Silver Needle - Stash Enhancement

Postman arrived this morning bearing gifts. A new cookbook, a present for Little Miss T. and some needlecraft goodies from the Silver Needle.

Two new Quaker patterns: a large one and a spectacle case that I will finish into a needle book. Fabric for the needle book and a companion to a pair of scissors I bought last year. And a nice set of Quaker measurement cards - for a quick look where to start stitching on the fabric. Our Shepherd's Bush charms and the 2008 JCS ornament issue are still in backorder.

On This Day...

On this day a moment of reflection. Dear G., please pay attention. You have joint responsibility, accountability, even 'guilt' in this...

I have SIX (!!!) quilt tops in various stages of production/ design. And I only started quilting a little over a year ago.

The Six:
1. Triangle Traktatie: 15 blocks so far, the odd 80 left to do.
2. Cool Diamonds by Kaffe Fassett: bought the fabric
3. My version of the Red Courthouse Steps by Kaffe Fassett: need to bring the number of fatquarters I bought down to the number required...
4. Circle In The Square: got the fabric, finished 4 - haven't decided on number of blocks yet.
5. Quilt As I Go Logcabin: finished 14 of the 42 blocks.
6. Japanese Quilt: got the fabric. Decided on the design.

But I managed to finish ONE! And will hopefully finish another in the near future.

Dear G., as I will be on holiday when the workshop calendar is posted of the Autumn season, you have the burden of ensuring I do not start another quilt top before I finish at least TWO. So pick whichever workshop you like and I'll join (and pray the result will not be larger than a cushion).

I am hesitant to use the words... UFO's and stash...

PS. I just realised... I have 7... my Mystery Belgian Quilt.
