This week I did not buy any fabric. And I even went to a fabric store yesterday! The only thing I bought was a pattern for a quilt with chickens on it. I love going to that store, though (Sands Fabrics in Pampa). There are always some beautiful quilts hanging there to see…some pretty longarm eye candy, too.
I have used one yard from my stash for the memorial quilt. I now have the top together, except for the outside border.
I used 1.5 yds this week making those little jewelry/notions bags I blogged about in the previous post. I made these two today.
So zero yards added this week, and 2.5 yards busted. Year to date:
- Incoming 83 yards
- Outgoing 95.25 yards
- Total busted 11.25 yards
I’m still going in the right direction! I’m determined to end this year with a positive total. My fabric is falling off the shelves in my closet.
I finished the repair work on my storm at sea binding, and am back to stitching. That will be a 2008 finish before long. I just piddled around, back and forth, between projects today. My seasonal allergies are in full bloom today. I couldn’t get far from a kleenex today. I broke down and started back on the prescription nasal spray today. I also made these sand tarts today:
Did you get to do something you love today? I hope so! I’m looking forward to another day off from my day job tomorrow. Enjoy your labor day!
I got the body of my Cornerstones of my Life quilt done and some serious porch time. I will post the quilt on my blog tomorrow.

I’ve never heard of sand tarts either. I like the bags and the memory quilt is turning out nice.

I’ve been in the kitchen a lot too! Cooking up tomatoes for sauce and grating and freezing zucchini (also baked a batch of zucch muffins). Roasted some cherry tomatoes last night for a new recipe from Rachel Ray–yum! Care to share the recipe for those yummy-looking tarts?? They look delicious!
