Stash Report Week 25, 2013

It has been one of those weeks where I didn't know what day was what.  On Tuesday I kept thinking it was Wednesday but by Thursday I kept thinking that tomorrow was Wednesday. I know I'm confused too. I think I just wanted to find time to get into the sewing room.  I did manage to get in 15 to 20 minutes here and there so I got some blocks made but there were no finishes.  I only have three-quarters of a yard to show for from making labels and ornaments.

• Added last week: O Yards


• Added this year: 3o6.50 Yards


• Used last week: .75 Yards


• Used this year: 164.00


• Net 2012  -142.50  

My sister is coming to visit this week so there will be sewing happening but there will most likely be some buying going on too. :)

Have a sew great week.

I'm linking up with Judy for more stash reports

Jelly Roll Sew a Long Week 2

I'm making progress and that's a good thing.  I have all my units sewn and half ironed.  I'll have my blocks ready come Wednesday for the next instruction.

I'm having fun looking at everyone's fabric and blocks.  Can't wait to see their finished quilts.

Head over to Aunt Reen's Place to check out all the fabulous fabric.

Stash Report Week 24, 2013

I didn't think my numbers were going to move this week.  I've been busy in the yard and getting the house ready for guest coming this week but I got a chance to finish up some king size pillowcases and start on some Christmas ornaments.  Still no where close to breaking even which is my only goal. :)  It doesn't look good for the rest of the month because my sister will be here during the Southern California Quilt Shop Hop...Oh dear I think I'm heading for trouble.

Where did the day go?

I was so excited yesterday to get the next instruction for the jelly roll sew-a-long.  I had the whole day planned.

It was suppose to go like this:  Breakfast-cleanup kitchen-water pumpkins-plant naked lady bulbs-finish upstairs kitchen-be done with all this by noon.  Then I would go see someone about a memory quilt and then I would come home and start step two of the sew-a-long.

Here's how the day went:  Breakfast- clean up kitchen-sweep floor-might as well mop it too oh yeah and the bathroom right off the kitchen too.  Then Mr. Bill  says you want to go preview an auction?  OK . Water the pumpkins and sunflowers, plant the naked ladies, water them too, while Mr. Bill takes a set of rims in to get tires put on them (he'll put them on my car this weekend.) Then I start on the upstairs until he gets back.  Change clothes. Go preview auction. It's an online auction.  Come back home and register. Go see lady about memory quilt.  Come back home I'm approved to bid on line.  Place my bids.  Back to work on the upstairs.  WOW it's 6:30 and I haven't even started dinner.

We finely eat dinner a little after 7pm. I never did make it into the sewing room yesterday.  So I'll just try again today!  Mr. Bill has a meeting tonight so I don't have to make dinner so there's an hour right there.  :)

Now I'm off to water pumpkins and try again! Happy Thursday!

 

Stash Report Week 23, 2013

I'm so far behind I'll be lapping myself very soon.  It's been two very busy weeks around here.  The mornings have been nice and cool so I've been working in the yards a lot.

That means not much has been happening in the sewing room but that sure has not stopped me from starting new projects or adding to the stash. I found several large pieces that will be great for backs and at really great price (like $3.00 yd) so what else could I do.

Judy asked today if we have goals for our stash busting.  This is my second year keeping track of my usage.  Last year I added 6 yards to my stash.  My goal this year was to do better, but as of this week I'm way behind.  I have a lot of catching up to do.

 

• Added last 2 weeks: 46.00 yds


• Added this year: 306.50 yds


• Used last 2 weeks: 12 yds


• Used this year: 157.25 yds


• Net 2012  -149.25  

I'm linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times.  Head over there to see how some are really using their stash.

 

Jelly Roll Sew-a-Long

I've started a new project !  I know, how much fun!  I can tell you're excited for me.

It's the Jelly Roll sew along over a Aunt Reen's.  I've  had this fabric maturing in the stash for while.  It's time to use these beautiful batiks.

Design Wall Monday June 3,2013

I'm loving me some red and blue pinwheels on my design wall.  I love pinwheels, but I can get them backwards so easily that I usually avoid them.

This will become a 4th of July quilt soon.
