More blocks finished and more blocks being prepped for Dear Hannah. Still a ways to go on this one. In between I am starting on an I Spy Quilt for my youngest granddaughter. So will be starting on all the cutting this week.

This nifty tool above was a gift from Sandi. It is from Sew Be It Quilts I really love it. It holds the fabric in place while you cut. This one is the 24" size. There is a smaller 14" version that I will be looking into getting in the future.

Happy Sewing

 

Stash Report

 

No Stash report for last week. I was busy in San Diego with Family and Friends, so no quilting was done. Had a wonderful time playing tourist with a trip to Balboa Park, Old Town and La Jolla Cove. It was great to catch up with my grandkids, daughters and friends.

Above is the third charity quilt that I have completed in the last couple of weeks. It is a pattern from one of the 3yard quilt books. Super simple and fun to get these done. Most of the fabric was courtesy of Sandi!

Also completed right before I left, was this quilt for my grandaughter's teacher. I will be quilting it this week and hope to get it in the mail later this week.

Purchased were some red/white/blue fabrics. With memorial day coming up I have been feeling patriotic and will put these to good use for a table runner/ placemats. I loved the plaids and could not pass them up. Will use leftovers for QOV blocks.

Used this week: 14 yards.

Used YTD: 53 yards.

Purchased this week: 4.5 yards.

Purchased YTD: 28.5 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 24.5 yards.

Have a great week!

Another Charity quilt was completed yesterday at my sewing group. The rest of the week I will be prepping more blocks for Dear Hannah, and working on some of the paper pieced blocks. I will be on my way to San Diego for Mothers day at the end of the week!

Happy Sewing!

Wicker quilt is finshed and ready for quilting. This will be a charity donation. Thanks again to Sandi for the donated kit. Wicker was a fast and fun pattern to put together using 1.5" strips and 2.5" strips. There is also a smaller version for a baby quilt. I can see making a few more of these for charity.

The next batch of paper pieced blocks for Dear Hannah were finished this week. More to come as I am about halfway done with all the blocks.

Nothing added to the stash. Still in the black for the year!

Used this week: 10 yards.

Used YTD: 39 yards.

Purchased YTD: 24 yards.

This week more applique blocks for Dear Hannah were prepped. I am also making progress on the Wicker quilt. Blocks were started yesterday at my Tuesday Sewing group and hope to get the quilt finished up this week.

This week is one of Sandi's cross stitch quilts on the longarm. Isn't it a beauty?

What are you working on this week?

More Dear Hannah blocks on the design wall this week. I am slowly working through the paper pieced blocks and also prepping more applique blocks to take along on our next road trip.

During my sewing group on Tuesday, I am working on the quilt above as another charity quilt. This is called Wicker and the kit was donated by Sandi. It is a pretty simple design and should go fast.

Happy Sewing.
