Design Wall-December 16, 2013

Nothing is on my wall, have been working on Celtic Solstice Mystery by Bonnie Hunter. Just about finished with step 1. I do have pictures however of my completed top of the month flimsy-Kayla and also my completed Progressive BOM flimsy. When these were taken this past week it wasn't sunny and no one was around to be a holder. It's nice to have these completed and ready for the quilter!

Stash Report-Week 50,2013

It ended up as a productive week after all!  I was able to finish my Progressive Block of the Month.  I think I am also finished with in the time limit to get a $50.00 gift certificate from Cotton Cupboard. We had 60 days to complete the top once all the blocks were completed.  I think I just made it!  Either way it is finished and ready to be quilted. Used this week was 15 yards. That includes the backing and the binding!
I did buy 2 yards of fabric for fabric boxes. I wanted to use the cotton laminate fabrics. Didn't have any of that in my stash!

Fabric used this past week-15 yards
Used to date-                   189.45 yards
Added to date-                   66.6
Net                                   122.85

Design Wall-December 9, 2013

I am no further along on Bonnie's latest mystery so the picture remains the same!  I had quite a few of step 1 sewn but did not like the way they were turning out, so I spent a lot of time frogging! That was Wednesday and Thursday.  Friday was taken up with Dad things, Saturday I did sew the latest Top of the Month but did not take a picture yet. Will have to show that later. Yesterday house things, a little decorating for Christmas.We bought a small artificial Christmas tree and put on our special Texas  and National Parks ornaments.  I always try and buy those if available on our travels.A few wreathes on the door and that is about it for this year. Not as much to take down right after Christmas! My Christmas Cacti are are really blooming so they are adding color to the inside!  Today is another day that will be a lost cause.  Dad and errands this morning, late lunch with Galen and then take him to the airport.Tomorrow is looking good!

Stash Report-week 49

Finally got to sew a little yesterday and finished the top of the month that is due in a couple of weeks.

Used this week: 7.25
Used to date: 174.45
Added this week 0
Added to date 64.6
Net used: 109.85

I am happy with those numbers!

Have a lot going on this coming week- getting ready for the holidays, continue getting ready for the remodel. Galen will be out of town until the 16th, so I won't have to worry much about meals, but will need to do a little baking.  There should be some time for more quality time with my sewing machine! Still need to finish the Progressive BOM and the time is getting short if I want to get the gift certificate.

Celtic Solstice Mystery-step 1

I am getting a slow start to step one.  Have my oranges and my neutrals cut for step 1 and about half of the blues.  Too much going on to work on it to much over the weekend.  I do hope to start sewing this evening.  I am pretty much pulling from stash as I go along so only the neutrals, oranges and blues are in this picture.

Stash Report-week 48, 2013

Nothing to really report this week. Yes, I did buy some fabric but it was for some one else who could bot get what she wanted.  So that was in and out the next day!!!!! the only sewing I accomplished was sewing on the binding to 2 quilts.  And did manage to get them totally finished but that had been previously counted. Had a great Thanksgiving with friends of 25 years!  It's great that we both ended up in the Austin area.

Used this week:         11.4
Used to date:           167.2
Added this week         3
Added to date           64.6
Net used:                 102.6

Hoping I have different numbers for next week, but it will also be a week of more packing so Galen can move the boxes.  He is out of town the following week and it is so much nicer having him do the heavy lifting!
