Worldwide Quilting Day
The third Saturday in March is Worldwide Quilting Day, and our local guild always celebrates it with a challenge show. Our members are given a challenge theme and purchase a fat quarter of the challenge fabric we have to use. This year, the challenge was "Looking Out My Back Door", and we were admonished not …
Stashbusters and New Year’s Eve
Time for the last Stashbusters check in, the final count of how much came in and went out for December and the 2025 year. I did OK for the year, finishing with more out than in. December ended with more in than out. I bought with half a yard of this fabric, so I could …
Stashbusters December Check In
With the holidays upon us, it should be a great time for fabric out. Did you finish some projects last month? Perhaps gave some fabric away? Anything that left your sewing room for good counts. For Fabric Out, I finished the Garden Panel Quilt and delivered it to the committee at the November meeting. Total …
Stashbusters November
It's check in time! Can you believe that another month has gone by? Only two more check-ins left before the end of the year for our Stashbuster challenge!

Stashbusters June Check In
Are you keeping up with your Stashbusting efforts? I must admit, having some free days to sew has produced a lot of little things for the upcoming sales, but not a lot of fabric out. This past month I have 1/2-yard in from the last guild meeting. I was lucky to be standing in the …
