Crumb Along #5

Been gone most of last two days, so no crumbs done so far except for two.  The first one, the "W" took me almost an hour - too long for a crumb block.  So I'm looking into a way to make them easier.  I've gotten some useful suggestions and I will try them, but here is where I've come up with a way that will incorporate applique (machine that is) with the crumb piecies - and that's my near completed "a" block.  I'll see how that goes.

How are your crumbs coming along.  I hope to make some with triangles after dinner to start to play catch up.  You can see how other's are doing by clicking on the crumb along button on the top of my left sidebar.

Enjoy!

Design Wall 10/3/11

Up on my design wall is the first letter crumb block I've made.  Phew!  It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.  Either I'll have to come up with a way to make them that's easier or I'm gonna have to choose a lot less words to put on the border.  Anyone know of a good tutorial for making these?
Off to Duarte so can't google now.

Hop on over to Judy's Patchwork Times and see what other have on their design wall.  You'll see the button on my left sidebar.

Stash Report 10/2/11

Half yard of scraps for crumb along.  A yard and a half for my 2 color quilt blocks.  2 yards culled from my stash for donating to guild thrifty corner.  Nothing in.  I'm kinda surprised I have that much given the past week dearth of quilting, so here are the numbers:
Used/Donated this week: 4 yards
Used/Donated Yr to date: 85.25 yards

Added this wk: 0.0 yards

Total Yr to date Added: -12 yards

-----------------------------------------

Total Yr to date Used: 73.25 yards

Crawling toward 100 yards.

Now what have you done to lessen your stash?  Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times and see how others have fared.  Judy has done great!

Before the New Year

As this is the next to the last day of 2025, I thought I'd report on the month of December now. Not to do with quilting, but still a mil...
