Stash Report Week 33, 2012

I'm thrilled with all that I've finished up this week.

Counting Bears is ready for quilting.  Made and attached the binding on Sweet Treat.  Made the binding for the QOV that I'm quilting tomorrow. Finished up the Christmas Flannel (I think)  I stopped with the first boarder because of the backing fabric I have, now I think it looks unfinished.   I think if I add the border I can cut the back and add some color to it.  I'm adding a photo of the front and back let me know what you think.  But I'm counting out the fabric used so far.

 



Here is the border fabric



Love the back maybe add solid on sides or down the middle?



 

A trip to Joann's cost me 5 1/2 yards.  Nine steps forward and five steps back.  LOL

• Added this week:  5.50


• Added this year:  166.75


• Used this week:  9.75


• Used this year:  121.25


• Net Used this year: -45.5

Progress Feels Good

Wednesday was a good day for making progress.  Starting with a trip to the Apple store to pick up a wireless keyboard for Mr. Bill and lunch at our favorite El Indio.  I found a computer class I want to take but it doesn't start until mid-October.  In the afternoon I started some chili in the crock pot.  Mr. Bill had a meeting so that meant sewing time for me.

Then it was time to move on to the sewing room.  The weather was a little cooler today and with three fans going I was able to get some sewing done.  I finished the Counting Bears top.  I got the back done (ironed) and the batting cut and it's all ready to go with me on Monday to be quilted.  I so excited to do some of my own quilting.



I also got the binding machined sewn on the disappearing nine patch, I'll start doing the hand sewing this morning while I wait for Mr. Bill at the dentist.  I trimmed up my Sweet Treat quilt just back from the quilt and got the binding made.  I would have sewn it on the quilt but I was distracted by this beautiful sunset.



 

Then I came down stairs to have some dinner at 8pm.  A little bit of chili and left over chips from El Indio was yummy good.  I know I should eat earlier but that just cuts in to my sewing time.

Yesterday I also realized that the comments had been turned off.  In July the spammers had found my blog.  I know, my little ole blog.  I have less than 100 post. I'm leaning as I go.  I don't even know how to count visitors or add buttons and the spammers found me?  Well comments are back on I hope.  Now if I could figure out what wordpress password I need to comment on blogger blogs I'd be a happy camper. :)

I do like days when I feel productive.

Design Wall Monday - June 25, 2012

I have a finish! It's been a while since I've really could say done.  I finished it yesterday so it was too late for the stash report and I haven't put anything new up on the wall.  I have a top that is boarders close to being done so that is coming out as soon as I finished the backing for this.

It's my Sweet Treat quilt along from May, that's right, the one I wasn't going to do.  I'm so glad that I did, even Mr. Bill really liked it and wanted to know "how come I don't have any quilts like that?" Do you think it was a hint?
