Stash Report Week #29

Forward progress! Nuggette's curtain-quilt is complete for 4 1/2 yards out. It was a quilt-as-you-go type, with each piece being an experiment in free-motion quilting. It turned out pretty well, all things considered. I like it.

Please excuse the wacky formatting. I don't know why blogger is being difficult, but there are way too many spaces that I didn't put in here.

But then there's my sewing room, which is now an echoing, vacant chamber. In this picture, I've shoved all the furniture to the center to prepare for painting. DH is sanding and refinishing the wood floors. Then we'll finish the painting... then my sewing room will be merged with DH's office so Q can have his own room and the toys can move out of the living room. Oh, my, is all I can say. Oh, my.

My pioneer braid quilt is over half quilted, but I didn't get much work done on it this week. I spent Monday picking potatoes and peaches (and by a gift, 6 dozen "farm fresh" eggs). Tuesday was spent canning: peaches, peach jam, peach butter, and peach salsa. Wednesday was watching the kids and keeping them inside so DH could paint (and weeding, and sorting potatoes, etc.). Friday was moving furniture and stepping on a staple (straight into my bare foot. Don't walk up and down stairs that have recently had carpet pulled up in bare feet. My foot still hurts - but I had a tetanus booster when Q was born.).

Here's all the fabric I've bought in the last few months. I'm missing one of the
Assistant's pieces as she already chopped it to bits. The red in the center is for my older sister's music quilt. It will be a while before I get to that quilt, however, but at least I know what I want to do for it. Most of them have a direct purpose: music quilt, Screamer's quilt (red), the hexagon quilt, or my "Peaches and Dreams" quilt. The only two pieces that don't have a particular purpose were gifts.

The half-square triangle quilt top is awaiting basting, but the backing, pins, and batting are currently in one of the boxes filling my dining room. Sigh. (Update: I found the pins, etc., so now it will be just waiting for the two youngest to be asleep so I can pin in peace.)

There should be some beautiful floors upstairs by next week!
