Design Wall Monday

Very busy weekend! Friday I took my Mom to a local quilt show for part of her 87th birthday.  It was a great show despite that the air conditioning wasn't working and it was the hottest day of the year (97) so far. Saturday I left at 6:45 to work a yard sale for our local food pantry - whew! - it was hot that day too especially the last two hours between 12 -2. But it was worth it - we made over $600 for food purchases.

On my design wall are pinwheel blocks for a quilt I'm making for DGD.  I only got to do a bit of sewing today, but it will be my priority for the week in between making another top for St. Anne's. That meeting is Thursday.  This week is always busy with all the prep for St. Anne's and getting ready for the Second Saturday sale at the library.  I'm already tired. 



What's on your design wall?  I'm heading over to Judy's Patchwork Times and Lyn's BOMs Away to see what others will be working on this week.

Stash Report 5/4/13

Essentially, nothing in and nothing out. I just used a few scraps from my stash to work on the applique blocks(probably about .01 yards). My numbers are almost the same as last week:

in 3.5 yds.; out .01 yds.

Stash YTD: in 6.5 yds., out 38.22 yds.

Donated YTD: 16.34 yds

Net for 2013: out 31.72 yds.

 

So here are some photos of  flowers in bloom around my yard.

 

 

 

 

 

Were you able to de-stash?  Let's go over to Judy's Patchwork Times and check out the posting there.

 

 

It's Hexie Friday!

Billie and I are having  a Quilt Along (or should I say sew along as this is a long time sewing project). And you're invited to join us.  We both have hexie projects started.  To keep us moving forward, we're going to share our progress (probably slow on my part) on Fridays.  You can see my first venture into "Hexidom" here .  This is as far as I've gotten so far:
Five more to sew on and I'll be done with my first flower - 26 to go! 

Billie has a beautiful pattern she is working on. It's called Star Flower. Please visit her Friday post to see it.  And she's having a giveaway!

Do you have a hexie project? I'd love to see it! Tell me about it in a comment.
