Stash Report for Week 24 - WB 06-14-15

This has been a BUSY week!

That being said - while I AM obviously counting the Halloween TR completed - I am not going to count the eons old blocks completed - at least until either they have gone back to the folks who wanted them or have been included in a charity quilt.  On Point blocks, however, won't be counted until the entire quilt is done!

........................................................................................
2015
06-14-15 - Week 24 - includes the Halloween TR!

Used This Week: 1.750 yards
Used This month: 1.750 yards
Used Year to Date: 4.25 yards (completed Halloween TR)

Added This Week: 0.33 yard (black for binding!)
Added This Month:2.33 yards in June
Added Year to Date: 4.33 yard

Net Used for 2015: +1.92 yards

BUSY week!

BUSY week!!!!

First of all, I finished a T.R (Halloween) - and posted about that!

Then I caught up on a swap of HSTs with my dd Wendy!  And even sent that! (should arrive - Monday? or Tuesday?)

Last night was Open Sew at the LQS - and I FINALLY got the binding attached to the Log Cabin Quilt - and know that this coming week I will be spending quite a bit of time hand sewing that!  Am sooooooooooo glad to getting that done - that quilt is HEAVY! and I love it!!!!!!

Also last night at the OS class, I did block one for the On Point BOM quilt class!  No pix yet - but they will be there - plus I will be posting pix on a separate page as well!  (which means - it will be time for me to take down one of the other BOM - as soon as I quilt it and put THAT on the BTDT page!)

And all of this while team babysitting for Evan and Lilly! (for only part of the day - 1 PM on to 5 or 530)  Love those babies! and am definitely getting my baby fix in!!!!  LOL

As for the garden - well, let's just say that the ground is quite fertile - and LAST year's potatoes came up in the middle of the tomato/pepper patch and are doing WONDERFULLY!  Much better, in fact, than those planted in the potato patch!  And the weeds are doing wonderfully as well!  Definitely I need to get my bunions outside tomorrow for a short time and get that weeded!

As for the house..... ummmmmmmmmmm - yes - there is a house and I do believe there is such a thing as housework!  Need more be said?

Today I'm finishing up the last of the eons old swap blocks, then will be working on the On Point BOM some more!  And THAT will finish up the FAB 4 (or 5 or 6 or 7) list!

So - I will be posting the NEW FAB 4 list as well! (which will include hand sewing the binding on the Log Cabin!)

Halloween Table Runner is DONE! And so is the Passover T. R.!

I don't remember whether or not I ever posted a picture of the completed Passover Table Runner or not!  I completed this sometime in either February or March.

Passover Table Runner - You can't really see it but there is a leafy vine that I FMQ'd in the center of the gray with black and red flowers that journeys up to the other end of the T.R.  For a first attempt at FMQ - I didn't do too badly!  (And no, we WON'T discuss the mess that was SUPPOSED to be a many petalled flower that I removed over a period of several weeks!)

This is a closer view of the same T.R. - but you STILL can't see the pattern - just that there is SOMETHING that was done SOMEHOW SOME WAY on the fabric - good, bad, or indifferent!  (BTW - this was completed and bound either the last of February or sometime in March - I can't remember!)

The Halloween T.R. - just finished the binding this AM!  A lot more FMQ - but you can't see it, even if I did use black thread!  It shows up more on the back, but when I took pix of the back, all I got was a lot of pumpkin glare!  There are cobwebs (NO spiders, TG!), a cat with an arched back, a witch flying in front of a moon, a ghost, a bat as well - and you can't see them in the photo.  FTM - because the fabric in places is so dark, you can't really see them in real life either, although you can FEEL them - even if I did use black thread!  (I may go back and re-quilt the design - either with black again or more probably with a glow in the dark thread!)  Considering my non-expertise though, that may not be an altogether bad thing!  I did have a lot of fun working on this one though!

Design Wall for Week 23 06-08-15

All of this is dependent on whether or not I finish up the 2nd half of my SB UFO challenge (I put 2 smaller projects, table runners, as an UFO challenge item).  If I don't get them done before Sunday - then they will appear here, if I do - they might appear here - in their finished state!!!!  (YAY!  Just finished the binding on the Halloween T.R.!!!!  Now to find out whether or not the Passover TR - done some time ago - is indeed the other half of this UFO challenge #!!!!!  Picture to follow in a separate post - as soon as I figure out where I last hid my camera!)

In the event that I have more items to post...............

BINDING

THIS is the quilt I intended to post that still needs binding!  Want to work on this Fri eve - when I have use of the LQS big tables!

QUILTING

this will be for additional table runners - 1 or 2, depending on complexity and size

PIECING

Any remaining piecing or re-doing (this is the January UFO number challenge)

APPLIQUE OR HAND PIECING

Part of the Halloween Wall hangings - this is one of the 2 May number challenge UFOs

SWAPS

No picture (yet) - but will be working on 150 HSTs for my part in the trade with Wendy!  2.5 Aqua (or blue) and white!

Stash Report - Week 23 - 06-07-15 OR 4 FQ, 1 yard WOW and a discussion about buying a quilt shop

I needed some WOW (white on white fabric) and some Aqua - at least that was my "rational lie" that I told myself - so I went to the LQS.  While there (First thing out of my mouth) I expressed my sadness that the shop would close its doors by this time next year.  Inquiring further, I discussed the particulars of the quilt shop (I have several thoughts in mind and definitely would want to invest in it - if at all possible) and definitely do not consider it unreachable - particularly for the very going concern that I know this to be.  So - I'm thinking about it - strongly!

As for the WOW, etc. - I bought 1 yard WOW, and 4 FQ aqua (out of aqua, definitely out of WOW - (white on white fabric)!) and am pleased!  It was HARD to not buy out all my favorite fabrics!  But I managed!

