Design Wall Monday May 10th

Well my Christmas Log Cabin wallhanging has now made it's way to the design wall and I'm in the process of making the last 2 blocks I need.  I changed the layout and like this one much better!

Stash Report and Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's and Mom's to be!  May your day be joyful and full of love.

I am back to sewing and it feels so good!  I finally finished off something that has been on my design wall for who knows how long, oh I could go back through the blog and see but nah don't think so.  I finished putting together the 30's Sampler blocks into a top yesterday!  Yahoo!  Now to think about quilting it. 

Here's a picture...

Now for my stash report:

Stash Report April 25th

Well the house has been torn up since Easter Sunday when we started all the work in the living and dining rooms.  Walls are painted, trim around lanai doors painted, so hoping today to get the verticles hung back up.  So needless to say I haven't done any sewing, wish I had and I plan to do some this week.  I have had 3 qulits looking/make that screaming at me to put the binding on them!  So they are on the plan for this week along with making some blocks to mail off.  Otherwise I have been sort of knitting on a towel and de-cluttering my desk.  I also have 3 UFO's yelling to be sewn into tops and/or finish blocks so they can be sewn into tops.  Hope to do some work on those this week as well.  Sounds ambitious, lets hope I can get some of it accomplished.

Finally relaxing!

Boyd Hill Nature Preserve

While we were on our little vacation, we went to the Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in Clearwater, FL.  They have a guided tram tour you can take, which we did and had an awestome time even we were fighting raindrops and threatening storms moving in.  Our guide was great, he was very well knowledged in all the animals, etc at the Preserve.  Here is the link to pictures we took.  Enjoy!

Happy Easter and Stash Report

May your day be a glorious one!

On the stashbusting front...nothing was sewn and nothing came in.  Sure hope this week is better.  I have 3 projects I would like to make progress on and 3 quilts that need binding.  One can wish it all happens.

Stash Report

We have been in Clearwater the past few days on a mini vacation.  This has been one of the most relaxing times we've had in a long while, so much so that we extended our stay another night!  We visited Rainbow's End in Dunedin and I slipped off the wagon and bought some yummy fabrics.  And then we stopped at Country Bears and Quilts in Clearwater and once again I slipped off and bought more fabric and a pattern!  Since I left my camera cord at home you will have to wait for pictures to be posted after we get home.  Also did some sightseeing and will share those pictures later on as well.  I have done some knitting while Jim has had to field a few work issues. 

So here's my report for this week:

Used year to Date: 22 yards

Added this Week: 0 yards
Added Year to Date: 10 1/2 yards

Net Used for 2010: 11 1/2 yards
