This week I finished the Red and White Thirties Repro's Double Irish Chain, and machine quilted it on my Statler. I used a cute block motif by Laurie Thomas called feathers and hearts, and the border is Kathy Olsen's very pretty feather border, I stitched straight lines in the colored blocks which I like the way they turned out.

I didn't finish the quilt I had hoped to get done by Sunday. Here is a pic of its progress so I can show that I really am working on something! LOL This top with backing and binding should be a good amount of yards for next week.

Stash Report

This week I finishe a UFO - jacob's ladder that I didn't enjoy piecing at all. I am glad it is done. I had to edit lst weeks stash report to delete an addition to my stash. I checked the receipt and I had purchased it on 12/30/09, so it really was last year. So, I have not purchased any more fabric this year yet, yeah!

Finished Heartstrings Quilt top

I love the way log cabin blocks can be so striking by just turning them this way or that. The 30's prints are always so cute. The blocks are 1 inch finished and the quilt is about 45" X 45".

Heartstrings Quilt top

Today I am starting to piece my first quilt top of the year. I hope by setting goals and monitoring my progress I will feel like I accomplished something by the end of 2010!

My first quilt is Heartstrings from "Log Cabin Fever" by Evelyn Sloppy. The fabrics are 30's reds and pinks with a cream floral tonal.

One of my goals this year is to sew through my ever growing stash. I am going to list the yards as I use them for each quilt I finish. Let's see if I stick with it!.


Happy New Year.
