WIP Wednesday

This is as far as I got with the first kit for the new charity quilt:

The strips for the fifth row of fabric were missing from the kit, so I've set this aside until I can get replacements from the kit assembler.

In the meantime, I started on the second kit.
I just need the top finished and then I'll hold til January when our guild is having a Free Motion Quilting workshop and  the attendees will practice on the sandwiched tops.

What are you working on?  I'm linking over at Esther's WOW.  Go on over and see all the goodies!

Design Wall Monday 10/1/12

Up on my design wall is the start of another charity quilt.  This one is a flannel neonatal quilt for our local NIC-U.  Nine blocks to finish at 30"x 30".  That's the size they want.

What's up on your design wall?  I'm linking over to Judy's Patchwork Times, Lyn's BOMs Away, and  Quilt are for Giving blog.

Also my book giveaway is still going on.  Go to my last Applique Thursday post and comment or link to win!

Stash Report 9/30/12

Alan was over for the weekend, so no sewing got done. His brother, Will, came too.  Haven't heard from Cassandra - maybe she's away from the computer.  I'll give her a little bit more time before I draw again for the Miniature to Masterpiece book.  In the meantime, this week's book giveaway is on  - ends Wednesday evening. The book is called Woven  Quilted. Go here to read about it and enter.   My destashing this week worked out to a bit more than last week, LOL.  I made another VA quilt. That used up 2 yards.  I worked on several blocks and used up about a FQ.  Then I culled fabric with Alan's help and found 3 1/2 yards more for the Thrifty Corner. Here are my numbers:

Used/Donated last week:    5.5 yards
Used/Donated YTD:     144.69 yards
Added/Bought last week:    0.0 yards
Added/Bought YTD:       35.54 yards
------------------------------
Net Decrease YTD:     109.15 yards.

So how's your destashing going?   I'm linking over to Judy's Patchwork Times.  Be sure to visit to see what others have done.
