Not much to report again this week again. I took my daughter shopping and she bought a bunch of stuff. I didn't buy anything though. I almost caved when I was looking at the silk half yard pieces. They felt so good to touch. Then I remembered how much of a pain that silk is to sew from when I was making my own clothes. I loved to wear silk blouses. I hated to make them, though I did for a couple of years.
Check how others are doing on their stash at Judy L's Patchwork Times.

You were good to resist temptation in the fabric store! I know what you mean about sewing with silk -- it's a nightmare! I made my stepdaughter a silk underdress/slip for a sheer prom dress a few years ago, and I had to sew all the slippery seams with tissue paper for a stabiliser. I'm sure there's a better way to do it, but hopefully I won't need to know ! LOL :) Take care, Dianne B. in England
