrived this week from Sandi as an early birthday present. (yes, April is my birthday month) Loved the panel, which is celebrates America 250. I will enjoy putting this one together and quilting it up.

I did have a finish this week! Mystic Garden was done and will go into the quilting que. I really love how this turned out and enjoyed all the hand applique.

Spring as definetly sprung here in the desert! My favorite Palo Verde were all blooming when I returned from my California trip.

We all had a great time celebrating Mom's Birthday in Sacramento. We took mom out to dinner my first  night there, and then shopping and lunch on her birthday. We also had a family dinner one night with a wonderful cake. I also had some great time just hanging out with Mom. It was a really great trip!

Happy 88 Mom!

This week I am prepping more blocks for my Mystic Garden UFO. Preppin applique is always a slow process. I will also be finishing up a couple more tablerunners for the Quilt show Boutique that is coming up in just a couple of weeks. Nothing like waiting until the last minute. 

Have a great week!

Stash Report

No posts last week as we were in Texas, visiting Brenda Papadakis of Dear Jane fame. She recently moved and we were able to visit her in her new home. It was great to see her and catch up on all that she has been doing. We also caught up with a couple of fellow Janiacs, Pat and Joanne. So good to see everyone.

Brenda, Joanne, me and Pat.

And of course, while in Texas we visited a wonderful quilt shop called Fiberworx Fabric Studio in McQueeney Texas. This was a wonderful shop with lots of panels, and some great fabric lines. Of course I ended up buying the pattern above and fabrics below. This will be for the 250 Birthday quilt that I want to make.

Yes a big add to the stash, but I hope to use these up soon as they are on my cutting table ready to go!

Busy week with family visiting and a trip to Texas next week. Not much sewing getting done, but I was able to prep these blocks for my UFO project Mystic Garden. Three blocks done and ready for the hand sewing, which I will tackle on our trip to Texas.

Enjoy the rest of the week and weekend!

 

Stash Report

Wonky Wishes

Yes, finally it is done! This is from Bonnie Hunter's pattern Wonky Wishes and uses up a lot of scraps. I pulled from my 2.5" squares and leftover strips for this one. Pretty simple, except the stripped pieced sashing takes a bit of time. I did make mine a bit smaller, it is more of a throw size than the twin size from the pattern. All fabrics were from my stash and the backing will also be a scrappy backing.

My other finish was this pillow. I had stitched the sashiko piece during out last road trip and decided to make it into a pillow.

Used this week: 16 yards.

Used YTD: 33 yards.

Purchased this week: 0 yards.

Purchased YTD: 5 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 28 yards.

Off to a much better start in using up my stash!!

These are two of the 3 tablerunners I am working on this week. These will be for our guilds boutique at the upcoming quilt show in March. I am hoping to make a few more, with a spring or southwest theme. Will have to see how far I get. I am also finishing up Wonky Wishes, another Bonnie Hunter pattern, and UFO #2 for the year. Check back on Sunday and see the results.

Lupine and Laughter

Finally a finish! Lupine and Laughter is done and will be in the quilting que. I still need to put together a backing, which will be out of the scrappy purples that are left. Binding will also be scrappy. All fabrics were from my stash, did not have to buy anything.👏👏👏 Even though these are not necessarily colors I would use, it did come out great. Maybe one of my Granddaughters will want this one??

A small finish this weel- Patriot Dreams Banner. Lupine and Laughter is still in the works, but heading towards a finish this week! Pictures below are from my class at Road, When Perfect isnt the Point. I really enjoyed this class and Jemima is a great teacher. Love some of her other patterns too. You can find them here.

The other class was a Tiny Piecing class. The blocks were amazing and I learned alot about how to paper piece these tiny blocks. Giuseppe was also a fun teacher, and very entertaining. His sample quilt is below and is amazing. I ended up using the scraps from my first class for this class.

Mini Courthouse Steps.

No adds this week and just my small finish above. Still in the red, but will be out of it soon.
