Remember the prank call, "Is your refrigerator running?" Well, ours (new 2019) is not. I discovered that on Wednesday and promptly called the appliance store.

The backstory: I won a mystery kit in the guild raffle at the beginning of May. It had all the fabric including a layer cake and 4 yards for the backing. I chose to make a completely different block and setting. I used only the kit fabric for all of it.
I'm pleased with the way it turned out.
I use the serpentine stitch with the walking foot often.

I don't anticipate acquiring fabric today nor do I anticipate finishing anything, so here's the May stash report.
The short story: lots out and more in. Guild rafflemania, two estate sales, one rummage sale, and a Salvation Army bargain.
Fabric OUT, May: 240-7/8 yards
Fabric IN, May: 349 yards, $238.00. .68 (sixty-eight cents) per yard!
Fabric OUT, year to date: 540-7/8
Fabric IN, year to date: 929-1/2, $1193.00, $1.28 per yard
I have plans to increase that Fabric OUT category.....come back on Monday for my June goals.
Linking up with Finished or Not Friday and Off the Wall Friday
P.S. Peonies in our back yard. Just one poppy this year!
That is a cute quilt. I love triangles so it caught my eye right away.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed hearing all the names of the flora you saw!!! What a pretty kit finish, too. My mom had peonies but they do not grow here very well; I just love yours!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt rescue finish. When we thought our 15-year-old+ self-defrosting fridge/freezer was doomed as the freezer iced up horribly. We also turned it off, let it dry out for at least 3 days, and more importantly we pulled it away from the wall, gave the back grid a good dust-off, and ensured that the pipe that runs water (from who knows where) to help cool the condenser is clean and free-flowing. Works perfectly now. Glad about that as the newer fridges are not as big!
ReplyDeleteYou have many beautiful places to walk near you! The kit quilt is a great finish, too - those are neat blocks. Pretty peonies - enjoy!
ReplyDeletenice finish....no fabric in today? whadda are you on a diet....ROFL....gosh usually poppies take over the garden...maybe something is snacking on them?
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flowers! Your incoming and outgoing numbers are very, very impressive. I'm on a fabric diet for a while. I need to get a handle on what's in my stash and use a little of it up. I'm out of storage spaces. Happy stitching this weekend.
ReplyDeleteReally hope the refrigerator solution will work but it sounds rather iffy doesn't it. Kit Rescue turned out wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteNo report yet on the fridge???
