WIP Wednesday – 1/21/2015

WIP Wednesday at Freshly PiecedGetting it done – one piece at a time…

Scrapitude  – I finished the first clue and the next clue is set to be released on Feb. 10, 2015.  That gives me 3 weeks to work on finishing my Flowers and Baskets quilt.  And since I feel the need to know what’s next on my list (to keep me motivated), I’ll be working on Tell It To The Stars after that.  I’m excited and I feel like I’m actually finishing things.

Flowers and Baskets – I’ve got one side of the purple border quilted.  Only three more sides to go and then I can bind it.  I do not know if I’ve got binding fabric set aside for this project so I’ll have to go through my drawers to see if I have it stashed away.  I am planning on going to Road to CA this coming weekend.  I’ve got a few fabrics I’m looking for, some items to use in bag making, block loc rulers and if I need binding… well, I’d like to find it there while I’m spending money.

I feel like the year is taking off on a great quilty start!

What is on your WIP Wednesday?

Stash Report – Week 3, 2015

Table Runner and Place Mats 1/12/2015

I managed to stay away from the LQS this week and not add any thing to stash!  So Zero added.  I finished the table runners after I posted my stash report last Sunday so I’m including the used numbers here.  7 yards used!  woohoo!

I’m almost done with the first clue of Scrapitude and I’m hoping it will be done today.  There’s not a lot to do but I took a few naps during the day between errands and outings and other family responsibilities yesterday that I didn’t get as much done as I could have. Once that is done, I’ll be quilting Flowers and Baskets and my hope is to get all the gold/yellow parts quilted.  Monday is a holiday so while I have to answer phones for one of my clients, I’ll be sitting at home in front of my sewing machine and the phone next to me on my desk.

Next week is Road to California but I’m not sure if I’ll be going.  It depends on my mood and my pocketbook. 🙂

Used this week: 7 yards
Used year to Date: 7 yards
