Final 2010 Stash Report

Well I use almost a 1/2 yard of scraps so that much went out.  And I bought nothing, so yes, I can definitely say this year my stash was reduced by a smidgen - at least the buying frenzy has gone.  Maybe it's because I didn't go but to one quilt show, no quilt runs, and hardly any stores.  And I resisted buying online also.

I hope to be able to post a Grand Total in 2011.

Blessings in the New Year and may your stash diminish as your quilts pile up for warm comfort and sharing,

My New Table Runner!

Our quilt guild had their Christmas Potluck Meeting - it was great.  The attendance was low, but then we were in the middle of all that rain, so we weren't surprised when only about 1/2 of the normal number (around 80) were there.  We always have that steal game.  So after our show and share (we always have that), we got a ticket and the game began.  And here is what I won: 

I love it!  The pointsettias are fusible applique and stitched with gold metallic thread.  Just right for the season.
The potluck was great also.  So much yummy food!  My favorite in the desserts was the sugar cookies someone brought in that were shaped like spools of thread.  So clever! and delicious.

Dec 19th was another First

December 19th marked William's first piano recital.  The teacher wisely placed him first on the program as he is her newest pupil and didn't give him a chance to get nervous. He played We Three King and another cheerful short tune. He did very well for having studied less than a year.  This event started the Christmas week nicely.
