Stash Report 5/19/13

A waxy beauty from my DH's cactus!

Went to a Sew Day at our Guild today.  We made blocks for VA quilts.  I actually got a whole top done using a panel to which I added fabric round and round it.  It measures about 36 by 42.  I pulled a fabric from my stash to be the back, so that used a yard.  I also fussy cut some squares and that used up another 1/4 yard.  Not much other de-stashing, but I didn't buy anything either.
Here are my numbers:

in 0.0 yds.; out  1.25 yds.

Stash YTD: in 6.5 yds., out 52.72yds.

Donated YTD: 26.58 yds

Net for 2013: out 46.22 yds

 

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times. Join me there to see other's de-stashing endeavors. 

Bring on the Candy!

Eye Candy that is!

 

It's time for Amy's Fabulous Blogger's Quilt Festival! While others have Quilt Market to go to, we that can't get there, have all the eye candy we could want to see at BQF. I find more wonderful quilting blogs to visit every time I attend, whether I participate or not.  Thank you so much, Amy!

 

My entry this year is a small item and picked, not in hopes of winning a prize, but to show a new technique I learned.  Here is my Christmas table topper.  I made this from a pattern created by Cheryl Phillips of  Phillips Fiber Art  .  I don't think I would have tried this without her wedge tool and excellent directions.  And it only took a few Christmas scraps from my stash! It measures 18" round.

Look forward to seeing a quilt of yours at Blogger's Quilt Festival.

It's Hexie Friday!

Firstly, the winner from last week's giveaway is Carrie P. I've sent her an email. Thanks so much to everyone who shared eye candy and comments. It was great to hear from you.

I made a little bit of progress. Seems like the only time I get to work on my hexies is when Alan, my DGS, is taking a nap, and they seem to be getting shorter and shorter - LOL.

A few more hexies and I'll be done with my second flower!  Have you been working on a hexie project?  Have an old one you can share?  We'd love to see it.  You can see Billie's progress at her blog. So far these Friday's have been inspiring us to move along on hexie hand piecing projects.  Here's the linky button:
