Finished Table Runner!

Now that the swap package has been received, I can show you all the spring table runner I made for my friend and swap partner Ele!  I used a pattern called Sugar Cookies from the Moda Bake Shop.  It was quite easy and I love how it turned out :)

Racing on the Chesapeake Bay!

Last night was the first night of the Annapolis Yacht Club’s Wednesday Night Race series and this year the Woodwinds are racing on Wednesday nights as well……

So we, the office staff, headed out on one of the boats to experience the racing!

It was quite the exciting night….complete with a pop up squall and the boat I was on, Woodwind II, beating Woodwind!

Here’s some of the pictures I took of the other boat as well as the Annapolis skyline at sunset.

Well this was another pretty good week in the world of stashbusting!  I finished a table runner and am able to deduct the backing and binding from the stash as well as the sashing and cornerstone fabric for a quilt top I’m working on.  I do have a bit of an addition to the stash as well, I was gifted some lovely fabrics in a swap package from a friend.  Even with the addition to the stash I’m still ahead in the totals for the week…..YAY me!

Here's this week's report:

Fabric added this week: 2.5 yards
Fabric added year to date: 32 yards
Fabric used this week: 4 yards
Fabric used year to date: 55.5 yards

Stash Report: Week 15

Charm SquaresThis was my first 5 day work week since October and it was very long!  That didn’t leave very much time for quilting, but I did manage to bust a little stash.  I cut out and started sewing a table runner for a swap and all the blocks are done, now I just have to finish assembling the runner, then quilt and bind it.  I’m hoping to have it on the frame tonight.  I do need to get it in the mail ASAP….

So without further ado….

Here's this week's report:

Fabric added this week: 0 yards
Fabric added year to date: 29.5 yards
Fabric used this week: 2.5 yards
Fabric used year to date: 51.5 yards

YTD Net fabric busted: 22 yards

Here's this week's report:

Fabric added this week: 15 yards
Fabric added year to date: 29.5 yards
