Woohoo! Two finishes this week. Pictures are HERE!
By finishing my "Making Ends Meet" quilt (pattern by Judy Laquidara), I busted 15 1/4 yards. It would have been all from stash, but I had to buy more fabric for the backing. It is what it is, and I am happy with it. I do think it's a wee bit large for me to machine quilt in my present tiny room and small machine. But hey, who's complaining? Not me! I am grateful to have any space at all.
I also made a slip cover, 1 1/2 yards of fleece later, and sent it with my mom to mail without any pictures. It's a good thing my sister makes a living taking pictures, so eventually I'll see it again!
IN this week: 0 yards
IN YTD: 212 3/4 yards
OUT this week: 16 3/4 yards
OUT YTD: 145 yards
YTD Total: 60 3/4 yards in
End of the year goal (to double my usage from 69 1/2 to 139): Met and exceeded!
Now to ponder goals for next year. Some things I will have to consider are...
1. How to keep quilting when we clear out the house to put it back on the market.
2. What new skill to I want to learn?
3. TBD

Congratulations Katie!! I love the quilt you finished--it makes me think of blue skies and puffy clouds--and laying in the grass looking up.
