This week I’ve been tidying a corner of my sewing room. Half of my ironing board is free and available for use! And I’ve been quilting a quilt that needs to be finished for the guild quilt show in 2 weeks. I’ve got the main blocks and the border done. Just have to fill in the background. Still not sure if I’m going to do feathers or swirls. Here’s a picture before I quilted borders and did the binding:
This week I did not buy any fabric! YEAH!!! I also didn’t enter through a door of any fabric store. That sure helps me to not buy fabric. And, since I rarely buy fabric on-line, I just don’t go shopping there. It’s a good thing, because I’m sure I would be very tempted by some of Missouri Star Quilt’s daily deals! And, I was at a work bee to get some stuff ready for the guild show and I donated 2 yards of fabric to the cause. So, I’m counting that in.
Stash Tally

UFO tally
No UFO’s finished so far this month. I’m sort of feeling a little foolish reporting my UFOs as I’m not getting many done this year. But, I’m going to stick with it and hopefully I can start adding some UFO finishes.
I started the year with 38 UFO’s.
2017 Completed
Jan: 2
Feb: 0

What a great setting for sampler blocks! Nice colorway, too.

I’m not getting much done in the UFO area either, also trying to use up the stash….it just goes on forever.

Your quilt is so pretty. That’s going to be a great finish. I too am working on my UFOs. I think maybe I should list mine and keep track of them like you do. So far, I am averaging one a month, but I have twice as many as you do to start with. So I guess that means I need to finish 2 each month, huh? lol

Working on my stash also. I did not shop online or at our fabric stores in town. Good for us. I’m really trying.

IT is always a good day when you have half or more of your ironing board available 🙂
Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!

Good luck with the UFOs. I don’t have mine all tallied, but maybe next year. I do the APQresolution and do one a month. It has worked pretty well for me! Fearful of the yardage count you do, but do admire your persistence in getting the numbers lower!
