Sunday Stash Report

Stash Report:
Added this week: 6.5 yards
Added YTD: -111.25
Used this week: 3.25 yards (Halloween 6 fat quarter bag for Sammie)
Used YTD: 90.5
Stash Reduction/Enhancement: -19.5 yards

This week the gain in my stash is my fault or rather the fault of my fickle muse. We just couldn't decide to use the coffee fabric for the dresden plate quilt. My muse wants that fabric to stay here. So off to the LQS I went with my bag of fabrics to see if there was something that could be done with all those black, white, & red fabrics I won.
Well, to make a long time short - I bought 5 yards of fabric and 6 fat quarters (Halloween). 3 yards were of yellow for the background of the black & white dresden fan secret sister quilt and 2 yards of red just in case my muse let me do it my way.
The fat quarters were for a bag for my granddaughter and are already sewn together. So I do have a few yards used this week.

When I start finishing all these projects...WoW, my numbers will be a changin'!

1) Charity quilt -Kitty Kitty

2) Scrappy New York Beauty in Black

3) Black & White & Yellow & Red Dresden Fans/Plates

4) Not to mention the 2 BOMs

5) Not to mention the 2 Mystery Quilts

6) Not to mention Tanya's Graduation Quilt

7) Not to mention Autumn Leaves.

Dang, Gators, I had better get busy or I won't be finished in 2010.

Stay cool and hydrated.

Fickle, Fickle, Fickle Muse

I do believe that my muse is fickle. I thought we were going to do the dresden plate in coffee fabrics but instead out came the black&whites and Black&white&reds. But at least she stuck to the dresden plate/fan idea. I chose red for the background but my muse agreed with my daughter and a friend that yellow was the way to go.

Another reason I think my muse is fickle is that these random blade are not coming out random but picky. I don't like scrappy but my muse seems to. I am trying to let it be scrappy but think my muse is losing the battle.

EQ7 loaded up so nicely even with my computer going out. I think I will go get a really inexpensive one to just do internet work with and same my laptop for quilting related things.

Spent this week running around like a goose but finally got to sew and cut Thursday, Friday,and today. Tomorrow DH has to be out of town for a travel league. So no sewing except for hand since I think we are going in the car rather than the camper.

Wednesday, DH and I went get our DGD from college. She will be spending the next 3 weeks with us...a long story... While traveling to BR, we sampled boudin balls from PB and KS. The ones from KS are to die for as they use to say...so were the cracklins. In KS, I saw a medium size gator all tussed up in the back of this lady's pickup. She was dressed to the 9's with that pickup and gator. The sites you see in South Louisiana!

Well, lator gators. Stay out of the heat if you can...I know I will be doing just that.

Design Wall Monday

My design wall is still holding the Black scrappy New York Beauty. Last week did not lend itself to quilting except for the boys. This weekend we spent with burial detail of Cleo.

This week I have 4 quilts to bind and the 2 boys quilts to quilt since I can only find the walking foot for the big BabyLock so MaMa does the quilting.

But my Muse is back!!! I do have a design mind again. I finally decided what quilt I was doing for my secret sister - dresden fan in coffee fabrics and quilt as you go. I was trying to decided to do dresden fans or pineapple but fate picked the pattern. I can do both now...one for secret sister and one for niece. I will be working on the cutting this week inbetween binding and quilting. LOL

Well Lator Gators. Have a blessed week.
