Stash

In the two weeks since I’ve blogged I’ve made these two pillowcases.  That’s the sum total of my finishes.  I have the pink and gray cabins mostly sewn together.  I finished step 4 for Scrap-in-a-Box.  I made a block for a friend who needs some love (I would count that as out, but it hardly took any fabric.).  I’ve also been traveling a little, and trying to keep up with the cat fur in the house and the weeds in the garden.

This week:  + 0 yards,  – 2 yards
This year:  + 42.5 yards,  – 62.25 yards
Net fabric destashed  in 2015:  23.75 yards

Goals

April Goals

1.  Audit Jinny Beyer BOM Craftsy Class.  Yes!  All caught up.  Haven’t made any more of them.

2.   Complete Step Four on Charlotte’s Scrap in a Box Mystery Quilt.  Yes!  Here’s what the blocks look like.

3.  Complete mug rug for Sandi’s swap at Quilt Cabana.  Yes!  Here’s what I made.

4.  Assemble and quilt the scrappy log cabin quilt.  Yes!  It turned out **fairly** well.  Right here.

Lots of “Yes’s”, huh?  Well, it wasn’t a terribly ambitious list, but at least I did it.

And here’s the mug rug I received from my #twilter friend Glenna. Isn’t it wonderful?  Now I’m all set for summer camping!  Next time I think we need to agree to make plainer mug rugs we will actually use for coffee- all of us are hanging these on the wall!  (Don’t know about the Twilters?  Here’s a great post from Philipa at Ozzypip Quilts.)

I also worked some on my Etsy Shop, and I sent this quilt to Quilts of Compassion for their Illinois relief drive.  Isn’t this a nice thank you?  Besides a personal note.  Thanks for letting me know about this, Nonnie.

And I re-hung things in my studio after that very loud thunderstorm.  Even colorized the thread some.  The printers’ drawer is not a perfect thread holder, a little shallow and many spaces are too narrow, but it was my first, and I knew the printers who owned it, so I won’t be parting with it.  Hopefully it’s up more securely now.

May Goals

1.  Audit Jinny Beyer BOM Craftsy Class.

2.   Complete the top for  Charlotte’s Scrap in a Box Mystery Quilt.

3.  Assemble and quilt the pink and gray scrappy log cabin quilt.

4.  Design and piece a beach-themed throw-size quilt.

Another month, another chance to sew!  Hope all of you enjoy May.
