Stash Report 6/9/13

A last Yellow Iris and some Mexican Primrose before the Heat!

Design wall still the same.  I'm down to sewing the rows together, but, hey, some yardage out!  Three and 1/4 yards for the back of the pinwheel quilt; a fat eighth for the applique blocks; a half yard for the hexie basket backgrounds, and a 1/4 yard for binding a VA quilt!
Here are my numbers!

in 0.0 yds.; out  4.13 yds.

Stash YTD: in 6.5 yds., out 63.4 yds.

Donated YTD: 26.58 yds

Net for 2013: out 56.9 yds

 

Moving along!  I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times.  How about you? 

It's Hexie Friday! 6/7/13

I've been working on my first block for my hexie quilt. I've been auditioning backgrounds, vases, handles, leaf colors and such. Then I had to make the layout template to use for positioning. That requires I make a copy of the block placement in the magazine. This quilt is from an old issue of Quilter's Newsletter. Here's what I've settled on:

 

The photo was taken at night so the color isn't as true as it could be, but tomorrow starts June craziness, so it's post now or not til next Monday - LOL.  The flowers are placed exactly as the pattern set them, but I'm thinking the yellow one should be to the left a little bit to balance. Any comments?  I would love to see your Hexie project or otherwise.  It will be my treat to see and visit your loveliness as a respite from running around. Here's the linky:

Applique Thursday

First last week's winner is Val S of Brisbane, Australia. Congratulations Val!  Send me your mailing address and I'll send your book.  Note: Val is a no-reply blogger.  I'll give her a few days to get back to me before I have random.org generate a new number winner.

Sadly, I've come to the end of my pile of giveaway books.  It's been so much fun meeting new people and sharing the quilting magic in books.  I may start again once I've gone through my sewing room this summer with patterns, notions or ??  I'll see what goodies I find as I continue to bring order and grace to my creative space.  I have a long way to go.  I'll still be sharing applique - this is one of the best ways I've found to keep me going forward on it by sharing it with you. Here's hoping you'll still come by and share your eye candy each week - doesn't have to be a finish or applique - you know I love flowers and books too!

Now for this week's applique - a little more done on my Whimsical block:

This flower was a long time getting together as I kept forgetting to reverse petals, double the fabric so the dots wouldn't show, etc, but finally this one is done.  One more flower to go.
Would love to see what you're up to!
