Sunday Stash Report – Week #13

This was a pretty good week for my stash.  I added three ½ yard pieces to enhance my batiks, and I finished up several projects.

Finishes first - because I just can’t wait to show you!  I have finished another of my UFO’s that needed to be quilted!  Here is my Blue Blossoms….

This is a pattern from Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville called Pineapple Blossoms.  I drove all the way to Alabama to take this class from Bonnie in May of last year with a couple of equally insane excited friends.   I got perhaps four blocks completed that day because I was having too much fun meeting and chatting with Bonnie!  She is the most down-to-earth and fun teacher I’ve ever met!  Once I got home, the quilt pieces sat for a while until I finally buckled down at a retreat last year and finished it up.  I was delighted when Joanne offered me a long-arm day so I could quilt it and finally call it a QUILT!!!

This quilt design is called Crepe Myrtle - it is a nice simple design with a lot of interest.

The fabric for the back and binding on this quilt came to about 5-1/2 yards.

Another finish - I posted HERE about my wonderful April Calendar quilt top.  Yes, I think it deserves another look-see, don’t you?  

I can’t get enough of it =^..^=   The top took approximately one yard of various fabrics to complete.  Since I won’t get it quilted until next week at retreat I’m not counting the backing or binding yardages yet.

Purchases –  Here are the fabrics I just had to bring home with me this week….

The two brownish/coppery batiks with the lines in them are really interesting because the back side looks like a different color fabric altogether.  

So I am actually getting four fabrics instead of two – which is great for appliqué and scrap quilts!

The pink is for this cute little Cottontail bunny tabletop quilt pattern that is only 14-1/2” square.  

It will be displayed on this table topper frame that I finally broke down and purchased this week as well.

All in all a fun week in the Ivory Tower, and good numbers to report.  I moved 5 yards closer to being in black numbers this week – yoohoo!!!
