We took our company to the airport very early Thursday morning. When we returned home DH had to set up to play for a lunch-time pot luck party, and I started to do laundry. We went to bed early and slept almost 12 hours!
This week, 2 of my local shops had sales, and I had a gift card for one, so I picked up some fabric to complete a 1 block wonder quilt. I found the fabric for it a couple of years ago, and once I had the block halves stitched, I had to decide on a layout, so I could get the rest of the fabric for the top. I'll wait to assemble it until we return north, as I don't have a design wall here.
Yesterday we headed to my favourite shop, and waded our way through all the quilters. I picked up some background fabrics, several red fat quarters, that I'll use for the half-square triangle blocks needed to complete the top, and a turquoise and gold swirly fabric, "just because".
Today I'm washing fabric, and I have a quilt backing to piece. We only have 1 1/2 weeks until we'll be heading north again. I hope to get some quilting completed this week.
We did an inventory of meat remaining in our freezer, and made a meal plan for the rest of our time here. We stocked up on veggies yesterday, and I have to do some prep on a dish to take to friends' home on Tuesday. We should come out about even as long as we don't get too many more invitations.......

You've done a good job of stash busting this year already. Good luck finishing off your quilt project.
ReplyDeleteGood work to be at 59 yards already. I haven't tried a OBW.
