This week I am working away on catching up with Bonnie Hunter's mystery, Celtic Solstice. If you have not played along with Bonnie on one of her mystery quilts, try it out. It starts the week of Thanksgiving and goes through the end of the year, with a new clue posted every Friday.

 

This year, has been a little tough for me to keep up, so I have many of the clues partially done. Below are parts of the different clues. I have also chosen different colors than Bonnie's. I am using Red-Gold-Purple-Green, instead of Orange-Yellow-Blue Green. I am also trying to use all fabrics from my stash, though I did need to purchase a bit more of the green and purple.

Clue 1 Finished!

Clue 2 Almost done!

Clue 3 Finished

Clue 4 These strips will be 120 4 patches.

Clue 5 was released last Friday and will use the half square triangles from clue 3 with the purple and neutral. Will try to catch up this week in time for this Friday's clue. Wish me luck!

Sunday Stash Report December 29, 2013

Happy Holiday's to All!

 

 

I had not realized how long it has been since my last post. My full-time job has kept me very busy for the last 6 weeks, and has not left much time for blogging or sewing.  But now that things have calmed down a bit, I can get back to both.

This will be the last stash report for the year. I do have a finish to report, my Seven Sisters quilt, which was started last January in a class with Marti Michell. I have not had too much time to hit any quilt shops, but did go yesterday to purchase a few more greens and purples for Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt that I have been trying to catch a few minutes here and there to work on.

Sunday Stash Report November 10, 2013

It is really nice to report a finish this week. My Jamestown Landing is done!! This was started last year and was one of my UFO's for this year. Nice to have it finished.

I also completed the block below for Sunshine Guild on Tuesday Night. This is another Bonnie Hunter free pattern called "Dancing Nine Patches"

A couple of adds to report for last week also. Took a trip to Fat Quarter Quilt Shop located in Vista a little over a week ago. This is one of my favorite shops in San Diego and has a great selection of reproduction fabrics. A gift card from my friend Sandi at Kwiltnkats came in handy!! Thanks Sandi!

This week I am back to working on the Jamestown Landing. Finally have all the string blocks done- there are 168 of them- and have started to put the rows together. Hope to complete this by the end of October.

 

I will also be working on two applique projects. One is from Temecula Quilt Company and is a block of the month. I am working on Block 5 this week. 
+

The other appliqued project that I am working on is called A different Path and is in the October issue of American Patch Work and Quilting.  It is a drunkards path that I am appliqueing all the circle pieces. Thought it would be a great way to use up all my scraps and it is a great project to take anywhere. I have about 70 of the 256 blocks completed.

Sunday Stash Report October 8, 2013

Wow- It has been almost a month since my last post! Time is sure flying by.

DH and I just returned home from a vacation last week in Yellowstone- The scenery was amazing, but unfortunately we were affected by the government shutdown, and the closure of the park and had to cut our visit short. We took this opportunity to drive up to Bozeman Montana and Big Sky Country. Which leads me to my Stash Report for last week.

Bozeman is home to at least 5 quilt shops- I made it to three and yes, purchased a few things along the way.

The first shop we visited was called Reproduction Fabrics. Margo has an awesome shop that only carries, you guessed it, reproduction fabrics. She does most of her business online, so the shop is only open from 12-3. If you ever want to know anything about Reproductions, Margo is the one to ask-she is a wealth of information.  It is a must visit if you are in the area and yes, I did not go home empty handed. Below are a couple of pictures of Margo and the shop.

 

 

Our second stop was in Downtown Bozeman at Main Street Quilting Company. This shop was featured in the Spring/Summer issue of Quilt Sampler. This shop has something for everyone- great selection of novelty, modern, and western themed fabrics.

Our last stop for the day, (yes, I got DH to visit three quilt shops in one day!) was called the Silver Thimble.  It did not look like much from the outside, but inside the first thing that caught my eye was the Judy Niemeyer quilt called Golden Harvest below, and yes I did buy the pattern! I also purchased the Twister Jack pattern below and fabrics to go with.

 

 

 

 

 

So, unfortunately the numbers are not going in the right direction, but boy did I have fun!

 

Used this week: 0 yards.

Used Year to date: 112.25.

Purchased this week: 15.0 yards.

Purchased Year to date: 43.0

Net Fabric Used in 2013: 69.25
