I also got a lot done on my latest Blue Winter Wonderland block.... just a few snowflakes left to finish this one up. Lots to go before this quilt will be finished though :*)
I always so enjoy the gentle pace of hand stitching and look forward to my time with needle and thread :*) I'll be linking up with Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching linky party, so be sure to go over and see what others are slowly stitching up!
I can't wait to get home (driving all day tomorrow!) and get busy on some really fun projects going on! Bonnie posted the first Easy Street clue Friday and all I could do was LOOK!!! I am just itching to chop up some 2" strips with my new die cutter and get busy making those cute little 4 patches!!! And Jenny at Sew Kind of Wonderful posted the newest Curve It Up QAL block - a curved rail fence - sweet!!!! Look for some fun project posts SOON! =^..^=
However, my week was not all spent in traveling, visiting family, cooking, and eating lots of this...
 |
| Yes indeedy - that's a 24 pounder!!!! Just before he went in for his last browning :*) |
I also managed to enhance the stash quite nicely!!!!
 |
| Some of these luscious lime/apple greens will be added to my Easy Street stash! |
 |
| Love these aquas!!! These will not only be used on Easy Street but also on my aqua Jamestown Landing (someday!) |
 |
| This yummy aqua batik was only $7 a yard so I had to bring home some of it - wouldn't you???? |
 |
| This is the gray I decided to use for Easy Street - I like it much better than the one I had in my stash. |
 |
| Two more fat quarters for Easy Street! |
 |
| I'm hoping this happy orange polka dot will work with my Curve It Up QAL fabrics |
 |
| There are always so many batiks to choose from at Mary Jo's, but these had to come home with me! I love the rich blues and I'm thinking they will work well with my Butterflies quilt. This picture does not do the multi-colored one on top justice - the picture below is better.... |
 |
| This is a better shot of the multi-colored blue/purple batik - WOW!!! It is a gorgeous piece of fabric! So the Stash Report for this week is....... |

ReplyDeleteOh a girl of my heart....I am a turquoise kinda girl too. Is it possible to make too many quilts with that being the main color????? Love all your stash enhancements! Love the snowman angel too!
