Sunday Stash – Feb. 25, ’18

Summer Envy is complete! Including label and binding!  The quilting was pretty quick – just an easy swirl. I used 6 ½ bobbins of thread and while watching 7 episodes of “When Calls the Heart” on Netflix.  Season 3 is now available in Canada.  And – just for the non-Canadians reading my blog who have watched this series: the Mounties (also called RCMP: Royal Canadian Mounted Police) do NOT wear their red serge outfits for normal work, only for special ceremonies.

The binding is the left-over trimmings from the back of “On Ringo Lake.”  It is a perfect match!  (Probably because it’s from the same fabric line! ~grin~ )

PHD in 2018 Update

On Ringo Lake and Summer Envy were both completed this week!  WhooHoo!!!  That makes for a total of 12 UFOs completed this year.  And 2 big quilts this week! (Yes, I did complete a retreat bag, but that was started this year, so it’s not a UFO and doesn’t count towards my PHD in 2018!)

Stash Report

• On Ringo Lake: Used 23 yards
• Retreat bag: 1.25 yards
• Summer Envy: Used 16 yards

I went shopping yesterday … just for some med-heavy weight interfacing.  I’m out and there’s a sale on.  Of course, I had to check what else is in the store and ended up buying 1 ½ yd of flannel for backing and ½ yd for accent.  This is for a baby quilt that I NEED to make.  I hope the baby is a girl, ’cause I bought pink.  If the baby turns out to be a boy, I will have to go shopping again, uh, shop my stash!
