Stashbusters May

Stashbuster report time! It wasn't a great month for finishes for me. With multiple visits to the ortho doc, and too much time sitting after injections, I got more reading done than anything. The good news is that missing the guild meeting and no shopping time meant no fabric in. I did finish the little …

Day Retreat and Block Drive

Last week our local guild had a sleep-at-home retreat at a conference center in Flat Rock. We have the use of the room with a full kitchen for three days, so we can haul everything there on Tuesday, and leave it overnight both nights. So projects can be started and left as they progress, to …

Making Plans, Stashbusters, and Clearing Out

Every year in January I make some time to clean out something. This year it seems like so much more than ever before can just go. After the year of lockdown in 2020, and tentatively venturing out in 2021, this past year has seen more activity, but still not the way it was before covid. …

Stashbusters – Final 2022

Today is the final check in for Stashbusters, reporting your December monthly totals and the final year to date. December was busy with holiday fun, so I didn't get a lot of sewing completions done. I did finish the Christmas Quilt. I was able to use not only a panel brought into the stash in …
