Week 4 - Stash Report

Again no change in my stash report because the "coughing crud/virus thing" has turned into full blown bronchitis.  A couple of prescriptions later, and a loan from the bank to pay for them, and I am beginning to feel a little better.  At least I am sleeping a bit better . . . perhaps enough to venture into my quilt room and turn on the machine . . .

The twins went on a field trip!

Clelia and Abigail went on a field trip to the New England Aquarium and Quincy Market in Boston!  Here they are wrapped in their cocoons!  They look like two little porcelain dolls, don't they?

Design Wall Monday

Yes, I am still working on the Carolina Christmas Quilt, but the good news is I only have 10 blocks left before I can move on to some other pressing projects.  I am going on 2 Quilt Retreats, one at the end of this month and the other at the end of February, so I've got some prep work to do!

I also am learning to knit.  I want to learn to knit a pair of socks.  My sister got me a pair of hand knitted wool socks for Christmas and I love them.  This is a picture of my practice piece.

Design Wall Monday

It's Design Wall Monday once again and  I am still plugging away on Bonnie Hunter's Carolina Christmas.  I don't have a Christmas Quilt in my collection, so this one will be really special until I make another!  Our local Quilt Guild is having a weekend retreat at the end of February and we are going to make a mystery quilt and I finally made the decision to pull more fabrics from my Christmas Stash, so perhaps I will have 2 Christmas Quilts for 2010!  I finally was able to finish the 48 Poinsettia Blocks I had posted on the Design Wall last week, so there are 12 Fox & Geese blocks on the wall today, only 40 more to go . . .

Week 2 - Stash Report

Well this weeks report is much more fun filled than last weeks "NO ACTIVITY"!  Last Sunday, one of my BFF's asked if I wanted to accompany her to a local Quilt Shop -- OK, that's a no brainer!  I was waiting at the curb before I'd even hung up the phone.  Since she is new to this Stash Report business, I practiced an extraordinary amount of restraint and only purchased 2 fat quarters to her double digit yardage . . . only to return to the said quilt shop later in the week, by myself, where I did the damage . . . but look at the photos, isn't that brown floral the cutest ever?  It's Moda's "Birdie" by Me and My Sister Designs - their fabrics always make me smile! 
The red and the white fabrics are only fat quarters to be combined with some of Mark Lipinski's black and white line.  I am contemplating a disappearing nine-patch quilt as they're fast, fun and easy to construct and I think they look great too!  Oh, I almost forgot, regarding the used yardage, I finished 2 BOM blocks and pulled stash fabric for our Guild's Quilt Retreat in February. So, without further ado, here is my report:

Fabric in this week: 9.25 yards

Total fabric in YTD: 9.25 yards

Fabric used this week: 11.5 yards
Total fabric used YTD: 11.5 yards

I won, I won!

I won a charm pack of Spring Fling fabric by Moda from Liz at Spinning Star!  All I had to do was post on her blog answering this question: what new quilting technique do you want to try in 2010?  My answer was to make a quilt with scalloped edges and then bind it!  Then she used the random number generator to pick a winner, and I won!  So how would you answer that question?

Design Wall Monday

Yippee, it's my favorite day of the week - Design Wall Monday! I have both sides of my Design Wall going this week. On one side I have some of the in-progress blocks from Bonnie Hunter's Carolina Christmas Mystery and the other side holds a few of the 100 D9P (Disappearing 9 Patch) blocks from an online swap. I am trying to determine if I will sash them or just lump them all together as they are on the wall now . . . decisions, decisions, decisions!
