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!

Stash Report Week #2

Well this week wasn't the greatest but it wasn't the worst either. LOl I made more snowball blocks and worked on Heather's totebag. And then today I worked and ran out of energy to do anything.

So here goes my report:

Fabric Added this Week 2 yards
Fabric Added Year to Date: 4 1/3 yards

Fabric Used this Week: 4 yards
Fabric Used Year to Date: 9 yards

Final Stash Report 2008 Wk 52

This year has gone by so fast and it just doesn't seem like we should be ready for 2009 already. This was my first year participating in Judy's stashbusting and it has been an eye opening experience. I ended up actually busting some stash this year, even with all that I bought in Paducah! So I consider it a good year. Would have liked to have had a higher number busted but I can live with it. So here goes my final report for 2008.

Fabric added this week - 0 yards
Fabric added year to date - 116 and 5/8 yards

Fabric used this week - 0 yards
Fabric used year to date - 152 and 3/4 yards

Net Used to Date - 36 and 1/8 yards

Stash Report #50

Wow it is hard to believe that 2 more reports and we will be starting over....gracious where has this year gone? I finished up the gifts for my MIL and got those shipped off earlier this week. And Sat I finished up a Secret Santa gift to be mailed off tomorrow. I will post the picture of MIL's gift but not he SS gift as she might be inclined to stop in here and have a look at my blog. Why I'm not sure as I've not been good lately about keeping it up. But I will do better!

Stash Report # 46

Oh my goodness...what a bad blogger I am...I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post! One would hope that I have been sewing and just not had time to get in here. Truth of the matter had some things going on with my Mom that have been consuming my thoughts and really haven't been sewing much. Over the past couple weeks I did get a pair of pillowcases and a pair of potholders made for part of my Mother-in-Laws Christmas present. The blocks used in the potholders were from an online swap I did a number of years ago.

Stash Report #41

Well unfortunately there isn't much to report this week. I did put in a few stitches on the halloween wallhanging but that is all. Today Jim and I ripped out the carpet in the living and dining rooms and got that all tied up for the garbage man. Now to move on and start patching the holes/cracks and get the paint picked out for the walls. We won't really be doing a whole lot more to these rooms until after the first of the year. So here's a before and an after of the carpet episode today.

Stash Report # 38

This week all I managed to do was make the Halloween Quilt.....it was a love and hate relationship! There was plenty of time spent ripping this sucker out and re-stitching...at times the top was folded up and thrown in the pile and walked away from, only to be gotten back out the next day and another attempt to finish it was made. Well on Saturday I finnaly finished the top! Thank heavens. So my stash totals remain the same from last week. Here's hoping this week is better!

What a week this has been for me and stashbusting and getting some tops finished. I finished 3 UFO tops, made backings for 2 table runners, started a halloween wallhanging and a halloween quilt.

Stash Report # 36

This was a good week for me. I finished up my socks for the Lost Sock Swap and mailed them off to Mar and she now has them. Yahoo! Now I could allow myself to work on the magazine/book challenge from an online group. I got the top all pieced and it is waiting on me to get the backing made so it can go to Shirley to be quilted. I did purchase 4 yards of halloween fabric this week.

Week #35 Stash Report

I did not add any stash this week....nor did I use any stash this week. Thursday I mailed off 90% of my socks for the sock swap and have been off and on working on the remaining 8 large ones that I need to mail off on Tuesday. So my totals are staying the same. Now to figure out what to work on first, I have a number of projects waiting and calling my name to be worked on. I do know that I need to make block #2 for Judy's BOM and block #3 is coming out tomorrow, also have a couple other things that need backing and quilted. And the magazine challenge is over there screaming at me to get started making blocks! Who knew fabric could yell so loud! LOL

Stash Report #34

This past week my main focus has been socks. So there has been no fabric coming in and no fabric going out! I am getting closer to being done with them. Yahoo! Which means my totals are the same as last week. Basically that is good as I passed up a coupon from Kimberly at the Fat Quarter Shop...boy was that hard! And now I'm kicking myself! ROFLOL

Stash Report # 32

This was what I am considering a good week for me! I added no fabric!! Yahoo! Did bust some stash this week with the cutting out of the magazine challenge, which means my stash total is getting closer to being in the positive. I can see me busting more stash with the upcoming holidays and projects that are swimming in my head to be made.

Stash Report #31

This past week was a productive week for me. I was able to finish up 2 quilts, while also sewing on socks and working on a QOV top. I did add a little fabric as I needed more blues for my QOV=didn't read the directions the whole way through when cutting earlier steps and ran out! OOPS! LOL July was a good month on completing UFO's thanks to Peg and her Finish 5 in July! Lets hope I can keep the ball rolling on this.

This week was a fairly good week for me. I busted some stash and didn't add any except for the Designer Mystery BOM block 2. I fisnished the 30's tablerunner, made binding for 2 quilts, picked, cut and started sewing on a QOV Mystery that I am doing with an online group and worked on some socks!

Stash Report 28

Well this wasn't a great week for me on the sewing/quilting front. I did get 17 pairs of heels/toes prepped and pinned onto the sock bodies and go no further than that. Also ironed my fabric for a magazine challenge with an online group. And that is it. No fabric found it's way into my home, that I recall.

Stash Report #27

Well I have been busily working on my socks and that is all at this point in time. I have been bad and added to my stash this weekend. Made the mistake of looking at the Christmas fabrics at Joanns and they had some gingerbread men and some nice WOW and I bought it. So between that and Vicky's megging on the Designer's Mystery BOM my stash totals are going backwards. But once my socks are finished I will be deducting those totals as busted!
