All-Purpose Post — Everything but the kitchen sink…

Sunday’s Stash Report:  Two Michael Miller Fairies Panels bought = 1.35 yards in.  One baby I Spy quilt kit given away = approximately 2 yards out. 

  • Used this week:  2 yards
  • YTD:  183.75 yards used
  • Purchased this week:  1.35 yards
  • YTD:  180.6 yards purchased
  • YTD :  3.15 yards of stash busted for the year (I know, that’s pathetic)
  • Monday’s Design Wall report:  Same quilt as last week (JudyL’s Frames quilt), patiently waiting for attention.  I am putting my Aunt Bert’s quilt on the longarm today, so finally some action in the sewing room!  Woo-hoo!!!  And those Fairies panels I bought?  They are going into a small decorative throw for my mom.  They are just adorable, and would make a super-easy, super-fun baby quilt with some bordering, as long as the baby’s a girl! 

    Weather Report:  I know, you didn’t ask, but I just want to tell you all how fabulous it is in Minnesota today, November 9th.  58 degrees and sunny.  It’s more like May.

    Places-to-Visit-on-the-Web Alert:  Remember the Minnesota Blog Hop earlier this year?  There’s a new one that started today with 12 quilt artists from across the country, each taking a turn sharing a project with us, the lucky readers.  Today Gudrun of GE Designs is featured.  Be sure to check out her cute quilt-as-you-go tutorial for the holidays, and leave her a comment (be sure to read and fulfill the requirements in your comment) to be entered in a drawing.  I’ll be listing each day’s featured artist on my blog, so feel free to stop by for the link.  Good luck!

    Family News:  DS#3′s big old van had a close encounter of the deer kind this weekend in Wisconsin, and he’s now a full-time pedestrian.  No injuries to the people involved.  Don’t ask about the venison deer…
