Stash Report 10/9/11

Was I busy last week?!  This week will be way more calm, but it does start with a dental appointment - ay ya yai!  Seems I have a loose implant - not good.  On the stash front.  I use a 1/4 yard to bind a charity quilt, and a half yard of crumbs to make 7 crumb blocks.  Then I culled 4 1/2 yards from my stash of fabric I'm sure not to use, so my total for the week is 5.38 yards gone from the stash.  Here are my numbers:
Used/Donated this week: 5.38 yards
Used/Donated Yr to date: 90.63yards
Added this wk: 0.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: -12 yards
-----------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Used: 78.63 yards

Almost near 80 yards!  Maybe I will make 100.

How's your destashing going?  Go on over to my left sidebar and click on Judy's Patchwork Times and see how a whole lot of other quilters are doing in getting a handle on their stash.

Shout Color Catcher Winners!

Hello!  First, thank you to the 16 quilters who left comments on this post.  Several already knew about this great product and I appreciated their comments.  Seems I'm not the only ones who likes these.  And Karen S uses them in her art quilts after they've saved fabric in the washer.  How green is that!

Okay, went to random.org and got two numbers, so the winners are Helsie and Jodi!  Congratulations, ladies!  As soon as I get your snail mail address, I'll send you one to try.

Thanks for playing. 

Applique Thursday 10/6/11

In between all my commitments, I managed to squeeze in a few minutes here and there to work on my third owl.  He's all fused together - now I will have to find sit down time at my machine to stitch him down.  The pattern for this shop hop block came from Esther's Fabrics located in Washington state.  They were part of the 2010 shop hop - it's a big one!

Any applique to share?  I'd love to see a present or past project even a future one.  If it has piecing also - even better.  I love applique and piecing eye candy.  Leave a blog post or photo link below to your project.
Thanks so much.

WIP Wednesday 10/5/11

I do have other projects I'm working on - just not ready to show what I've done as it hasn't been that much. So here are the 4 latest crumb blocks I've made.  Our assignment this week was to use triangles.

You can see what all the crumbs are about at Jo's Crumb along.  The button is in my left sidebar.

To see what others are working on now, click on WIP Wednesdays by freshly pieced.  That's in the left sidebar, too.  Be inspired.
