Design Wall Monday 1/23/12

Not much quilting getting done. Besides still feeling poorly, the sewing room is too cold for me. Today, I went in there and it was 62. Brrr. I do have a portable heater but it blows air and so the wind chill keeps it not to my liking. In the meantime, I've been sitting in the living room and keeping warm and embroidering. Almost done - have a few leaves and a corner to do.  This is the first block of Jenny of Elefantz BOM for 2012. See my sidebar.

What's on your design wall? Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times and BOM's Away (on sidebar) and see how others are staying out of mischief.

Stash Report 1/22/12

Not much sewing or quilting done as I was poorly a few days - still a tiny bit under the weather. Used a fat quarter's worth of pieces to make two Just Take 2 blocks. Bought 2 yards of fabric from Connecting Thread for my Promises and Borders BOM. Used a yard for the back of a charity quilt. So here are my numbers:
Used/Donated this week: 1.25 yards
Used/Donated YTD: 7.21 yards
Added/Bought this week: 2.00 yards
Added/Bought YTD: 2.00 yards
--------------------------------
Net YTD 5.21 yards

So I'm behind already by a little more than a 3/4s of a yard. Could be worse. How are you doing? Go on over and see how others are doing at Judy's Patchwork Times. Her button is on my sidebar. Have a quilty week!

Applique Thursday and More Late 1/19/12

Spent thursday coughing and sneezing and not much quilting, I'm afraid.  So here's a book I longingly go through now and then, dreaming of when I'm going to make some of these lovelies:

What are you working on? - applique or other wise.  Sure could use some eye candy to get me through the day.
