Featherstone Quiltworks

Nothing bought this week (I’m feeling the glow under the weight of my halo), but nothing taken out of stash either (okay, there’s a little tarnish on the halo).  I’ve been busy working on UFOs.  Having finished CrazyMomQuilts‘ 9-patch quilt-along this week — well, the top is finished / the quilting awaits — and working on Judy L’s last Quilt For an Hour (QFAH) from last fall, I’m sewing, but no stash is being busted. 

And like everybody else, I just don’t have enough projects to work on, so I plan to jump in on Judy L’s next QFAH (which starts tomorrow).  This will be especially fun because my Aunt Bert, who just started quilting this summer, plans to do this one as well.  Hundreds of miles apart, and we can be quilting together!  How fun is that???

Well, time to go down into the stash and figure out what I can use to get started on Judy’s QFAH (I have a bucket of bright FQs I think I will tap into).  It really makes it a challenge, when you’re just working from stash.  Three other quilts I’ve made along with Judy, and they’ve turned out quite nicely, just using up some of that fabric that was waiting patiently on my shelves:

If you’re on the fence about joining in this next QFAH, hop off the fence and come on over to the fun side!  Judy’s quilts are great stash busters, and she’s so generous to offer a free pattern along with the encouragement to get it done.  I always tell myself I can find an hour a day for another project (as long as I don’t break a wrist like I did last November), and it’s fun to watch everyone’s projects develop along with your own.  C’mon along!!!
