July 2013 Get It Done

Not much happened this month along the lines of sewing.  Did pull out a UFO and put it back, maybe July I will get going on them again!  My list will pretty much stay the same for now.

Stash Report-week 26, 2013

Took this picture early June.  The sunset even more colorful but we were driving and couldn't pull over right away.
My June has been taken up with computer problems, dental appointments, house fixes  and making a concerted effort in trying to get some much needed cleaning and organizing accomplished!  I have done very little sewing, at least nothing where I can take credit in using stash.
One of our local LQS is doing a top of the month club.  Each month you take the top back in on a certain day, you get the pattern and fabric for the next month at a reduced cost.  The 11th month is free if you keep it up.  They are simple patterns and easy to make.  It's been fun so far. So my purchases and fabric used are from that.  Cotton Cupboard

I am not including the fabric I have donated so far. Yards and yards with more to go!!!!!

Used this Month                  3.5        yards
Used to date:                    89.205     yards
Added this Month:               5.75      yards
Added Year to Date:        22.65        yards
Net used year to Date:     66.555

I know it is definitely better than previous years where I more was coming in than going out! But I do need to get back to sewing more. If my knee cooperates more in the next two weeks (going up and down the steps) I should have things in control!  back to Patchworktimes

Design Wall Monday-5/27/2013

First I hope everyone is enjoying the long Memorial Day weekend.  Nothing on the design wall at the moment.  But here are my choices for the Road To Llano!

I am using 2 different med/darks and I do have black batik, it's just not shown here. Better yet, I don't have to buy any thing for the top!  Now I can put the rest of the batiks back to bed!
A quick trip to the store this morning- Dad will be here for dinner, but maybe I will get some play time in between!

Stash Report Week 21-2013

Not much sewing again this week.  I stopped by my LQS and saw something really cute for a friend.  It was a pillow case which they had kitted.  Since it was easier at that point in time to just get the kit, I did.  Made the pillow case that afternoon as I was mailing a box to her the next day.  Forgot to take a picture however!  So fabric came in and went right back out!!  Have been going through my bins of batiks to see what I can come up with for the Road to Llano quilt a long. May have to add a fabric or two to what I want to use! I've been really good so far about not buying unless I really need it so if I have too, that's okay too!

Used this Week:                1.125 yards
Used to date:                     85.705   yards
Added this Week:               1.125          yards
Added Year to Date:         16.9    yards
Net used year to Date:      68.805

Design Wall-May 20, 2013

My design wall has not changed since I put another UFO on it! I talked about it in this blog Asian Swap blocks

With everything the past 2 weeks it is still in the same place-nothing done! No decisions made!  I did however finish the binding on the kids bright swap block flimsy UFO

Tuesday I'll make a trip to UPS-get the quilts off, a few birthday presents along with a few other packages of things I have been promising people!
what eye candy do we see on other walls?

Stash Report-week 20

This was not a productive week as nothing was used.  Nothing came in tho either so that was good!  The week started off having the prep work done for 2 crowns on Monday.  I think these are the last 2 molars without crowns and had very old and very big fillings!  The rest of the week has been filled with sinus problems.  Just didn't feel like sewing. So my numbers are the same.

Used this Week:                0 yards
Used to date:                     84.58   yards
Added this Week:               0           yards
Added Year to Date:         15.775    yards
Net used year to Date:      68.805

On the up side- we did manage to free up a lot of space.  I have had a HQ16 set up for the past 8 years and have not used it for the past 4!  Why, I would rather piece than quilt the tops.  So I have been having them quilted by some one else. On Thursday we delivered the machine plus table to a group in San Antonio-Angel Cover Ministry.  They needed it and were more than happy to get it. 

They make and deliver quilts for Ronald McDonald House, various homes, the military, you name it.  Sylvia can not say no to anyone.  They had been using a home made set up with a regular machine.  This will give them the capability of doing more and larger quilts when needed.  Now to get the last quilt bound so I can get the box mailed to Judy's friend in Waco!
