Stashbusting report

A little more sewing this week, but considering I haven't been doing much of anything, any sewing is a big improvement.

Fabric in YTD: 0 yards

Fabric out this week: 5 yards

Fabric out YTD: 7.5 yards

Also....

Happy Birthday to my sweet daughter E...the last 26 years have just flown by, my love!

Stash Report and thank you's

I have skipped the last few stash reports.

With everything that's been going on the last while, I haven't done much in the sewing department. Hopefully that will change soon.

Fabric in YTD: 0 yards

Fabric out YTD: 2.5 yards

I also want to thank all of you for the well wishes and personal e-mails

you sent me at the time of my Dad's passing.

It was very thoughtful!

I also wanted to post that today would have been my Dad's 85th birthday. Both he and Mom passed on exactly 18 days before their next birthdays. He liked a party with his family the best!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

My Dad

My Dad passed away this morning. He has missed my Mom since she died nearly 9 years ago. The were married 58 years
He loved to design and fly Airplanes. He was happy when he soared above the clouds

I know he is reunited with my Mom...they're dancing on some beach in Heaven!

I miss him already....

My goal this year is 100 yards.

I've done some block sewing this week, but I'm not going to count it until the top is done.

Fabric in YTD: 0 yards

Fabric out YTD: 0 yards

I'm going to add my weekly goals to my stashbusting report each Sabbath, so for this week:

Finish blocks and top for solid scrap charity quilt

Start on January Journal quilt

Find pattern for Bird ornament

Hang painting in Studio

Install shelf in Studio for hat collection

Have a great week!

My last 2009 Stash report

Where has the year gone....it definitely has gone by fast!

With family commitments, I never did get any sewing done this last week.

For my final count:

Fabric in Year-to-date: 80 yards

Fabric out year-to-date: 153 yards

I didn't meet my 2009 goal, but I did but a big dent in the fabric piles, so it's still progress!

Here are photo's of two of my fav Christmas gifts... From my daughter V-a glass sea shell necklace. I'm not much of a jewelry wearer, but I just love this necklace...thanks Baby Girl!
From my daughter E-Samoan print fabric she purchased from one of my fav quilt bloggers, Barb, at Bejeweled...she's listed under my most visited blogs on the left side column. I am looking forward to coming up with a really good quilt (or two) with this fabric.
Thank you Sweet Pea...and Barb...for the fabric!

I hope you and yours have had a wonderful Winter Holiday Break....

Stashbusting Report

We're nearly done with our reports for 2009....where did the time go?

I've been busy with family things....cleaning out my Dad's house....so, no sewing

80 yards in YTD.....153 yards used YTD

Christmas is next week...guess I better lock myself in my sewing room!

Stashbusting report

I used one whole yard of scrap terry cloth making tubes (filled with cat liter) to block out the cold air coming into our laundryroom....hey, at least I sewed this week!

Fabric in YTD: 80 yards

Fabric used YTD: 153 yard

End of my Presidency!

I have served as President of my Syracuse Utah Quilt chapter for the past year. My reign came to an end this month when I passed on the torch to the new leaders for the 2010 year. I have had a great time being President...I had a fantastic committee that pretty well ran the whole group smoothly....I just stood at the front of the room occasionally and said a few words.

At the end of the year we get together as a group for a luncheon...this year we ate at Sizzler Steak house in Layton.....yummy salad bar. We have a gift exchange too. I scored big this year...I picked a cute little purse and in that purse was.... ...these gorgeous hand dyed fat quarters.....aren't they beautiful. I can see all sorts of possibilities in the variegated colors in these pieces. I need to create just the perfect landscape quilt with these beauties!
As out-going President, the ladies each gave me a red fat quarter....can you tell red is my favorite color? I have been working on stash busting some of my red fabric this year, but the ladies just restocked me...thanks, all!

They even included this great pattern with the fabric....can't get the photo to load side to side....sorry! It's from the Feb 2010 American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine (pg 49). It's already at the top of my to-do list.

I did not take on another committee position for 2010. Decided I am ready for a little break...need to do my own thing for a while.

New stashbusting report

I posted my report yesterday....no new fabric used...someone put two wierd comments on it...couldn't remove the comments, so I just completely removed the post.

Wish I were smarter when it comes to blogging!
