Quiltathon Day 2, A Finish!! and Stashbuster Reports!!

I am doing a major happy dance here in Florida!!! One we got some much needed rain today! And two I have a finish!!!! This weekend was Quiltathon Weekend hosted by Judy. Thanks Judy for the kick in the butt I needed to sew something. This tablerunner I had made in a class probably a year ago at the LQS...goodness to think I let it lay that long before finishing it. I was so close to having it done. Well Saturday I got the quilting and trimming done. And today I made and attached the binding. I cheated and sewed the binding down using a decorative stitch on my sewing machine. I know I know! You should have sewn that by hand and one of these days I will really do it that way.

On the Stashbusting front I see it's been a few weeks since I've updated my totals.

Fabric added this week 0 yards
Total fabric added this year 11 7/8 yards

Fabric used this week 4 3/4 yards
Total fabric used this year 28 7/8 yards

Total fabric busted this year 17 yards

I am afraid after I go to Paducah my numbers are going to be out of whack!

2009 Challenge

While reading Amy's blog tonight I read about this challenge to finish one project a month for 2009. So I clicked on the cute little box/link and read all the details over at May's blog and I'm signing up. I have been going through the various places I have all my UFO's and PIG's stashed and making a list and my oh my I have way too many!!! So I have jumped off yet another cliff and will be trying my best to get as many finishes this year that I possibly can. And all the while busting stash! So stay tuned to see what I have that needs finished and what I actually get finished! And I can always use a cheering section. So feel free to cheer me on!
