Stash Report 6/10/12

Not much sewing going on here.  I'm happy to report feeling better everyday.  Today is the first day I've felt more myself since the surgery.  It will be a week Wednesday.  I did have a finish of sorts.  Here's my 4th Jubilee Album block.  When I can't do much, I appliqued.  That had me use a few scraps.  Today I did cut up a yard's worth of 5 inches squares to make a charm pack I will use in the next charity quilt.  Here are my numbers:

Used/Donated last week: 1.01yards

Used/Donated YTD: 67.23 yards
Added/Bought last week: 0.0 yards
Added/Bought YTD: 27.5 yards
------------------------------
Net Decrease YTD: 39.73 yards   Have to use 10 yards in these last weeks of June to be on target for my goal.  Will I make it?

Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times and see how others are doing.

Favorite Flowers Friday

Hi, there.  I'm recovering from gall bladder surgery Wednesday, so I haven't been out in my garden much in the last three days - actually I'm up walking and eating tiny bit of this and that that has no fat and mostly sleeping.  So all I have to share is
1) a get well plant my very kind neighbor gave me:

Isn't this a lovely pink anthurium?  I love it.  Now the trick is how to keep it alive in this arid area.  Please leave a comment if you know how to grow these.
2) from my hall windows I can still see these lovelies:

Don't these tunas look lite from within.  They sparkle when they're back lighted.

I'm so glad they are around to brighten up my view.

What are your favorite thing this friday.  You know my flowers are.  I'm linking up to Flaunt Your Flowers and Favorite Things Friday - visit them for more fun and fabulous.

Applique Thursday 6/7/12

A bit more progress.  Because I like that blue fabric so much, I'm not going to add the cross hatching on the basket. Three more flowers to go!

Would love to admire your eye candy, applique or not.  Last week's batik charm winner was Rita.  Rita, I mailed your charm Wednesday.

Another batik charm waits for someone who comments or links. You get two chances if you comment and link.  Look forward to hearing from you and visiting your blogs.
