Design Wall Monday 12/26/11

My star became this:



from this:

It's still on my design wall as I am still whip stitching it together.  To tell you the truth, it turns out I am spatial thinking challenged.  I tried for a whole day to assemble it and could not do it.  My daughter came over and figured it out.  Thank you so much Em.  She could figure out how to do it from the given directions and photos.  Well, I'll save it for next Christmas.  Some have asked for the pattern - you can find it at http://www.phillipsfiberart.com/ and she has a special right now - three stencils and the booklet for $4.  This was the middle size stencil. 

Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times and see the last design wall monday for the year.  Enjoy!

Merry Christmas and Stash Report 12/25/11

Merry Christmas one and all. God's blessings in the coming New Year.  Last week I attended the last guild board meeting for the year and took fat quarters to give away (another way of continuing to destash - hehe).  Gave away 17 fat quarters for a total of 4.25 yards.  I also made 3 blocks during the week for another fat quarter, so I have a grand total of 4.5 yards for this last week of reporting!  Here are my numbers:
Used/Gifted/Donated 4.5 yards
Used/Donated Yr to date: 112.46 yards
Added this wk: 0.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: - 12 yards
-----------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Used: 100.46 yards

Woohoo!  I made my goal!  I am so pleased.  There is still a lot left, but if I can do it again in 2012 - I may be able to buy fabric in 2013.  Pathetic - but one must keep positive.

How did you do?  Any stash busting is good! Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times on my sidebar and see how others did.
Happy Holidays!

Design Wall 12/19/11

Coverlet is now off the wall, and I'll post it soon.  Quite happy with it.  On my wall right now, and not for long as I have to gift it tomorrow evening, is this:

A fat quarter to whomever can guess how many sides it's going to have.  I made one 50 years ago.

Blessings as we prepare for Christmas.
