A slow start to the year, but have some real stash busters on their way to completion! The good thing is, no purchases this week! That might be about to change, as a I join Sandi later this week for the San Diego Crusin Quilters, our yearly shop hop.

Ok, So still in the negative, that will soon change!!!

UFO Finish, February 28, 2013

Hooray!!! I finally have a finish for 2013. Below is Mexican Stars, pattern by Southwind Designs, fabric from Sew Batik.  It is a small quilt, 32x32, and goes together quickly. All I need to do is quilt and bind!

Happy Monday All!!

Well kinda.. Have to return to work today after a great week off Skiing (and getting some sewing in) in Mammoth.

I will be working on my Dear Jane Quilt for the next few weeks. Trying to get as much completed, before a trip to Asilomar at the end of March, where I will be taking the Dear Jane Workshop.  I have completed 7 rows- 6 are sewn together below, and have six more to go!!

Six rows completed!

This week finds me on a much needed ski vacation in Mammoth Lakes. Lots of snow here this year! So when we are done skiing I am working on my projects. The Janome always travels with me. The first project that needed to be finished by today are the neutral strings blocks for a Block Exchange.  I have about 24 of them done and need to make 38 of them.

Next I have the blocks made in one of the classes from Road to California Quilt Show. This was from Marti Michell class Seven Sisters Simplified and turned out to be a great way to make this block with NO set in seams! Below is a close up of the blocks and a picture of Marti with my blocks. It was a fun class.

The last thing on my design wall are blocks made in the second class at Road. This was a Mystery Class by Karen Sievert. (See Karen with my blocks below) The Pattern is called "Expect the Unexpected"  It has two different blocks that create a secondary pattern. Below are my blocks. This is a BIG quilt, 90x104, and will most likely be on my design wall for weeks to come.

What are you working on this week! See a multitude of other projects at Patchwork Times.

Sunday Stash Report Jan 27, 2013.

The first report of the year!

After a trip to Road to California Quilt show this weekend, I have only additions to report. Purchased some additional neutrals for a class taken at Road, along with some blacks for a future project.  I also could not resist the Liberty Table Runner below- I love anything patriotic. Looking forward to making an easy project for a change.

So I have started the year in the red! Will have to get something finished to turn this around fast.

Design Wall Monday January 7, 2013

Happy Monday All!!  It has been a bit rainy here in San Diego, but should be clear and sunny the next few days. 

This week I have two projects going. The first is to finish up the Easy Street Blocks. The corner pieces and one of the blocks are all complete, so will be working on the other block- there are 16 of those to put together.

The second project are neutral string blocks that are part of an exchange with a group of quilting friends. We have to make 36- 9 inch string blocks that can be used in a number of different Bonnie Hunter projects. The inspiration was from her newest book, "String Fling". Check it out-there are a lot of great patterns.

Check out Patchwork Times for inspiration!  Have a great week!
