Time for Stashbusters check in! Have you had a good month of sewing in August? I did pretty good this month with my Quilted Jacket project and two small quilts. For Fabric In, I did well, only coming home with three fat quarters from a guild game. But I also donated three fat quarters to …

Quilted Jacket Sew Along – Extras!
The jacket was done, and I just could not bring myself to throw away the bits left over from the pattern cutting step. This doesn't look like much, but I just had to figure out something to do with these. Settle in for a long and picture heavy post as I finish everything left. Now, …
Stashbusters – August Check In
Time to check in for our Stashbuster Challenge! Once again, I had to add fabric, but that is OK. We all have to do that from time to time, and we have to keep the fabric shops in business. I did manage to get more 'out' than 'in' this time. For fabric in, I got …
Stashbusters July Check In
Another month has gone by, and we are halfway through the year of using up some of our stashes. Did you do well this past month? I had a momentary lapse, but did get a little bit done. I picked up my Dahlia quilt from Asheville Cotton's charity show, and took the opportunity to spend …
Stashbusters June Check In
How'd you do last month? I was back on track during the month of May, with more sewing time after the show was over. I finished up a small quilt from the leftover blocks from our Safelight Quilts project. I quilted it with a pantograph called Geisha in white cotton thread so it would be …
Stashbusters May Check In
How'd you do last month? I did a bit better with quilt finishes, but I had to take two big pieces of wide backing fabric offered from a friend for free. With the Quilts of Valor that I do, I need wide backs as much as possible. These pieces will go with anything as they …
Stashbusters April
Time to check in! I almost delayed this a week as today is April Fools, but it is the first Friday, so here we go. This month, my totals went in the right direction again, but not a lot out. But, remember, it is the total at the end of the year that counts. After …
Stashbusters Challenge March
Time to check in! Whether you've been with us from January's post, or you are just starting today, all are welcome. We'll post our totals for the previous month or weeks on the first Friday of each month. You can use a calendar month, or count from first Friday to first Friday no matter how …
Finishing the Guild Challenge Quilt
This weekend, the guild challenge quilt was finished, just in time to turn in this week. I got a little creative with the quilting instead of doing my usual pantograph. Our longarm association is going to do a series of programs for custom designs, and I got a little charged up to do some. So, …
Sewing and Stamping
What fun we had yesterday, sewing and chatting on Zoom. Thank you to all who were able to come. I really needed some quilty fun and I enjoyed the day a lot. I got a fair amount done, too. I removed sleeves from two quilts, and made a permanent sleeve for my Twinkle Twinkle Pumpkin …
