ornament

I made this ornament out of 2.5" squares.

I know now that I have to put the hanger on before the last round of stitching.

Secret Santa Gifts

Ok, not Secret Santa gifts for me, but for a friend that asked for some special items.

The favorite colors were red and purple.

She loves music

I made a candle mat, an ornament, two travel Kleenex covers and a set of coasters.

Anything she doesn't like, I can use for elsewhere.

Sunday Stash Report

It was a good week to complete UFOs.
I made my 400 yards of fabric used.
I don't think I'll set another goal, so it will be gravy on top.

How Much Does it Cost?

Catbird Quilts has an interesting article on determining if you want to quilt for the public (or at least that is how I read the article)

 How Much Does it Cost?

I had always heard double the cost of materials, but she suggests that it is triple the cost.

Of course, that is probably because I was going off an older version.

This article does tell me why I don't quilt for the public.

I'm happy to do my own quilting and longarming for charity.

The actual cost of a quilt is why I don't give to many auctions.

I many cases, they do not even start the bidding at the cost of materials.

Go check it out.

NBAQG Charity Quilts

I finished two of the four charity quilts from the New Braunfels Area Quilt Guild. (NBAQG)

This little bear quilt for leaves in the blue variegated thread.
