I had another good week - I was able to find lots of time for quilting which was really nice!
I started the week working on a snap happy tote and matching bag. I started second guessing my color choice for the straps/accent on the tote, so instead worked on and finished the matching bag.
I also got a quilt quilted and binding sewn on, but I'd already prepped and counted the binding for it, so no stash busting there.
Last night, I got busy making scrap bags. For all my fabric and batting scraps, I throw them into a bag, and when it's full, I make it into a pet bed. I've kept one for Mittens and have donated one to the local animal shelter, and am ready to fill one or two more now. I realized that this would be a great use for some of the older fabric Lois left me.
I got four bags done last night and have a couple more yards pulled to make up soon.
I also got my second snowbound BOM fused, so now I am caught up (well, on the fusing at least) to February. So far, I am loving how these are turning out in brights!
Onto the stash report....
