A Busy Weekend – Stash Report, a Finish, and This Week’s Goals

February 11, 2025 3:22 pm ⋅ Leave a Comment ⋅

This past weekend was jam packed.  Friday I was waiting on a package and finishing the binding on a quilt before driving to Hattiesburg to the MQA meeting.  Saturday after the meeting, I headed home and stopped at Ritzy Quilting. Sunday I went back to Hattiesburg as I left something at the hotel. When I got home I watched “my team” get soundly defeated in the big game. Monday, I cleaned and cooked as I hosted Bunco. So, let’s start with the Stash Report which I planned to post on Friday.

Stash Report

I cut out more of the Little Laura Notebooks and as of Friday, no new fabric added to my stash.

Fabric Added Since Last Report: 0 yards
Fabric Added to Date:  1 yards

Fabric Used Since Last Report: 1.25 yards
Fabric Used to Date: 7.875 yards

Net Fabric Stash: -6.875 yard

A Finish!

This is another variation of the 2024 Brandon Quilters Block of the Month.  I call this one Framed.  All I needed to do was bind and label it.  It’s on my Brandon Quilters UFO list, MQA UFO List, and 2 other online UFO lists.

  • Started 2/4/24
  • Finished 2/7/25
  • 74″ x 92″
  • Glide 40wt in Magic Mint
  • Fresco Feathers
  • Legacy 80/20 batting
  • Made for the program “Got Blocks? Now What?”

Weekly Goals

Last week there were 3 goals

  • Get Framed bound – DONE
  • I have 10 more notebook covers prepped.
  • Living on Cornbread — I need to go pick up another layer cake on Friday.  – Picked it up Saturday.

As expected all I got done on the Living on Cornbread was picking up the layer cake on my way home from the MQA meeting. The extra trip to Hattiesburg kept me from the sewing machine Sunday before the game.

Goals for the Week of 2/10/2025

  • Finish the notebook covers.
  • Bind the BQ 2024 BOM Blue Waters
  • Quilt Cindy’s Pizza Box Quilt
  • Prep Clues 4 & 5 of the BQ 2025 Mystery Quilt
  • Make 10 sets of corners for Living on Cornbread
  • Bind Illusions

Looking at this it seems like a lot – tonight I have to finish the newsletter for Quilters By Hearts Desire, so I can’t really get started until tomorrow. But there’s nothing on my calendar for this weekend.  I want to get as much done as I can, as I’m not certain when my brother will be here.

Setting Quilting Goals – 2025 UFO List

2025 Brandon Quilters UFOs

Last year I turned in a small UFO list — I think there were 4 items on it since I knew I was planning on 5 different versions of the Brandon Quilters Block of the Month.  With the remodeling taking place and my trip to Scotland for the most part quilting did not happen until the 2nd half of the year and it was all what HAD to be done instead of what struck my fancy.  Do not get me wrong, I wanted to make those 5 quilts. It was my decision, it’s just that I was frustrated that there was no time to do any thing else.

This year I want to avoid cramming all the quilting the last 6 months of the year. There is remodeling this year – my kitchen! A trip this summer – The Kansas City Quilt Festival, speaking at Candlelight Quilters in Raytown, Missouri, the Iowa State Quilt Museum and the Minnesota State Quilt Show.  Plus I’m still President of the Brandon Quilters and Secretary of Quilters By Hearts Desire and a member of the Mississippi Quilt Association, Gulf States Quilt Association. I’m ballroom dancing 3 – 4 times a month, play Bunco once a month and still working full time.

My goal this year is to finish projects which were started in the past, start & finish some new quilts/quilted items I’ve identified, make a few non-quilted items, pick a few projects from my kits, small projects and panels and still allow for the unknown — maybe something from my travels. For now, here is my 2025 Brandon Quilters UFO list.  I’ve already finished one item!

  1. 2020 Candlelight Snowman Swap – Finished 1/12/25
  2. BQ 2024 BOM Framed – needs binding
  3. BQ 2024 BOM Blue Waters – needs binding
  4. Compass Lone Star – still piecing
  5. Kandy Korn Kitty – finish applique
  6. Yellow & Green Illusions – needs binding
  7. Retreat Jelly Roll – needs binding
  8. Auction Top – quilt
  9. BQ 2024 BOM Grunge – needs assembling
  10. Music Jelly Roll – top needs finishing
  11. 2022 QBHD Color Theory – still piecing
  12. Rivanna – assemble blocks
