Friday check in: January report

 

"Smile for your fan club!" 


Sunshine and temperatures in the upper 30's and lower 40's were conducive to walking this week.  It was good to stretch my legs!






This is pack ice, covered in sand.



I saw four of the ornaments I hung along one of the paths in mid-December.  This one had a few remnants of its red paint.

I had a satisfying and productive month in the studio. 

The Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR) prompt this week was half-square triangles. I have a box of batik HSTs on hand so this was an easy step.  



The RSC pink Ohio Star quilt is finished.  







Earlier this month:  I quilted the 2024 guild round robin, made the Amelia flimsy for the "topalong" I've joined, and made/quilted Cat's Cradle. 





Blue is the RSC color for February.   I made the 8 nine patch blocks for my year-long RSC project.  



I found 10 blue hourglass blocks in the parts department and used eight of them for a placemat.




This latest placemat joined the others for a photo shoot.  20 so far!   


The Stash Report for January:

Fabric IN:   88-3/4 yards, $51.50, average .58 (fifty-eight cents) per yard.   I wasn't going to acquire any fabric this month but there were irresistible bargains.  The final episode of Barb M's estate sale, a great find at Salvation Army, a set of new cotton sheets at Treasure Hunt (the Amazon returns store) . . .

Fabric OUT:  95-1/2 yards.  That included yardage sent to other quiltmakers for their charity projects.  I also parted with a big stack of Heartstrings blocks and five (!!) flimsies. 

Net REDUCTION:   6-3/4 yards.

Linking up with Finished or Not Friday.
