Quilting ADD (and stash report)
Let's get the stash report out of the way first. You already know that I bought fabric- it was 7 yards. I still don't have anything going out but I will as soon as Mom finishes the binding on my QFAH quilt. Then there will be another shortly behind it.
The current tally:
- This week IN: 7
- This week OUT: 0
- YTD IN: 170.5 yards
- YTD out: 156.5 yards
- NET OUT: 39 yards (Goal 100 yards)
Today I have been dealing with my hangover from my dyeing experiment. I've had a headache all day and haven't been able to concentrate on any one thing. So I've flitted from project to project.
I am also planning to do Judy's new Block of the Month quilt so I'm starting to plan the color palette. I am thinking that I might try to dye all of the fabrics for this one. I want to make it to hang in my bedroom in place of this quilt. I love this quilt - it was the 6th quilt that I made and it's been hanging in our bedroom for over 10 years. I'm ready for a change! I feel like I was channeling Judy today because I also made zucchini bread dough for 3 loaves to freeze. I'm trying everything I can to use all of the zucchini in the garden! Frozen bread dough works great. I spent the most time quilting Wanda's QOV. This is a very pretty quilt with sort of an Asian look. I decided to do an all over fern design using a King Tut thread. I only have a pass and a half to finish. I may get it done tonight - if not, tomorrow. I want to have this one and one other ready to give to Mom this weekend for binding. The next one (one of mine) will not have such heavy quilting but I think the dense quilting texture looks great on this quilt.
Here's my design wall. The red, white and blue blocks are the reversible blocks. I finished 8 more of them yesterday. The reverse side is done in Christmas fabric. What's that yellow thing?
Why that's yet another quilt I started this weekend! LOL! This is a block for a baby quilt for one of my work friends. I adore this monkey fabric. Of course I planned a quilt that requires a ton of fussy cutting but it's going to be really cute. Fortunately there are only 13 of these blocks. I hope to get one done every day for the next 12 days. The baby is due August 31.