Stash Report for this past week - Week 22 - 05-31-15

I could come up with some fabulous excuse - but honestly, I can't thank of any rational-lies - uh, rationalization that would be appropriate!  The reality is - I just didn't work on anything.

Well - almost!  That isn't totally true - I did add to the crazy quilt vest I'm working on and I have added more to the growing pile of square in a square thingies I'm working on (I need 120 - and have 80-90 so far, depending on how you count and how much you lie!)

But finishing....?  Nope - didn't happen!

And that has GOT to change!  For one thing (the BIGGEST thing, I'm thinking) - I am now #4 on the queen's list!  And I don't wannabe!  But I'm there!  Time to get going!

Goals for today - 05-31-15R Sunday, and Accomplishments and Future Goals!

Urgh!  Trying to write with this computer is for the birds - and birds are too nice for me to pick on (excepting those that like to invade and eat out of my garden!)  It truly has a baaaaaaad bad case of sticky fingers!  And I hope it gets over it - SOON!

It's still the weekend today - and I'm on critter patrol - feeding, medicating, walking and watering any and all the critters!  Evan is visiting Meemaw and I know he is thoroughly enjoying himself (I'm backup this weekend if Sherri has to make a fast trip to the store or back to work for a short bit!)

Weather - it must have rained a bit last night - which figures since I watered my garden yesterday!  And it looks like rain again today.  Considering how dry and powdery (like fine talcum powder) the soil has been - it has been STRONGLY needed (soil doesn't really crack like in most places - probably because there is entirely too much sand - sort of like trying to raise a garden at the beach!)

I can't believe May is over already!  Seems like yesterday  I was complaining about how fast everything is going and that it was the beginning of May when it felt like it should have been March AT THE LATEST! (Personally, I'm still working on August - 3 years ago!)

Accomplished this past month - ummm - not a lot - hence my return to outlining what I theoretically HOPE to get done!

Housewise..... and moving right along.....

Garden ..... I broke down and hired a young man to re-work my gardens.  Son was so in favor of this that he donated money as well!  I would have felt happier about hiring this young person if I had known that he was actually saving the money or using it for his expenses.  Unfortunately there were indications that this didn't happen - such as when he started off each day asking for money ahead so that he could buy some lunch - "just $10 or so" (I ate PBJ meanwhile!) despite being told (repeatedly) that he was to provide his own lunch.  Third day in he hesitantly brought up that I had deducted the $ amount provided earlier from his overall day's earnings (he was paid by the day) - at which point I looked surprised and reminded him that he was told he was to provide his own lunch - and he himself said as much as well.  He was here a week - then neither my son nor I needed (nor could afford) to have him for the following week - but he is supposed to be back this coming week to mow.  I hope he shows up.  He's a good kid - just very young.

Anyway - garden is IN - finally!  and I have a humongous pile of stuff for composting - probably enough to supply the neighbors, myself and all friends as well.

Quilting -wise - well - I'm #4 on the queen's list and may have moved up already.  Should I say more?

Study-wise - some studies added, some changed around, some being reviewed, some re-done (as in - where WAS I when I studied botany?  My brain sure wasn't engaged in it!  Am re-doing all experiments!)

Studies added include:Garden, Homestead, Food preservation, Learning to learn (learning tips), Finances, Music (yes, I have a piano), Art - as well as all the other stuff.

The Earth subject - I'm still Pre-Cambrian - which would be helped a LOT if I didn't keep finding these fascinating books (texts) on Pre-Cambrian period and the development of the planet Earth!  Of course, I'm finding LOTS of other books as well......

And, yes, I have re-designed the WAY I am approaching these subjects.  Learning calendar is definitely 6 days a week now.  Daily subjects include: Russian, Exercise, Music (practice), Math, Food preservation (trying for one food a day).

Three days a week (Sun, Mon, Tues) I also work on Religion, Earth, Creative Writing, Handwriting.

The other 3 days a week (Wed, Thurs, Fri) I work on Botany, Garden studies, Learning Tips, finances.

Very lopsided, I know - BUT I seem to be more motivated at the beginning of the week - so I can handle more.  By the end of the week, I am more than ready for a change of pace, and a lighter load. (Well.... maybe not at the VERY BEGINNING of the week!)

Goals for WE 05-30-15 and WB 05-31-15

Trying again - because - I'm drifting - blast it!

Actually - have been studying - some (not enough), was babysitting quite a bit with the most beautiful baby in the world!, have been ignoring my cleaning - and my quilting as much as possible (yes, I AM in the queen's court - somewhere!)

Mostly I have decided this weekend - I am going to clean this place up (NOT done yet!), plant the garden (which has been completely re-designed - don't ask!) - and which is DONE!, sort the papers out (yeah - right!), pay the bills (MOSTLY done - and I'm broke again!), babysit (done this morning!), dehydrate stuff - hopefully, study, quilt - and in my spare 2.5 seconds that I have designated for sleep - achieve world peace!

Uh huh!

Sooooooooooooo - for THIS weekend and NEXT week - goals are......

Stash Report - Week 11

Part of one of the first swaps I was ever in and
where I swapped with friends from a Big Family group.
Year? 2000  Think it's time for me to put it together?

2015
03-15-15 - Week 11
STILL  need to add the binding to the Log Cabin quilt, It's cut and ready to go.  Now to figure out what to use to support this big HEAVY quilt while I put on the binding!  As for the pattern for Spring's in the Morn (aka Spring is bustin' out all over!) I STILL have NO idea what the original thought was - BUT have decided to go with 9 patches and some blocks friends of quite a few years ago had sent.  May, as a result, go with the alternate name, since that fits better!  Saving Spring's in the Morn for something - probably applique.....

Have sewn quite a bit - just not enough!
