May 21st, 2013 - Today’s Stitching Project

Here’s my stitching for today.

20130521-233417.jpg it’s a Birdbrain pattern called Snow Happens. I really like the quirky snowmen in this. I guess I’m going for some blue work as I also bought the pattern Cool Guys from Turnberry Lane that features snowmen as a border of blue rail fence type blocks. One thing about snowmen is they can be left out for the winter, not just for Christmas.
Wait and see the finished projects.

May 19th, 2013 - The Stash

Well, I haven’t been around for the last few reports but I’ve been busy. And I did buy some fabric.

20130519-013734.jpg Ten yards in total. I don’t have any reproduction fabric and I needed some to go with these.

20130519-013919.jpg My neighbour found these and where ever it was, they were supposed to go in the garbage. She rescued them and thought I might be able to do something with them. So I’m going to try and make some blocks from that fabric to go with these. There’s 12 blocks and only 1 has a noticeable stain on it and it’s probably going to stay there because I’ve tried almost everything to get rid of it. Grandma’s stain remover is next.
There are some other blocks in purple, green and gold that need a real cleaning. One looks like blood. So when I have the time, I’ll get them all cleaned up, I hope, and show them to you.
Now for some numbers.
Fabric used this week: 7.3 yds
Fabric used YTD: 95.75 yds
Fabric added this week: 10 yds
Fabric added YTD: 91.17 yds
Net fabric busted: 4.58 yds
I’m still in the black. I have 5 more weeks of recuperation from a little surgery and one of the only things I can do is sew. Sew on that note, I’m going to do just that. Have a great week!
