Back from a fabulous trip to New York. The Broadway show was one to see if you happen to get the chance "Kinky Boots". It definitely deserves the Tony Awards it received earlier this year. We even got a glimpse of Cindi Lauper!
I did purchase some fabric on Tuesday before setting out to New York. Olde Towne Stitchery had some fabrics that I felt would be good additions to my stash. The fabrics on the left are perfect for Buggy Barn designs. The other two have no particular purpose except that I'm not in the best shape with either of these colors should I be searching around for them.
For this week here's my stats....
Used this week: 0 yards
Used YTD: 302.75 yards
Purchased this week: 5 yards
Purchased YTD: 98.25 yards
Net Fabric Used in 2013: 204.5
Not much time for sewing except after everyone goes to bed. I have about half of my red string blocks made. Hope to get more done when I get back from New York. Excited to have some sister time! Wish the rain would go away....no way it will dampen our trip!
Happy 50th Birthday Karen! Kandle Kounting is a Buggy Barn design that I had lots of fun making. I used the fabric line by them from Moda called Angel's Among Us.
The family had a blast celebrating both of our birthdays on Saturday at Matsutake Steak House. There were 13 of us sitting around two hibachi tables watching the chefs prepare our meals. Karen was dumbfounded with the birthday gift my parents gave us...transportation, lodging, sightseeing, and a Broadway show in New York. We head out for the big excursion on Friday morning at 4:45 am. So excited!!!
After wishing my sister a Happy 50th this morning I got into my Mom's red stash. I've got about 15 of the 60 string blocks together. Once they are all together I'll get busy on the 9-patches that will be red/neutral. I'm planning on making Talkin Turkey! a design by Bonnie Hunter that can be found in her String Fling book. I suspect that I won't get to the 9-patches until I get back home. This project is part of a swap that I'm doing with eleven others. You'll see more on this swap in days ahead.
Hope your week is a great one. See other great quilting projects through the links at Patchwork Times.
