Fabric Tuesday or Wow! - I finished them.

Well, all the assembly work is done and now to some more stitching, but I'll do that as I have quiet time watching NCIS or Antiques Roadshow.  Here is Anna's Garden #4

 And here's my Forget Me Not block #4  Phew I'm glad that's put together.  Sue sent me a link for some star sequins so here's hoping they will work for the flower centers.  I'll check them out.

I need to order some smoke invisible thread for some of the darker areas.  What have you been doing?  I'm linking to Esther's Wow, Connie's Free Motion by the River, and Fabric Tuesday by Quilt Story.  Go check out all that eye candy!

Design Wall Monday 10/15/12

Up on my wall is another Vet lap quilt.  This will be my fifth and last one for this year.  I've also put together another baby rag quilt for St. Anne's.  Since we don't use batting between the two layers of flannel, it isn't very heavy.  All I have to do is sew an 'X' on the pairs, assemble the rows and send onto the next member to clip it. I may post a photo tomorrow if I get it to the next stage. 

Has any one seen star shaped sequins?  I'd like to use them on my forget me not flowers if there is such a thing.

What's on your design wall?  I'm heading over to Judy's Patchwork Times and Lyn's BOMs Away to see what people are posting.  I always like to see what other quilters are up to. Such eye candy!  And speaking of eye candy, you still have time to link yours at my Applique Thursday post (see 10/11 post) to participate in the book giveaway.

Stash Report 10/14/12

Hello! Back to a sort of normal week(I did enjoy the DGKs, just don't like it being so busy days on end), yeah! And although my Applique Thursday post was almost late, I do have a giveaway this week also.  You can still link or comment until midnight Wednesday by going here.

 I hope to get more quilting done in between the housecleaning for company here at the end of the month. So far pulled 2 1/4 yards for a St Anne's rag quilt.  Another 2 yards for another VA quilt. 

Here are my numbers:
Used/Donated last week: 4.25 yards
Used/Donated YTD:   152.69  yards
Added/Bought last week:  0.0 yards
Added/Bought YTD:    36.04 yards
------------------------------
Net Decrease YTD:   116.65 yards.  It's nice to be seeing some empty spots in my stash again! 

How are you doing destashing?  Really pays to go over your fabric and give some away.  Bet there's a local charity near you that could use a few yards.  Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times and see how others are doing.

And just because we had a cold spell for a few days and roses like to second bloom in the fall, here's the first of my roses coming back for a farewell bouquet:
