Stash Report



We woke up this morning to these beautiful blooming sages. It happens fast here in the desert, especially if we get a little rain. More rain is predicted for this week.⛈


This week I am busy at quilting Sandi's Millie's Dresses quilt. This one is all custome and the patterns are so fun. Each dress has a different quilting pattern and gives a lot of texture to t he quilt. I will be hard at work on this one all week. Hope to have finished and off to Sandi by the end of the week.

No finishes this week and no adds to the Stash, but Rust Barn Quilt and Craft show starts on Thursday so there will most likely be some adding this week!

Used this week: 0 yards.
Used YTD: 87 yards.
Purchased this week: 0 yards.
Purchased YTD: 46.5 yards.
Net Fabric Used YTD: 50.5 yards.

Have a great week!

Happy Sewing!

This week I have two projects in the works. Above is the Aloha Mystery, first clue was from last week and I was able to get it done yesterday during our sew-in. This weeks clue is all cut out and ready to sew. I am using fabrics from my stash and will donate this one to charity. I am going to try to keep up with the clues each week. Also under the sewing machine is Sand Castles, and I am hoping to have that all together this week. 

Happy Sewing!

The last of the Dear Hannah Applique Blocks are prepped. These will be taken on an upcoming trip to Sacramento to visit family. Hope to get them done and then start on the last 5 pieced blocks.
This will be a short week for me, not much sewing getting done, we have out of town guests on Wednesday, and then I leave for Sacramento on Friday for a week.

Have a great week!
