Stash Report and Stitching Time 6/9/2024

My stash report for the past week covers a variety of projects, as is typical for me. That includes my Bite-Size Gems project from a recent workshop, plus my scrappy blue Rail Fence Spinners blocks, which were shared in yesterday's post. I also finished two new blocks for Sewcialites 2, our quilt guild's block of the month for this year.

I've been making the Sewcialites 2 blocks in three different sizes each month. These are 9" blocks, and I still need to make the 3" and 6" versions. I think I will simplify the 3" butterfly block, and I'm going to come up with a different block pattern for the 6" set. I'm using Christmas fabrics for those, and in my mind, a butterfly just doesn't fit with that group.

My total for fabric used this week came to 1.5 yards. I just received my order from a Memorial Day sale, but haven't totaled up the additions to the stash yet. That will be included in the count next week.

Kate's 15 Minutes to Stitch Challenge at Life in Pieces has us tracking how many days each week we get in at least 15 minutes of quilting time. It was a busy quilting week, with one new project started plus continued work on ongoing projects. I also went to one quilt museum exhibit and one quilt show (more on those later.) It was an excellent quilty week!
