Design Wall Monday 11/7/11

Have two charity quilt tops on my design wall.  They are for St. Ann's which meets this coming thursday.  I make the tops and a couple of ladies at the meeting will sandwich and tie.  Then they'll pass it on to someone else to bind or give it back to me to do the binding.  For these two (which measure around 36-38 inches square), I'll be doing the binding as well as quilting the blue one. We delivered 19 quilts to a low income Mommy & Me clinic last month for new mothers and hope to have another dozen or so to give them in December.

IQF 2011: Otherwise known as Great Eye Candy

Back from Houston - had a great time. The show was fabulous as always. I was good. I bought no fabric, only a couple of patterns, a festival pin for my chatelaine, and two presents. There was a LOT to buy. Went to three Meet the Teachers presentations and saw a lot of quilts! If you'd like to see a few go on over to the upper left corner of the home page of the blog. Click twice on the quilt and the slideshow will open for you. On the new window in the upper left click on full screen and you'll have a better view. 
And here's another from the show.  That is my cousin Carmen on the left and mom on the right.  I loved this quilt!

Enjoy!

Stash Report 11/6/11

Back from Houston - had a great time! Next on the agenda is to get ready for a St. Ann's Sewdality meeting on thursday and Alan's 1st Birthday party saturday. His actual birthday is the 11th. I love the invitation my daughter came up with.  Alan loves this little owl he was given, so Em duplicated it.  When the party is over, I'll place this on my refrigerator.

Since I was galivanting on vacation, no progress made on destashing.  I did buy a remnant at JoAnn's but that's not for me so I'm not counting it.  Here are my unchanged numbers:
Used/Donated this week: .0 yards
Used/Donated Yr to date: 92.13yards
Added this wk: 0.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: -12 yards
-----------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Used: 80.13 yards
