Despite having been a busy week, I did manage to get into the sewing room all 7 days this week. That brings me to 22 out of my 200 day goal for the year. I am following along with Kate over at Life in Pieces.
I was able to reassess where I was on Bricks in the Barnyard by Bonnie Hunter. I had all of the pieces made for the original quilt size in her book, but then remembered I wanted it larger. I'm a tall gal, so I prefer to make my quilts long enough for me. (Just in case I love the quilt so much I keep it!) That will require about 1/3 more blocks. I spent the week cutting them out and beginning the piecing. I was doing pretty well, until I pressed all of the seams for one unit the wrong direction. Oops! I have to press them all again before I can move on.
I paused on the making of the Bionic Gear Bags for my Mom and Sister. I decided I didn't like the zippers I had for the outside. I really want a purse zipper with two larger pulls. They will just make these bags a little nicer to use. I have one, but the color isn't quite right. I've ordered new ones, and they should be here this week.
Although none of these projects are complete, I am encouraged by the amount of progress I made. I did have to buy the zippers, but I have been able to use what I already have for the rest of it. Still, I have an addition for the week. Our guild celebrated our 1st birthday. One of our members made these cute fabric cupcakes for everyone. So, I have the 1/4 yard addition.
I'm staying accountable by reporting in with Patchwork Times. So my numbers for the week are:
Used This Week: 0.00 yards
Acquired This Week: 0.25 yards
Used Year To Date: 10.92 yards
Acquired Year To Date: 0.25 yards
Net Destashed Year To Date: 10.67 yards
Blessings to all,
Joy :)
