Oh my, stash report

I was doing so good until this week. 
I couldn't help it, I was at a shop that had Blueberry Crumb Cake by Moda

 and I have this thing for blue so I just could resist. Have no quilt planned, just goes in the stash for when I do find that right project.
I had not bought any fabric in a couple of months and then it's like I went off to the deep end. I have bought 35.5 yards.    Woo - wee
I now have a minus usage.


Used this Week: .5 yards
Used year to Date: 4.5 yards

Added this Week: 35.5 yards
Added Year to Date: 36 yards
Net Used for 2012: -31.5 yards


Not good, I need to get really busy and start using it up. 

Check out Patchwork Times to see how others are doing.

Till next time

    Beautiful fabric!! I haven't bought any quilt fabric since September. I am afraid when I do, it will be like you...a WHOLE bunch at one time. Like the flood gates opened!! Fortunately, no funds for such fun right now...so I will keep trying to use the millions of yards I already have!

    I need to start watching my fabric in/fabric out count myself. As long as I don't have to know how much a start with, I should be okay. If I ever have to count what I have now, I would probably go into heart failure!

      I didn't start with what I already had counted either. I know I would have some sort heart failure if I did. My goal is to see by the end of the year a good dent made.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
