March 10th, 2019 - Still Stitching
I finally have the time to do a blog post. I have not posted for 4 weeks. My plan was to post at least every 2 weeks when my grandkids are not here but sometimes that doesn’t work. Oh well. The only good thing is that my numbers look awesome and then you realize that’s for 4 weeks. Still, I managed to get some sewing time in except for one day out of 4 weeks. Overall, I stitched on average 3.5 hours each day. And I have not made any dents in this stash.
I made backings for 2 quilts out of the flannel I purchased in January. I made a binding for a comfort quilt. Then I just had to make this quilt from a picture I saw online.
It’s huge. This is why patterns are good. Sizes! I think it’s called Sheep Shape. Anyway, it will be for a very large baby.
Then I decided that I cannot make any more quilt tops until I get some of them quilted. So I started working on some kits that I have in my stash.
Ship Shape. And it’s a quilt. This is a paper pieced project that I thought was hard. Seeing as there are not that many pieces in each block, I was done in no time. On to the next kit.
Sew Square table runner (folded in half) Completely finished, just waiting for the fall to use it.
This little kit took me a whole 2 hours to make. And another quilt. There’s a date stamp in the selvedge, 2007, so I’ve had this for a while. Wonder why I never made it.
And another quilt! I just finished this one on Saturday. It’s only been in the stash since last fall. I can’t wait to quilt it and hang it up in my dining room! I love this quilt. Maybe that’s why it’s called Colour Love. It’s from the Mini Wonderful Curves book using the QCR Mini. I added a few fabrics as some of the colours in the kit didn’t work for me.
I better work on the kits that are table runners and smaller things that I can quilt myself. The “To Be Quilted” list has 30 items on it. Some I can do myself but my machine needs to be serviced as it is skipping stitches. I check all my seams to make sure there are no skipped stitches. Funny how I was just thinking that it must be about time to get it serviced and then it starts skipping. Then the service icon comes up. And the place I take it to is about 2.5 hours away. I was hoping to take it in when the weather gets nice. If that ever happens!
Now for those numbers.
Fabric used since the last time: 24.72 yds
Fabric used YTD: 42.27 yds
Fabric added since the last time: 2.2 yds
Fabric added YTD: 19.2 yds
Net fabric busted: 23.09 yds

Great numbers! Ship shape is adorable with the boat fabric in the border. I also like the Color Love quilt.
I think lots of people pile up the tops that need quilted. I’ve done it before, but try not to anymore.

Wow, you flew through those kits! Color Love is perfect, so bright, colorful and fun. Hope you can get your machine in and serviced soon. Thanks for linking up with 15 minutes to stitch.
