Time for the August Check in for Stashbusters. Did you finish a project? Did you succumb to the freebie table at guild? Was a bit of retail therapy required during Shop Hop? Did you give away any yardage or scraps? I got a bit ahead this month as I finished Quadrille and can now count …

Stashbusters July Check In
Once again, it is time to check in and report how you are doing on reducing your stash. Did you finish a project? Did you succumb to the freebie table at guild? Was a bit of retail therapy required? For new readers, every month we check in on the first Friday of the month. The …
Stashbusters 2023 June Check In
It was a lean month for finishes for me again in May. Between car club events and family visiting, not much sewing was done. What I did do with the quilt on the frame had to be taken out and restarted which set me back a bit for a finish as well. I managed to …
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 …
Stashbusters April Check In
Time for our monthly check in for Stashbusters! Today, report your progress from the month of March. You can include this past week if you like, reporting from the first Friday to first Friday, or keep it within the month, your choice.

Day Retreat and Block Drive

Stashbusters March Check In

Stashbusters 2023
Time for our first check in for the new year! Today, report your fabric in and out for January. Every month we'll check in on the first Friday of the month. The goal is to have more out than in at the end of the year. No, you don't have to inventory your stash, just …
Books, Birds, Projects and More
Settle in for a long post about a lot going on, things to see and read, and projects where you can participate. Around the feeder we have a lot of pretty birds, and hungry birds! This week there has been a variety of avian friends chowing down on the seed and suet, including some newcomers. …
In The Garden, and Clearing Out
I am thinking about my garden again, and my plants in the Carolina room are doing well. I cut off the amaryllis leaves a few weeks ago and put it out in the cold. I brought it inside last week, hoping for another bloom this year. It didn't bloom last year, and if it doesn't …
