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

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

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 – 2/5/2025

Not a lot of progress has been made since I set my goals for the week. Interfacing has been applied to the pieces of the Laura’s Little Notebook Covers and the tab stitched. Tonight after work I need to get the binding on the quilt. I need to have it finished by Friday!

2024 Starts

February 2, 2025 11:56 am ⋅ Leave a Comment ⋅ Pam

I’m happy to report that most of the projects I started in 2024 were completed last year or in January 2025. These are the ones which are still unfinished.

First up is Multiplicity. Diane Knott spoke at a guild event and taught this class the next day back in April. I was late to the class — it seems like I was working that morning, then after we got going I didn’t like my fabric selection — I didn’t have enough lighter colors. When I got home I pulled additional fabric from my batik stash, but didn’t get anything done since I shortly left for my trip to Scotland and came back work on multiple quilts for a couple of programs I was giving later in the year. This project finally was boxed up and put on the shelf. It’s not on this year’s list but maybe I’ll have to pull it out for next year.

The top 2 quilts are from my program “Got Blocks? Now What?” where I discussed different settings to use when you have a stack of blocks — in these case blocks from a Block of the Month. The bottom one is Illusions from a 3-yard book, made bigger. The BOM quilts were quilted in August and the Illusions quilted in November. They are all waiting to be bound and are on my 2025 UFO Goals list.
