Apparently working full-time, remodeling a kitchen, quilting, and bunco is not conducive to maintaining a blog, but I’m trying. Two weeks ago I went to Pensacola, Florida for the Gulf States Quilt Association quarterly meeting. At the time I was overwhelmed with everything I needed to get done, but since I needed to turn in my Lotto blocks and it was too late to cancel my hotel reservation, I went to the meeting. Cindy Grisdela was the speaker and I won a door prize!
I stopped in at A&E Fabrics & Crafts “just to look”. I actually was doing quite well until I spotted the dot fabric. I’ve been commissioned to make a quilt in these colors, so off to the races I went. I had 2 or 3 bolts I planned to take the rest of the bolt (less than 3 yards each) and I was going to just get 1/2 of the rest. Then they explained the sales they had going on and most of what I picked was 40% off. Naturally I bought more since it was on sale. I ended up with just shy of 19 yards.
Also added to my stash this week was 1 yard of assorted Jason Yenter fabric from the new Dragons-Emerald Reign collection. This is what was left after I made the Emerald Reign quilt as a shop sample. That and some scraps.
In addition to making the shop sample, I bound 2 panel quilt. When I was shown the floral quilt, I fell in love with it – and had to go get my kitchen samples. I picked up the panel today when I dropped the quilts off. Yes, I’ll be making this to hang in my breakfast room.
Nearly forgot. 2 yards of a wide back came in for me to use in assorted craft projects — such as the backsplash behind my stove. More on that later.
So this week’s Stash Report:
Fabric Added Since Last Report: 28.08 yards
Fabric Added to Date: 77.25 yards
Fabric Used Since Last Report: 0
Fabric Used to Date: 36.116 yards
Net Fabric Stash: 46.464 yards
