At February's meeting of the London Friendship Quilter's guild, we will be handing in our purple nine patches for the 9 patch swap mystery quilt. I have mine done early this month! I have to make 72 HST blocks as well sometime this month...those are still on my list.
I also made pillowcases for two cousins...The narrow band on each pillowcase is fabric that belonged to my grandmother. When she died, I was given a suitcase full of material that belonged to her. I have used much of it to make pillowcases for all her great and great, great grandchildren.
There is a new baby in the family too so he will be receiving a fabric book and a pillowcase. The turquoise fabric belonged to Grandma.
Another cousin and his wife will be having a new baby any day now. I made another quilted book for this baby.
I am getting closer to being able to start a new project. The long arm quilter called tonight and the Outhouse quilt is done and ready for me to pick up. I will be working on binding tomorrow night so that I can give it to its new owner this weekend.
Next up, a couple of quilt backings need to be pieced.
My weekly stash report: I used 4.25 yards this week for a total of 14.25 yards used this year. I have purchased 8 yards of fabric this year. That means, my stash has been reduced by 6.25 yards of fabric in 2013.
Yippee for using the stash! Your soft books look like a perfect gift for the little ones ~
