Stash Report 6/23/13

Couldn't resist!  Took my cousins to a quilt store last Monday and saw this fabric. So I bought 2 yards. Maybe make a beach quilt. No definite plans for it, so I have to report it as incoming for stash.  I used 1/2 yard binding the secret quilt and a few scraps finishing my applique block (not enough to count) last week.  So 2 in and .5 out means my stash total for the year grew 1.5 yards. Oh well.  I'd post the numbers but I'm off to see DS1 and family for three days - the last with DGS3 here from Colorado. Can't wait!

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times . Go see how others are doing in the de-stashing ranks. See you probably Wednesday.

It's Hexie Friday Again

I'm taking time from stuff to post this. Will be short.  Just a few more hexies sewn to my fourth flower:

Some have asked where I got the pattern for the basket.  I found it on this old QNM, March 1994.  To see some other luscious hexagon projects go to Sue Garman's Blog

That's it for this week.  Would love to see your Hexi project or whatever you're working on. Love, love eye candy.  It can be so inspiring!

Last Applique Thursday

No, I'm not giving up applique - LOL.  I'm moving this weekly post to Tuesday to better fit my schedule for family, commitments (quilty and otherwise) and available time.  The linky will be open til each Thursday, Midnight. I hope you'll still join me and share your eye candy then. I love to see what you're up to and it doesn't have to be applique!

At right is my finally finished Forget Me Not block - Crown of Thorns.  I still need to do a little more thread painting on it, but I'll do that when I quilt the wall hanging.  Esther will soon be starting the free BOM for 2013.  It is her version of a beautiful 1790 Marriage Coverlet.  I'm patiently waiting for it to start by continuing on with the 2012 BOM.  I have six blocks done now - six to go.  If you are considering her coverlet project, why not make a block of this Gorgeous Floral Quilt while you wait (and learn some of her techniques).  Each block - I think- would make a wonderful wall hanging and you have 24 blocks to choose from.  Join the yahoo group and you can see the blocks others made and the finished quilt. Then go to her shop to buy a block.

Now for the linky button:
