Stash Report 6/16/13

Well I did some weeding in my stash for another church who makes quilts for Africa to the sum of 12.38 yards and I made a simple apron - can't show it to you yet til I take it to Guild next week for another 1.13 yards!  And coming off my design wall is my Whimsical Block!  It goes fast when I remember to reverse the templates, double the fabric, etc. - hehe. I think the petals will look better once I quilt the block when it's part of the quilt - give them more definition.

Here are my numbers:

in 0.0 yds.; out 13.51 yds.

Stash YTD: in 6.5 yds., out 76.91 yds.

Donated YTD: 38.96 yds

Net for 2013: out 70.41 yds

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times when she posts this week's. She's making some neat quilts called Road to Llano. You should give a look; provides the pattern, too.

Barely Hexie Friday

Here's the last bit of sewing I've did on Sunday - started my fourth Hexie flower. Since then no time for this kind of fun.  With DGS#1, picked up DGS#2 and off we went to fast paced day.  First was the Discovery Center in Santa Ana to see a special Lego exhibit.  An interesting place.  While they built Lego castles I toured an excellent Da' Vinci exhibit and Rocket Lab - yes this place is very varied - and the gift shop - the quietest place there!  After two and a half hours there we went to lunch and then headed for Newport Beach.  Great afternoon - hit the beach just right around 3PM when the sun wasn't so hot.

What are you up to sewing wise or not?  Leave us a link or comment.  Billie and I would love to see your work as we dream about getting back to quilting and fun once the summer goodness of family has settled to a more leisurely pace. Link below:

No Quilting Going on

No quilting going on in the house.  Cousins are visiting from Texas, grands to babysit, Sewdality to organize and more! It's been go, go, go for the last 13 days.

Monday's outing saw us at the Cabrillo National Monument to get a great view of all of San Diego:

 

  Then off to Old Town.

 

The park has really changed since I was last there.  Before it was a lot of neat shops.  Now the shops are on the periphery and the park compound is really historic - lots to see and do.



Beautiful succulent plantings every where and so many choices for good eating.  We were going to leave after lunch but came out leaving at 4PM.  We did see quilts in the residences and a park volunteer quilting:

 

No applique this week, but do visit Esther's blog .  She's about to begin an 18 month BOM of a beautiful 1790 Marriage Coverlet - all beautiful applique with a medallion.
