Design Wall Monday 3/4/13

I can't show you my tote or quilt yet that are my design wall, so in their place here are two more of my DH's cactus in  bloom.                                               

The one on the right forms the most colorful fruits on the top of the plant - they're a bright red and elongated.  I'll see if I can find an old picture of them.

I'm linking over at Judy's Patchwork Times and Lyn's BOMs Away.  Go on over and see the great eye candy.

Stash Report 3/3/13

My husband's cactus garden is starting to bloom again.

Don't know how much I'll get done this week as I have two 12 hour babysitting days coming up.  Last week I only used 1/2 yard for the lining of my tote, but nothing came in, so net total is slightly higher.
Here are my numbers:

This week:  in 0.0 yds.; out 0.5 yds.

Stash YTD: in 3.0 yds., out 14.1 yds.
Donated this week: .34 yds; YTD: 8.09 yds

Net for 2013: out 11.1 yds.

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times.  Go see how much better others did with their stash busting.  And the giveaway from last Thursday is still ongoing.  See what book you could win by going back to that post.

Golden Quilters Awards

I couldn't wait. I went on over to Sew Cal Gal's blog and discovered who the winners are for this year.  And Padsworth has done a very fine video to announce them.  Hop on over to see it!

Congratulations to all the winners!
