Progress!
Saturday night I sewed the last stitches in the binding of my Pioneer Braid (pattern inspiration at quiltville.com by Bonnie Hunter). These 8 1/2 yards are a welcome finish, as the scraps used for the top had lingered for too long in my scrap bags. With moving looming in the near future, I was ready to reduce the scrap bags. The backing fabric I had other plans for, but it seemed to fit so well as the backing that I had to give up my other ideas. In addition, I've now completed using my box of uglies that I had intended to use by year's end!
I also received a yard of gorgeous green batik from my best friend after her trip to Minnesota. I don't know what I'll do with it, but I will dream about it!
IN this week: 1 yard
IN YTD: 104 1/2 yards
OUT this week: 8 1/2 yards
OUT YTD: 149 yards
YTD Total: 44 1/2 yards OUT
I might still reach 50 yards out before another month passes... I hope to make two bonnets this week and quilt the scrap triangles from my Star Struck (a la Bonnie Hunter). This may be challenged as I have no sewing room still. The dining room remains a crowded disaster, but DH has worked like a trooper to sand, stain, and polyurethane the floors this week. We are also trying to finish painting before we move all the furniture back in. I also need some sleep (lots of it, in fact).
Check out the other stash reports (most of them have better pictures than mine!) at Judy's blog.
