November 18, 2012 Stash Report

First, I bought and used 1 yard of fabric to recover my ironing board. I love it. Since the fabric was bought and ued on the same day I didn't count it in or out.

This QOV is going to Alycia.

It is from the Love of Quilting magazine Sept/Oct 2012, name of pattern is Stars and Stripes. I made the stripes using 1/2 square triangles, the pattern called for curved piecing of the stripes. I really like it. It is 66x80 before washing.

This next quilt is going to Sarah's Ministry.

I have some 1/4 yards of floral fabric, don't know why I bought them. Decided to try the zig zag pattern and the florals were perfect for it. I wanted to make it wider so added a zig zag to each side. I used a soft Kona yellow for the background. This quilt measures 63x68 before washing.

Stash Report 11-11-12

Fly Away by Bonnie Olaveson/Cotton Way is the pattern I used to make this quilt for my mother's caregiver, she celebrated her birthday this week. Measured about 64x75 before washing. The 360 geese took two days to make and trim. The pattern went together quickly after that. The colors remind me of the trees in our woods this fall.

Saturday was spent getting my handgun carry permit - it was an all day class and a birthday present from my son.

I only missed two questions on the written test.

I got 100% on the gun range,  only one shot veered into the 8 circle, the rest were in the red zone and the 9 circle. The only problem was that my gun kept jamming and the instructor  had to help me with it.
