Stash Report #20

I finished my Aloha Shirt wall hanging on Saturday but haven't had a chance to post a picture.  I hope to get that done later today.  But I still get to count it in my out for this week.

Stash Report #18

This has been a good week with numbers moving in the right direction.  I really want to get my aloha shirts quilt finished and on the wall before our Luau on May 18th.  So that will be my focus this week.

In this week

A finish!

I am super happy with this twister quilt.

I used a layer cake of 

Aneela Hoey's A Walk in the Woods.

and the Jane Taylor twist ruler.

(purchased with a Joann's 50% coupon)

Finished the month after the baby was born.

Not too bad.

I saw a tutorial for a raw edge binding a few months ago.

However I can't remember where I saw it and google wasn't much help.

I had to do if from guess and memory.

That and not give the proper credit.

I cut 3 1/4 inch strips

folded in half for double sided binding.

Attached to the back as I would normally attach to the front.

(this is all the same as I normally would do my binding)

Folded it over and pinned the fabric down.

Clipped the raw edge as I would a rag quilt.

Washed and dried.

Love it!

However I am going to test with wider strips next time.

Stash Report #17

This has been a fun week.  I finished a dress for my niece.  I also quilted a baby quilt and have another one on my machine.  I hope to get them both finished next week.  That would really help my numbers move in the right direction.

Princess Sew Along Rapunzel

Thanks Angela of Cut to Pieces!

She designed such a cute Rapunzel.

I am hoping to use stash for all these dresses.

 This one I needed to purchase the strip fabric.

 I started cutting last night

and finished it today.

Over all I am happy with how it turned out.

 Now I just need to find a box

and get it and the book in the mail.

Stop by the Flickr group to see all the pretty dresses.

I can't wait to see the next dress.

Stash Report #16

I missed posting my stash report last week so this is 2 reports in one.

 

Last week I realized that I wanted to add a little more grey to my tumbler quilt that I am making from my FQS mystery scraps.  So I picked up the strip fabric for the binding and the grey to be cut into tumblers.  I think the rest of that grey will make a good binding fabric for a baby quilt I hope to finish this week.  The newest BOM for the FQS mystery BOM arrived.  It is so fun to get that each month.

 



 

I placed an order from fabric.com for a purple strip fabric to use for the sleeves of the next Princess dress (Rapunzel).  While I was there I ordered a few yards of some basics that where on sale.  I don't see the purple strip fabric at all.  What I do see is a cat in the hat fabric.  They where really nice and are letting me keep the Cat in the hat fabric and the correct fabric should be here Monday.

 

I spent Friday working on a dress for myself.  Since is it isn't finished it doesn't count as out yet.  I also basted 3 quilts that will help bring my numbers down once they are quilted and bound.  This week better be a getting things finished kind of week.

 

+ 2 yards - 2 1 yard cuts of Modern Vintage

+ .5 yards - FQS BOM

+ 5 yards - 5 1 yard of basics

+ .5 yards - Cat in the Hat fabric sent to me by mistake.

 

Year to date

+51.50 yards in

-30 yards out

+21.5 yards added for the year. Stop by Patchwork Times to see how everybody else is doing.
