UFO & Stash Report Sunday (WK 45)

Well My Box Has arrive from Connecting threads!  Below You will see fabrics from a couple different lines and some basic prints as well.  I am still waiting on the batting to come in the mail though.  I can't get started on these projects until after Thanksgiving, but I am so looking forward to it.  The fabrics are truly lovely, soft, sharp printing and a dream to sew with (known from past projects).

Here is my Stash Report through 11/04/2012*:

Used last Week:  0 yards
Used year to Date: 65 1/4 yards
Added last Week:  23 1/2 yards
Added Year to Date: 49 7/8 yards
Net Used for 2012: -13 5/8 yards

Thanks again for stopping by and you shall see me later!

*This is a rough estimate in the foggy haze of birth and all that.  I do remember getting a stash of fabric from some people moving out of my building in late April & my mother gave me fabric as well (some got passed on to others) but I had to guess at amounts.  I will be better about exact amounts from July onward.

UFO & Stash Report Sunday (Late)


The Traveling Stash box is a couple days on its way to Rachel over at Suz Made Me Do It!  I went back and forth quite a few times on what to take and add to the box.  My daughter is in love with the two pink prints so I decided to go that direction instead (wouldn't they be cute sun dresses?) of all the FQ's I was originally eyeing.  In the end it doesn't matter because I will be out of comission on sewing for the rest of the month as I have hurt my fingers/hand/wrist on my right hand and it needs a rest.  Thankfully I was born left-handed--although the school districts I grew up in made everyone be right-handed!  I am going to pull out my cross-stitch I started last year about this time while I was on bedrest.  I think I just might get this project finished by the end of the year.
What I took from the box; it took a while to figure out what I really wanted

Why I will not be sewing for the rest of the month
My only project I can work on with hand issues, lol.  Positive thing though I can get this done if its all I can do!!
Next week I will share the fabrics coming in from Connecting Threads for a couple quilts a friend wishes me to make!  Oh what beautiful Fabrics, I cannot wait til they all arrive!

Here is my Stash Report through 11/04/2012*:

Finishes 44: Getting things done...sort of...

Lucy over at Charm About You is hosting this week's TGIFF, so I thought I would put together a post of something.  I was so hoping I would get my Summersault Asterisk Quilt completed for Octoberfest, but on the upside is that I have something to share in this post!  I used a set of 6" Charms I purchased from Craftsy.com and used their (January Block) free Block of the Month Class.
