10/2/14.

My design wall or really bed does not look that much different than it did last week. I did tweak the arrangement and the rows are now all sewn together.

 

Goal for this week is to get the sashing made.

 

9/2/14.

Classes started back this week so of course some new fabric was bought. The good news is I also used some stash fabric. The light fabric is one of the new purchases. It was perfect for fussy cutting I am sure you will agree.

So to the stash report:-

Fabric in. 2 1/4 metres.

Fabric out. 1/4 metre.

Net position. 16 1/2 metres in the red.

 

Rather than close on this here is a gratuitous photo of Cleo.

 

My how I love her.

We have lived in this house for just over two years and I still have not got round to putting up a design wall. Lucky for me I was able to use the spare bed tonight.

I have pulled out a UFO to finish. It is to be a gift for a friend and the blocks have been made for over 12 months. She asked for a purple and grey quilt and that is what she is getting. Purple is my least favourite colour and perhaps that is why I have struggled so much with it.

I will tweak it a bit tomorrow but should be able to start sewing as well It does get sashing in between the rows.

Just like that January is done. A good month.

Last week some sewing was going on and nothing came in.

Fabric used this week. 1 1/4 metres

Fabric in.  Zero

Net position. 14/5 metres in the red. 

I have decided to get back to developing my skills as a baker. I am starting with some basics. Today's recipe was an Anzac slice.  Tasted good but I think it may have been in the oven a minute or two longer than necessary. Always something to learn. 

27/1.

A long weekend here in Austrakia. I thought I would get heaps of sewing done but several nana naps put paid to that idea.

I have made more blocks but here is what I have sewn together so far. It will be bright.

Head on over to Judy's to see what others have been up to.

A busy week but now a few days off work.

Fabric was bought this week to use as my neutral in my hexagon quilt. I have lots of star fabrics but my basics especially in yardage are lacking. Fabric buying this year will focus on remedying that.

To the report then.

Fabric used this week. 1 metre

Fabric in this week. 5 metres.

Net position. 15 .75 in the red.

This is the progress I have made so far on the hexagon quilt I purchased fabric for. Hopefully a lot more will be completed in the next two days.

 

14/1/14

A busy few days has kept me away from the blog so time for a little catch up.

First up some photo a day prompts.

8/1 was lucky number and mine has always been 6. It was also our number when we were bidding on this house.

 

9/1 the prompt was natural. I chose this home grown dahlia.

 

I then missed a couple of days. Yesterday the 13/1 the prompt was something that makes you smile. Cleo from the moment she came into my life has done just that.

 

The late stash report is not good. In my defence most of the fabric was ordered before Xmas but not received till last week. I love these shot cotton modern solids.

 

The report then:-

Fabric used this week. O

Fabric in this week. 12 metres

Net position. 11.75 metres in the red.

Oh well plenty of time to make a comeback.
