Stash Yard Count... Continues

Last week I posted the one block of the quilt for a friend's wedding. The top is now done, and I am needing to get it on the frame so I can tie it, hopefully Monday when I am off for President's day.
Stash: - 5 yds for the top, 6 yds for the back, and 6 yds for my flannel as batting
Total: -17 yds

I also was asked to make a quilt for a friend of a friend, someone my husband hung out with in high school. He has non-Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer, and they are having a benefit for him in April. I absolutely said yes, and have started to cut my squares for the first idea I have. (there is a good chance I will make at least 2) My current plan is alternating hourglass blocks and regular squares. Once I actually figure out how much fabric I use, I'll update the stash again. Plan 2/B is making something hunting related, the guys that will be at the benefit are HUGE hunters, so that would probably go over well.

Project Updates

The first of 30 blocks. A friend is getting married in April, and this will be his gift.

And this is a top I'm thinking about listing on etsy.

Completed Etsy Order

Yay! It's all done, and ready to ship.

Order Pillowcases

Just another yardage update: 2 more used, I have the pillowcases just about done for etsy. I need to add buttons to the ends, she wanted them to have some kind of closure.

Less in the stash- again

Used another 3 yards today making little blankets for the boys. I had picked up Thomas the Train panels and my older son said he wanted me to make a blanket today. He's cute like that :)

New pillowcase pattern

I needed to try out the pattern I found for my etsy order. I really like it, and it looks harder than it was.


New stash update: -1 yard for the pillowcase
-9 yards, or about that, for the border and back of the trip around the world quilt that is now on my frame. I started to tie it this afternoon.

Stash Yard Count...

Well, I'm not going in the direction I want to be for my yard count. I have used about 8 yards in the quilt I'm making for my etsy order, and will add another 3 to that tomorrow when I cut my borders. And 6-7 for the back. So that's good, and almost makes up for the 14 yards I got the other day. What can I say, I had a filled punch card worth $20 and it was on sale.

Pictures probably tomorrow, I got the main part of my trip around the world for etsy done today, cut and add borders and get it on the frame to tie it. My hubby saw it today and asked if she wanted the colors (hot pink, black, and white). Not exactly manly colors I guess. Have to figure out my pillowcases on it too.

Added to stash: 14
Used: 8 for now
