Design Wall Monday 3/11/13

This has to be quick - I'm having phone line problems and it only lets me on for a couple of minutes when I catch it behaving.  Telephone lineman is coming tomorrow in the afternoon.  I still can't show you what's on my design wall as guild members read the post, so here's a photo of a quilt I fell in love with at a quilt show I attended in February and the accompanying info.

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times and Lyn's BOMs Away site. Go check them out.

Stash Report 3/10/13

Very busy babysitting - two twelve hour days and then this weekend all four of them for three days -makes for very little quilting but lots of fun.  And for three days I was able to do a lot toward piecing my BOM quilt.  I used 1/4 yard to make handles for my tote and .61 yards toward the white outer border for all the 12 blocks plus 1 yard for inner sashing, 2/3 yards for first border and 2 yards for outer border - I have to cut the last border on the length.  Here are my numbers:

This week:  in 0.0 yds.; out   4.53 yds.

Stash YTD: in 3.0 yds., out 18.63 yds.
Donated this week: 0.0 yds; YTD: 8.09 yds

Net for 2013: out 15.63 yds.

Here are my two two-year-olds playing together in January.  Lily is 7 months older than Alan.  I'm linking over to Judy's Patchwork Times and Lyn's BOMs Away.  Check out all those links.

Applique Thursday Winner



Here's our cool Alan ready to announce the winner for this week's giveaway:  Happy Cottage Quilter !  I've sent her a message and look forward to sending her the book.

Not much piecing happening but I did get my 15 a day done.

Taking a break from giving away as I have too much going on otherwise to be on the computer much.  Tomorrow is another day.  I did make a tiny bit of progress on my morning glory block.  I  fused the pieces I had made to the correct background. Big leaves next.

Leave me a comment and I'll come over and see your eye candy when I have a minute on the NET.  Look forward to hearing from you!
