Linking up with Quiltpaintcreate for the stash report this week.
Since I'm on a fabric diet, it seems I've switched my focus to patterns. When we were in Texas last month, I picked up a few for my collection.
I'm playing with ideas for a new quilt for my bed. Urban Cabin is in contention for that project. The Tulip Fields jumped in my basket I think because we'd seen the tulip farm the day before. It would be a fun scrappy project for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I haven't started many new quilts the last few years as the UFO list really needs to be a bit shorter, but I'm hoping that happens this year and I can play with several new projects next year. Keeping up with my daily stitching time will help get me there. How successful were you at finding time to stitch this week?

It's OK to start a new project if it is going to help reduce the stash ... at least that's MY justification!
ReplyDeleteUrban Cabin is the pattern I used with the cat fabrics last year. Once everything is cut, it goes together fast. The other patterns are nice too. I don't think Crabapple Hill has ever put out a pattern I didn't like.
ReplyDeleteI like the Urban Cabin also, but not til I finish a few more UFOs.
ReplyDeleteThose all look like fun! A nice variety of designs, too! Enjoy your Sunday, Kate.
ReplyDeleteI did quite a bit of sewing this week, and a lot of knitting too! All around a good week.
ReplyDeleteI have the Boho and Urban patterns. Love your new banner, too.
ReplyDeletePretty patterns. I always tell Mike, even if I never make it, I still feel better having it in my collection.
ReplyDeleteOnly thing worse than preparing taxes is paying taxes. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm with you in stash busting so we can start NEW projects next year...this month I will have my fifth stash project completed! Yeah. Though I don't keep count....but I know the fat quarters in my stash are dwindling and I love it!! Snow! Such crazy weather this year....well enjoy your day of R and R sewing. :)
I like your patterns, especially the tulips. It looks like your kind of pattern. Good lucky with your taxes, especially the OK. I think that one was harder than the Fed, at least the Non-resident was.
ReplyDeleteHa I am the same as you, on a fabric diet so I keep buying books and patterns. I have liked Urban Cabins for years so I would love to see that one made.
ReplyDeleteAll three are fabulous; I'd have a hard time deciding and just make all of 'em, ha! I do like Urban Cabin, though, maybe because of the colour palette?! Snow? Aren't you south of me, up here on Lake Erie? No snow, lots of sun today but a biting wind and temps around 3C which is 37/38F...way below normal for us too!
ReplyDeleteThat cracks me up. I tend to buy threads and things for crazy quilting. LOL
ReplyDeleteUgh, I have to finish my taxes this week - no rush as we are paying this year, so I have to rally to get it done! Great patterns that you added!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great on all fronts. I stitched every day last week and it was rewarding.
ReplyDeleteI love the patterns you selected in Texas. Have fun dreaming about making them. I do.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your vintage dress pattern? I might want to make it.
