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

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.

 

What I’m Working on Wednesday – A Finish and A Start

In this installment of What I’m Working on Wednesday, I have a finish and a new start.  The finish is Jelly Roll Twist.  I made the top at the quilt retreat this past September and quilted it this past December. I finally got it bound on Tuesday.

  • Started 9/21/24 – Finished 1/22/25
  • 51″x 60″
  • Glide 40wt in Cotton Candy
  • Hearts n Flowers
  • Legacy 80/20 batting
  • Donation Quilt

The new start is Living on Cornbread.  In November I saw an antique quilt with these blocks and fell in love with it. I started with a layer cake and yardage, but will end up getting another one as one layer cake only makes 21 blocks. I reached out to an Etsy seller to cut templates for the kite unit, as that angle is narrower than what the Accquilt die makes.
