UFO for April

I have been working on my Cinco De Mayo UFO for April.  It is a very slow, time consuming process.  I like the way it is coming out and love the bright colors!! I have this project on my UFO list twice because, silly me, I thought I could and would finish it in 2 months.  That isn't going to happen, I decided that since I already had it out and was on a roll I would switch what ever number was drawn for this months project.  Judy must has read my mind because  project number 2 IS my  Cinco de Mayo UFO.  So in May I will not only be celebrating Cinco de Mayo but I will be sewing on it.  Here is the first row that I have finished... only 5 more rows to go!

Design wall and stash report for April 30

I haven't had time to sew this week so my design wall is the same as it was last week and so is my stash report.  This is a busy time of year for us and I am not sure there will be any sewing this week either.  There will be sewing time soon but until then I will just look at what everyone else is doing.

Design Wall 4-23-2012

This week I got a binding on my color challenge quilt, but will wait unitl the end of the month to show you that picture.  I also finished another Cinco de Mayo block. I will be lucky to have 6 blocks finished this month ( the quilt has 36).  This maybe a UFO for several months  years.  I am glad I have it out and am working on it, I love how it is coming together.  Here are my latest 2 blocks.

Stash Report for week 17

This week I had to work  all week so I didn't get much sewing done.  The only thing I did was put a binding on my color challenge quilt and make another Cinco de Mayo block.  I only use 1/2 yard of fabric total.  I am pretty boring this week!

Week number- 17

Used this week- .5 yards

Used this year- 45 yards

Stash report week 16

This week I added the borders to my color challenge quilt and pieced the backing for the same quilt.  All total I used 4 yards from my stash.  My stash busting numbers are moving up there.  This afternoon I am going to catch up on my ironing while I watch the Rangers play baseball and then will start quilting the challenge quilt.  " Sew" long for now.

My design wall has the beginnings of my color challenge quilt.  I loved the colors and thought the molding of the pie was pretty cool ( as long as I didn't have to touch it or smell it)! I did get another Cinco De Mayo block finished but haven't taken a picture of it yet. 

I also got me March UFO back from the framer and wanted to show you the finished product.  It turned out well even if I didn't spent $700 having it framed.  I am off to walk with a good friend "sew" long for now. 

Stash Report week 15

This week I started working on my color challenge and have used 1.5 yards so far.  It is a quiet, cool and wet Easter Sunday here.  I am going to spend the afternoon sewing until it is time to watch the Rangers play ball, then I will work on quilt bindings and knit.     I thank God for all his blessings today and every day. !

Design Wall Monday 4-2-12

Today my design wall has 3 of the block from my April UFO.  My number 10 UFO in Judy at Patchwork times challenge is a paper piecing called Cinco de Mayo.   I made a 4th block yesterday and came to the conclusion that this may still be a UFO at the end of April.  The blocks are very time consuming.  I have 4 finished and 28 to go! They are beautiful but it may be a L-O-N-G  process.

stash Report for April 1

No foolin around this week.  I had my color challenge and my UFO both finished early and was able to go back and quilt my February UFO.  I used 3 yards this week in the backing and binding of this quilt.   I am busting my stash.  WooHoo!!!

Week number- 14

Used this week- 3yards

Used this year- 39 yards

Purchased this week- 0 yards

March Color Challenge

I knew my time in March was going to be limited so I went with something small, a table runner.  I did enjoy the color scheme and was able to use some triangles that I had cut off some star points on another quilt.  I think it turned out pretty cute.

With all Judy's posts about her chickens I could resist using this chicken fabric as my border.

I have my fabric for the April challenge already pulled and the pattern laid out ready to start.  "Sew" long for now.
