Stash Report 10/9/2022

  quilt paint create links to all our stash reports.

From My Carolina Home is doing a challenge on how much we use each month.

I increased how much I wanted to have as a net number for 2022.

	Used this Week:	0.51 yards
	Total Used year to Date: Donated fabric	293.59 yards 145.15 yards
	Net Stash used in December	0.51 yards
	Added this Week:	0.00 yards
	Added Year to Date:	65.75 yards
	New Goal:	300.00 yards
	Yards to the goal:	6.41 yards

I doubt I get much else done this year, so I'm calling this my year-end report.

A couple of other fun facts are:

Prairie Moon is doing a 350-block challenge:

The challenge hasn't officially started, but I like to keep track

	Total Number of equivalent blocks:	927
	Perimeter in inches:	126669
	Numer of UFOs completed UFO Yardage Used	14 68.35
	Percentage of yardage used in UFOs:	35%
	Number of Bobbins Used this week:	3
	Number of Bobbins Used this year:	113
	Number of Spools Used this week: Number of Spools Used this year:	0 24

Kate at Life in Pieces is doing the challenge of 15 minutes of sewing.

Days of Stitching                                      73%

Number of Days this week                           0/7

Number of Days this year                    267/365

Days Organizing                                        74%

Number of Days this week                            0/7

Number of Days this year                      271/365

These are not accurate, but I've not been keeping good track, so I'll just say I've not done much sewing.

I do think I sew most days, but I don't have anything to show for it, so I'll just leave it at that.

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.

I made coasters that were from my scraps, but I don't have the photo.

Praying 2023 is a better year for everything for me.

this is the last report for me for this year.

Have a Blessed Holiday Season.

Design Wall Monday

  Small Quilts and Doll Quilts Design Wall Monday and Monday Making

This will be my last one, even though I've not been doing well in making posts.

ONe of my design wall is off the wall, so no project on it.

  

I wanted this one done before I went on vacation, but I doubt it is going to happen.

So, it will be the first UFO in 2023.

Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!

2022 Monthly Challenges

Challenges for this year were not very successful.
It probably had to do with the stressful year 2022 has been.
I'm not going to be updating this anymore for 2022.
Maybe Next year will be better.

Wishing you a Sew Special Holiday Season.

Merry Christmas

 I've not been having a great year, so I've not been online much.

But, I have been sewing with a group of ladies and enjoy them so much.

They make my day bright, and I so enjoy sharing my quilting with them.

Merry Christmas to all!

Happy New Year.

Happy Thanksgiving

 

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

We have so much to be thankful for.

Little WRS is gaining weight.

All our family is healthy.

We have a feast planned for today with my son's in-laws and our immediate family.

We are finally getting much-needed rain.

I have such a wonderful group of quilting friends.

Have a blessed day and enjoy those around you.

Catching up

 This year seems to be the year where I say I need to do more quilting.

It is also the year when things are getting in the way of what I want to do.

I haven't posted much because life has been hectic.

I showed you the van that was rear-ended.

They ended up totaling the vehicle and my DD is still feeling the pain from the accident.

That meant running around and trying to find a car that would work for her and be safe for her to drive two hours a day for her internship.

There are very few used cars and we found out that some of them, the good ones, are just as expensive as a new car and don't come with warranties.

So, now she has a car payment, but she has a pretty new vehicle.

Then DS and DDIL had their baby at 37 weeks.

WRS (they don't want his name on the internet) was born 3 lbs 13 oz and 16.5 inches and is now at 4 lbs 10 oz.

He is adorable and has also been in the NICU for three weeks.

  

So, needless to say, life was turned upside down.

He is holding his own and beginning to gain a little weight.

So, if you are praying people, we would love for you to pray for W and his family.

I have begun to get back to normal, whatever that is.

I had a Lion's Club donation quilt that was due at the end of October.

I finished it just in time.

I'm teaching classes at the Cibolo Senior Center and we made a pumpkin table topper.

November we did a Turkey table topper that was Quilt as You go.

DD needed a shower gift.

I found this panel at Gromes Quilt Shop.

As it turns out the new Mother-to-be loves giraffes.

We didn't know that, but it all worked out.

I have a couple of memory quilts to get moving on.

This one is from a co-worker that passed away and his wife asked me to make her a quilt.

He was a youth pastor, so I thought this was appropriate.

There will be white around the edges and then I'll make it larger with borders from his shirts.

This is the quilt I've had on the design wall for a long time.

It is quilted and I'm binding it now.

It is a large quilt 98 x 108.

I made crayon rolls for the DS and DDIL baby shower and one of the people wanted me to make 20 crayon rolls for their son's kindergarten class.

I decided to get them done early so we can connect to get them to her.

So, I made more than 20 so she can pick the ones she wants.

There are girls, boys, and neutral crayon rolls for her to choose from.

I have made travel kleenex covers for DD's last days of her internship.

I'm putting the kleenex in them now, so I'll have photos later.

So, I've been getting busier and hoping to keep it that way.

I pray while I'm working, so it helps me focus on something other than my problems.

I have no idea how I did that.

It was the first pass. 

so sad, because I have to unstitch half the quilt.

This is going to take me days to do because of the design.😒

Stash Report 10/2/2022

 So much long-arm quilting happening.

  quilt paint create links to all our stash reports.

From My Carolina Home is doing a challenge on how much we use each month.

I increased how much I wanted to have as a net number for 2022.

	Used this Week:	3.00 yards
	Total Used year to Date: Donated fabric	247.77 yards 145.15 yards
	Net Stash used in September	34.06 yards
	Added this Week:	0.00 yards
	Added Year to Date:	54.75 yards
	New Goal:	250.00 yards
	Yards to the goal:	2.23 yards

I donated some fabric to the Senior Center, and the rest of my quilting time has been quilting charity quilts.

I had hoped to finish most of them, but I still have a few to go before I can start on my own things.

A couple of other fun facts are:

Prairie Moon is doing a 350-block challenge:

The challenge hasn't officially started, but I like to keep track

	Total Number of equivalent blocks:	674
	Perimeter in inches:	109547
	Numer of UFOs completed UFO Yardage Used	12 36.84
	Percentage of yardage used in UFOs:	28%
	Number of Bobbins Used this week:	3
	Number of Bobbins Used this year:	90
	Number of Spools Used this week: Number of Spools Used this year:	0 19

Kate at Life in Pieces is doing the challenge of 15 minutes of sewing.

Days of Stitching                                       97%

Number of Days this week                           6/7

Number of Days this year                    267/274

Days Organizing                                        99%

Number of Days this week                            7/7

Number of Days this year                      271/274

I am not doing lots of sewing daily, but I am sewing daily.

This week was more long-arm quilting charity quilts.

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.

 The pumpkin is my scrap use.

I didn't work with my scraps, except for organizing them and cutting for the senior center program.
