Stash Report

This week there is a finish! Below is Between the Lines a pattern by Denyse Schmidt. The blocks were all foundation pieced on tear away stabilizer. The stabilizer worked great in keeping all the strips from stretching, but was a little bit hard to remove. The next time I will use paper.

Between the Lines

This quilt was super easy, except for lining up all the sashing. It took a little un-sewing to get it all matched up and as straight as possible. No purchases this week, so stash usage is looking better. Have a great week, and check back later this week as I will be posting from the Dear Jane Cowgirl Round up in San Antonio!

Used this week: 20 yards.

This week I have a couple of projects I will be working on. 

Blocks are finished below for the Denyse Schmidt quilt. Check out her site for more modern quilt patterns. Will be working on the sashing and borders next. Hope to finish this by the end of the week!

Next up I will be working on the 5th installment of Freedom Rings. See the the 4th installment below. This is only a 7 month project so hope to finish it up sometime in July.

Lot's to keep me busy this week. Coming up next week, a trip to San Antonio for the Second Annual Dear Jane Round-up. Looking forward to a whole week of working on my Dear Jane Quilt with Brenda and the all the Cowgirls!

The Big Reveal!

Here is my Sunshine Challenge Quilt-Uncle Sam. This pattern is from Quiltmaker Magazine July/August 2000. Yes, it is that old! Thanks to Sunshine Quilt Guild for giving me a reason to finally make it! I will be hanging in my office at work from Memorial Day through the Fourth of July.

This week I am working on a quilt for my daughter and her husband. The first of 25 blocks is completed. This quilt is made with fabrics from Cotton + Steel fabrics that were purchased last year at Rosie's Calico Cupboard. I like how the first block has turned out, and this will be a very modern quilt. Pattern is from Denyse Schmidt.
