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.
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.

ReplyDeleteI continue to be amazed at how productive you are and how quickly you make a quilt top. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI also continue to admire the bright stars (Amelia?) and the Cat's Cradle tops.
Great accomplishments on all your quilting. I am particularly impressed with your SAHRR. The colors really caught my attention. I am truly impressed with your walking. I know I should, but I just avoid the cold.
