Stash Report 2/12/12

This week saw sewing most days, but not days I necessarily used stash fabric.  I bought 6 yards for a mystery BOM I am going to do (starts Feb 15th at Esther's blog - her link is on my sidebar under WIP Wednesdays), gave 2 yards to St. Anne's, made three blocks from BOMs, and .25 yards for binding of the charity quilt.  Here are my numbers:
Used/Donated this week: 2.50 yards
Used/Donated YTD: 18.6 yards
Added/Bought this week: 6.0 yards
Added/Bought YTD: 8.00 yards
--------------------------------
Net YTD: 10.6 yards

So I'm behind - my goal for 6 week was 12 yards.
Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times (on my sidebar) and see how others are doing.

Favorite Things Friday

or "Gift for Mella" .  Our St. Anne's Sewdality met yesterday, and we have 17 quilts to give out this month.  We are so thrilled to be able to hand these on.  Here's the one I made for a parishioner who lost her husband recently and a 10 year old great Grand son.  She's in her 80s.  The center is made of some hand pieced blocks donated to us from the 60s.

And here's the back of it.  If you click on the photo you'll get a closer view of the free motion quilting I practiced on this one.  I first put the purple all around it, but it just overwhelmed the center and then I added the floral print.  I hope she likes it.

I'm linking up to Shay's Favorite Things Friday and to Leah's Free Motion Quilting Project. See my sidebar.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Applique Thursday and More 2/9/12

She's starting to look like Medusa to me - LOL!,  but I still think the "She said what?!" fits.  What do you think? 

Been real busy with charity quilts so haven't had too much time to work on this one.  It's great to have the Applique Thursday to report and keep me moving on this.  What have you been up to?  Applique or not, would love to see your projects. Click on the blue link below.
