Design Wall Monday

There's nothing on the Design Wall today, but I did hang an antique quilt on the wall above our bed . . . that has to account for something!

Stash Report - Weeks 42 + 43

Not a lot of activity around here other than longarming . . . I did manage to "shop my stash" for suitable backing fabric for two UFOs, so that accounts for the 5 yards used this week!  I hope to be able to show you the finished projects real soon, but for now, only one of the tops will have to suffice!

Used this Week: 5 yards

Used year to Date: 84 yards

Added this Week: 0 yards

Added Year to Date: 40 yards

Net Used Year to Date: 44 yards

Two more off the frame!

 Just finished Linda's quilt and I had a lot of fun doing this one! I am afraid this one may have been in my possession for almost a year . . .

Prior to loading Linda's quilt, I did Jean's.  It's a veggie quilt for her husbands boss who is a farmer.  Jean was able to find vegetable fabrics of all the vegetables the farmer grows!  My granddaughters really enjoyed this one - I can see one of these in my future for them!

I only have 3 more customer quilts and I will be done and I can begin on a few of mine! I even have the backing for several of mine, so the dilemma will be which one to begin first!

Who is that hiding in the Quilt Cave?

Most longarmers whose blogs I visit have at some point in time posted pictures of dogs sprawled out under their machines or cats draped over the take-up bars.  Me?  No dogs, no cats, just a granddaughter!

Design Wall Monday

Well, here is the kit I purchased from Sew Batik at Quilting with Machines this weekend. I cannot wait to get started on it, but it will have to wait as I have several customer quilts to be quilted and they come first! 

Pictured below is another of Carolyn's BOM Quilts that I just took off the frame - I think I only have one more of hers and I can move on to the next quilt in que!

Stash Report - Weeks 40 + 41

No change this week as I have been a longarming fool trying to get caught up - that's never gonna happen! Anywho, I attended Quilting with Machines at Sawmill Creek in Huron, OH this past week and took several classes. It was awesome and I learned a lot which I would now like to try, BUT I need to practice first.   This is my friend Carolyn's quilt from a BOM and she is gifting it to her boss!   I used the  Al Fresco pantograph by Hermione Agee of Australia - I love all of her designs and they are fun to stitch out!  These were big blocks too, 16 inches!  Well, on to the report:

Used this Week: 0 yards

Used year to Date: 79 yards

Added this Week: 0 yards

Added Year to Date: 40 yards

Net Used Year to Date: 39 yards

I did purchase a kit from Sew Batik, but I have not counted it in this report, I'll do it next week as it's wrapped up so pretty and I don't feel like dismantling it now to figure out the yardage!  I will show pictures of that purchase tomorrow for DWM!
