The stash week started out great, as I gave some fabric to my mom to make a couple dresses for Haiti and finished up my own. These will head to Haiti with the husband of one of our guild members - she collected around 150 dresses in all!
From there, I worked on UFOs for my friend Lois' family. We had a bee work day on Monday and I kinda turned it into a UFO sweat shop! We got three tops finished, three backs made, and two quilts basted so they are ready for quilting (and one that I didn't bring home is already done!). My fabric didn't take a hit for any of this, as I am not counting any stash used for Lois' projects in my report.
I also got another big baby nine patch blanket done, so now have those all ready to gift/mail. My mom added the name with her embroidery machine and they are in the dryer right now. Will be packed up so I can drop them at post office tomorrow.
Last night, I decided that I didn't want to do any quilting, so I wandered in and picked up the batiks from my Five Easy Pieces quilt that I started over a year ago. I've had all the blocks made for ages, but was procrastinating on cutting the side setting triangles (why, I don't know). I got the remaining 5 cut and started piecing the quilt last night. It is gonna be bright and scrappy! It is intended for our bed, and I think we may wind up needing sunglasses to sleep under it! There are 11 rows to put together and here are the first three. As you can see, I am running out of room on the design wall, so I will have to go to another location as I get to the center rows.
All in all, it was a great week for the report, so here it is:
Fabric added this week: 0
Fabric used this week: 3 1/8 yards
Fabric added year to date: 18 5/8 yards
Fabric used year to date: 76 3/8 yards
Net fabric used: 57 3/4 yards!
Hope you all had a great week too and stop by Judy's blog if you want to see how everyone else did!
