Sunday's Report

I have the three labels made and sewn onto their respective quilts. I need to put a sleeve on my Earth, Wind and Fire quilt by Friday for turning in to the fair. The next project to be made is this years quilt to be donated to the Marin Cat Connection. I have the fabric all washed and ready to go. It's going to be in flannels.

I finally found the perfect fabric for the background fabric for the Bird quilt I am going to make after the cat quilt. Hmmm I seem to be on an animal theme here. I went to the Santa Rosa Quilt Show today with some friends and a had a fun time. I was good at the show only adding 3 fat quarters to my black and white stash. Then on the way to dinner, we stopped at a local store that had recently moved and I found it, the perfect fabric. I knew it would be right when I saw it.

Storm at Sea

I was able to get a good picture of my quilt after it was so beautifully quilted by Kerstin. I just love the quilting. The only thing let to do is to add the label. Oh wait I need to make it first.

Just Can't Cut It

I was looking for fabric in my stash the other day for a class I'm taking, when I came across and came upon penguins fabric I just couldn't cut into small squares. So I pulled out a pattern, looked to see what I needed and was able to pull from my stash. I think it took longer to cut it out than to put it together. I made the lap size.

I fell off the wagon

Between yesterday when a friend gave me about 25 yards of fabric and tonight when I got a jelly roll and 2 2/3 yards fabric for a class, I blew my diet. I went through the boxes of fabric and did not take it all. Then when I was putting it away, I pulled out some of my older fabric I was no longer in love with and out it in the box it went. Right now I'd say I'm up about 10 yards from my down 11.5 yards. I did get another top cut out today that used 4.5 yards from my stash. I hope to have it made this weekend.

Another One Bites the Dust

I finished my oldest ufo on Sunday night. After a nice dinner with my sister and brother in law, I showed her the two different border choices and we picked one. I came home, cut them out and they are sewn on. Yet another one off the list and onto the to be quilted list. I am okay with that list being long. Next on the list to be completed is the binding on my Storm at Sea.

This is a picture of Take Five. The pattern is by Linda Ballard.

More Loss

One way to lose more fabric is to give some to your friends. I was cleaning a shelf of fabric and found 3 fat quarters I can live without. I brought two to one friend tonight and the other will be given to another on Monday. So that is now a total of 11.5 yards. Sure doesn't see like that much as I still have a lot of fabric.

Chickens on my quilt

Once again I used fabric from my stash to make this top. It was a package of 13 fat quarters. I decided to use the yellow Brick Road pattern. Twelve fat quarters were used in the top and the 13th was given to a friend today. I am procrastinating against working on the ufo sitting waiting for me to finish. I figured as long as I was working on my fabric diet, I was ok to start a new top. Plus it's done. So far I am down 10.75 yards of fabric from my stash.
