Monthly Archives: February 2011

Yes, this week there was more fabric in than fabric out.  I purchased lots of so good safari fabric for P&B Textiles because it was on sale.  Because of the price, I bought 6.5 yards and I am still regretting that I didn’t buy more!  On the sewing side this week, I completed blocks 5 and 6 from my Jelly Roll quilt from last year.  Additionally, I spent a night sewing blocks for a string quilt from all of my scraps.  Here is the recap for this week:

See how others are using up their stash with the Sunday Stash Report, hosted by Judy of Patchwork Times.

Lastly, there is still time to enter my 1 year of blogging giveaway!

Each quilt has a story.  The Quilt Story Blog is a wonderful blog that features quilters and their quilt stories….

My Dragonfly Quilt is being today on the Quilt Story Blog!

Note:  There is still time to enter my 1 year blog celebration giveaway.

Happy Wednesday!  Yesterday marked my one year of blogging.  Be sure to check out yesterday’s post to enter a giveaway.

My February goal was to complete the two Quilt Alongs that I started last February.   I finished the Pinwheel Party a couple of weeks ago; however, I still have lots of sewing to on my Jelly Roll Quilt Along.  Luckily, there still are a few days left in February!

Here are my sewing updates from this past week:

• Jelly Roll Quilt Along: Blocks 5 and 6 are complete.
• Seminole Strip Quilting: One of the six total rows is complete, thanks to the Friday Night Sew In
• Sliced Coins Quilt Along: Pieced back and pin basting

Last week, I joined the Sunday Stash Report, hosted by Judy of Patchwork Times.  Here is round two:

IN: 5 YARDS

Last September, I purchased the Botany Jelly Roll, designed by Lauren and Jessi Jung for Moda.  I will be making the Ink Pot pattern by Nellie’s Needles.  To complete this pattern, I added some new fabric to my stash:

• 1 Yard Sashing:  Brown tone-on-tone Tic Tac Fabric designed by Kim Schaefer for Andover Fabrics
• 1 Yard for Pieced Back:  Green Birds tone-on-tone Nikki Fabric designed by Pat Sloan for P&B Textiles
• 3 Yards for Pieced Back: Brown Olive Rose Curves by Valori Wells for Westminster Fubers

OUT: 2.5 YARDS

From the Gen X Kona Swap, I started the Seminole Quilt with four of the solids: Canary, Purple, Pomegranate, Glacier.  Additionally, I pieced the back for the Sliced Coins quilt-a-long.

Yet again, it is another Wednesday when I try to capture my sewing accomplishments from the previous weekend and then plot out the agenda for the upcoming weekend.

Sewing consumed my Saturday and Sunday with three complete finishes:

• A Quilt for Henry: My Sister-In-Law’s Bulldog turned 2!  Of course, doesn’t everyone give quilts to dogs? [insert sarcasm here]
• Confetti Celebration: A “quick” stash buster — if it didn’t take 8 months.
• Pinwheel Party: My first quilt-a-long is complete! Since I don’t have a posting yet with full detail pictures, here is a snapshot.

Other than my finished quilts, my only project update is my Seminole Sampler for my new class.  Row one is complete with the Flip-Flop.  Here is my current progress on all of my projects:

The best part of Wednesday is seeing what everyone else is working.  Clink below to see via the  Work-In-Progress Wednesday Link-Up.
