Happy Thanksgiving!

I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.  I hope that you all had a great day and will stay safe in the Black Friday Rush.  I'm not participating in Black Friday that I know of.  We typically stay home and I sew and hubby works on what ever.  One of us has to go out though as we have to take his brother in to work.  Maybe I'll do it and stop at Joannes for the sales in the morning.  Just a thought.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

Stash Report 11/24/13

I did some sewing this week but have not finished anything so nothing to count this week.  I did visit a beautiful quilt show in Old Forge, NY at Vue.  It was a nice drive up but not a nice drive home as it started to snow.  I drove home in white out conditions almost all the way.  Add high winds to it and I was amazed that we didn't see more accidents.  My friends Lisa and Linda went with me and were glad that I drove as I have an all wheel drive vehicle.  It was definitely needed yesterday.  Winter has arrived to Upstate NY as I woke up to 4 inches of snow.  Time to find my gloves.

Added Year to Date:                 13 yards

I just corrected my count as I apparently can't seem to do subtraction in my head for the past few weeks.  Soon I hope to be positive in the used column.

Stash Report 11/17/13

I finished a small wall hanging that I started many years ago.  What is funny is I had quilted it and put the binding on and never hand stitched it down.  I'm not sure why now.  But it is finished.  I think that it may need some more quilting but it is a wall hanging and one of the first things I quilted.

Stash Report 11/10/13

I remembered that I wanted to take part in the stash report!  I wish that I had more to report than I went and bought 10 yards of muslin to make dolls with for one of the local hospitals.  One of our sister guilds makes dolls and gives them to the children's hospital.  They were doing 100 every 3-4 months.  Now the hospital wants 100 a month.  This group can't keep up so they put the call out to some other guilds.  I volunteered to make a few.  I bought some template plastic so I can trace the pattern and just cut a bunch out at once.  I just need to make some up and get them delivered to the other guild.  Hubby and I decided that I should try to do 10 - 12 a month.  We figure at some point it could very well be one of our grandchildren there.  He will help by stuffing them and putting their hospital gown on them.  I'm glad he doesn't  mind me sewing to help others.
