Sunday Stash Report and Happy Easter!

Sunday, March 31, 2013

Packages have arrived at my house! 14 yards of wide backing fabric. I don't like to piece backings for large quilts, its much easier to use wide backing on them.

Stash In--14 yards
Stash Out--0 yards
Stash in YTD--49 yards
Stash Out YTD--17.5 yards

Stash is ahead--31.5 yards

I'm feeling quite good about my stash reports. Several finished tops waiting for me to quilt them. And the goal of "moving ONE UFO ONE step each month is working. Monday I will pick an April project. See everyone's stash report at Patchwork Times.

Wishing you a Happy Easter!

The wide backing is great for bigger quilts. I have noticed though that it isn't always as good a quality as the 45" fabrics. Actually pretty chintzy sometimes. I have so much fabric that I feel guilty when I don't piece backings and I think I'll get rid of a bunch of the old oranges, and maybe some more of that teal blue, on the back of Hailey's quilt. Those are colors I just don't use much of otherwise.

Happy Easter to you and Ken.; March 31, 2013 at 12:06 PM

belated Easter to you.

Thank you for the kind words for my kitty cats, I really do miss my helpers. No more "spandex" at this house. My last kitty is 15 and we barely take her in for grooms.
We have had a very rough new year here. I'm hoping for happier times. My daughter just came thru her 6 week post cancer surgery, first check up-- no cancer.; April 5, 2013 at 1:03 AM
