Design Wall Monday 7/26/11

I'm still working on the ufo for my daughter, so I put up on my design wall my ufo challenge for July which is some blocks from Women's Voices.  These blocks were made by my former neighbor, Dorothy.  I have 18 of hers, but I don't want such a big quilt as these are 15 " when finished.  First row put together.

Stash Report 7/25/11

Thought I had made some headway - well I didn't.  The girls and I used 5 yards to make their quilts and  a quarter yard of scraps to begin to make their placemats.  I used a half yard to make the back of my curvy block.  So that was  5.75 yards for the week -  that's good! 

However, my guild had a super sale and I bought these:

What was I thinking?!  I fell into this purchase like an addict at her last resistance.  Going off the wagon big time - 7 yards!! Oh well, I may throw in some browns and tans and make a fall quilt - but not this year, LOL.

Used this week: 5.75 yards

Used/Donated Yr to date: 49.46 yards
Added this wk: 7.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: -11.0 yards
-----------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Use: 39.46 yards

So didn't break the 40 yards this time. I went backwards about a 1/3rd of a yard - not as bad as I thought.  Maybe next week.
 
Go on over to my left sidebar and click on Judy's Patchwork Times button.  She has a lot of people who have successfully diminished their stash - haha.

My Friday Fun

Another busy, busy day - most of it waiting. I went to Kaiser for my yearly mammo and waited 2hours. Then went to Costco and waited for tires and hot dog. Then onto the freeway where we waited for an accident. Then onto my daughter-in-law's where thankfully I didn't have to wait and came home with DGS2 5 hours later.

So this evening, I was determined to do my 15 minutes in the sewing room and here is what I came up with:

Here is Dear Jane Block F-4, Old Windmill

I've complete my friday assignment to work on Dear Jane on fridays, and since it is still friday here, barely, I've posted it.  Now off to bed. 

Go on over to Quilting in my Pyjamas Favourite Things Friday... to see what others are keen on today.
