stashbusting report week 11

Nothing came in. Lucky me. Don't want to talk about the 4 envelopes that will come in probaly next week, but I didn't have any background fabric anymore.

Updates

Last month I forgot to take my monthly pic of Little red riding hood, so now it was really time to take one.Sorry I was to lazy to take of my q-snap for the pic. Only 8 pages to go.

This week I have been working on the march schnibbles and I have finished the top. I really loved this one very much. It is roundabout and it is made with Astor Manor and the background is from Winter. I hope to quilt it this week.

Thursdayafternoon I will go to my quiltretreat and now I have to go and think what to bring and I already have some good ideas what it will be.

stashreport week 10

Well don't really want to talk about this week as 2 envelopes have landed, 7.90 meter. What was in the envelopes, 3 meter of Whimsy yardage, a whimsy jellyroll and a bit of yardage from breath of avignon.
But the positive thing was that there also went a bit out for the schnibbles, 2.20 meter.

I won!!!

Got a letter today in the mail that I won a weekend trip of two nights to this hotel in Venray. Last weekend we went to the biking and walking expo in Amsterdam and my DH filled in a lot of cards for things to win including this hotel and my name was picked out of all the names. Lucky us. Now just have to see which weekend we can plan to go there. I have so many vacations from april till september that that is the hardest to do. Think it will be in July probaly.

I am busy with the march schnibble, it is roundabout and I am like Sherri using Astor Manor. Everything is cut, I only have to sew everything together.

Also busy cleaning the houseas saturday my family will come and visit and we will have a nice diner together for my DH his birthday.

Little red riding hood is growing, have to take a pic soon as I forgot my monthly pic for february.

Sunday Best

Well that was some last minute sewing, but I finished it on time. Curious to see tomorrow what will be the new pattern.

stashbustingreport

Bad bad week, but well I knew that. Hope it will come well soon. Probaly in the next two weeks.

A quiet birthday

Tomorrow I will have a very quiet birthday as I have to work all day and even will be a lot longer on my work for a meeting that will last till 9 pm with diner inclusive. Also it will be quiet as the past (5 or even more birthdays I always was involved in birthdayclubs from quilt or stitchinggroups and this year I am in none. I have to say I miss the envelope happiness that always arrived before my birthday. But it was my own choice to quit with all of the birthdaygroups and also other exchanges. The only one I will do every year is the sscs as I just love that one.
My vacation was great by the way, forgot to tell you. We had great weather and enough snow.
I am busy with the schnibbles of february "Sunday Best" and I am doing it with the "Eva"line from Moda and it is getting more beautifull. Hope to show a pic soon of the finished top.

Monthly Update

I almost forgot to take my monthly pic. So it is a few days later than a month ago. 3 pages finished and only 10 pages to go (if I counted right). I didn't have a lot of stitching time this month due to Christmas and other things happening around here.

Also a few people asked how I have quilted Sweet Escape so here a close up pic of a little part.

Now it is sewing time, tomorrow I am going to make a few cloths (well I hope I will make more than one thing). And tomorrow stashbustiong report, it is surely not a bad report.

Another finish

Yes I have been busy quilting and binding this quilt. I am so in love with the colors. It is made with 2 gobble gobble layer cakes and a bit of yardage. The patterns in Sweet Escape from Miss Rosie designs.

What is next I think a bit of sewing cloths.

quiltathon sunday and another finish

I am on a roll these days. I just finished the binding on the snowballs and ninpatches quilt. It is made from Nature's Chorus and the pattern from a book from which I don't know the name at the moment as it is my mother's book. Only 3 more quilts to quilt and than my pile of quilts to quilt is gone, than I need to get on with the quilts that waiting to be finished in to a top. Just have to decide from that pile which is first in line. From the to quilt pile Sweet Escape will win.

stashbusting week 3

This has been a great week for busting stash, but there also came some in, well more than there went out. A fatquarterbundle of Garden Party came in. When yardage arrives at the fatquartershop I will order a bit and from this collection and than I will make Summer Rental from Miss Rosie from this collection. It doesn't happen very often that I already know which quilt I will make from it, but this is one I knew immediately when I saw the collection. Still have two bundles to decide which quilt to make from.

Than about the fabric going out. Well backings and bindings for all 3 quilts I finished this week.

Fabric in this week: 9.10 meter

Fabric out this week: 4.50 meter

Fabric in 2010: 12.20 meter

I am sure I will be in the positive again next week as I have big plans.

Quiltathon

This weekend is the quiltathon and so I am very busy working on quilts. I have finished another one. It is the babyquilt in which I was working. I have added a few appliques, just ready ones and quilted it.

Also Jantine asked for closeups to see the quilting on Picnic and Madeline.

Next to work on is the mysterie designer BOM or quilting on sweet escape. You will see what I have choosen tomorrow. Also my stashbustingreport looks great tomorrow.

2 schnibbles finished

It were a busy two days. Monday I started quilting Picnic, but as I had a very short night as I had a call from my work that I was needed there sundaynight, I just wanted to go to bed early. Yesterday I finished the quilting on Picnic. I have done freestyle feathers on it and I have to say with the darker binding on it I like it a lot more.

Than today I had as a goal to quilt Madeline and bind it and so I did. I have done stars and kringles on it. I have to say love wuilting with the King Tut thread and also the quilting needles. Only on Picnic I had a lot of breakage of my needles as some points are a bit thick and the needle had big problems with it. Next to quilt is ninepatch and snowballs. Just a few flowers and than the binding can be put on, maybe it will be finished tomorrow (don't think so).

Only 5 more quilttops to quilt (snowballs and ninepatches, 40T, Sweet Escape, round robin and a babyquilt). Hope the batting will come soon that I have ordered.
