Stash Report Week #8 and Goals

This week, I completed the remaining charity blocks and made them into a top. I also quilted my two rows. In addition, I finished the Assistant's sleeping bag (4 yards OUT). She thinks it's weird, but I really like it!

I made a high chair mat for under the Screamer's chair, as the floor was getting pretty gross ( 1 1/2 yards OUT), made a lunch bag, which was promptly destroyed by an over-zealous husband, before it was ever used (3/4 yard)... I finished the Assistant's birthday dress instead of the Screamers (1 3/4 yard OUT), quilted 2 blocks of my quiltlet, and worked on my Japanese blocks.

Then the girls got sick. No cabin this weekend. Alas...

OUT this week: 8 yards
OUT YTD: 25 yards

IN this week: 1/4 yard music fabric for the Assistant
IN YTD: 73 yards

YTD total: 48 yards IN

At least I'm making progress!

My goals for this week include quilting 2 rows and making the backing for my charity quilt. If I finish those, I will again work on my Japanese blocks, mark the border of my quiltlet for quilting, and work on Screamer's birthday dress. The charity quilt now has an anticipated home, so I'll be feeling more pressure to get it done.

I hope we're done with our over-large share of sickness for the winter (hasn't everyone been sick more this winter than usual in your house), and that I can work some extra hours so I can take off a week at Spring Break.

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
