Stash Report 9 May 2010..............Sharie's News

HAPPY   MOTHER'S  DAY...................

I am back to quilting.  I have really missed it.  I decided that I would start something new, which is probably not the thing I should do, but I wanted to start with something fresh.  So, I created a pattern and dug in my stash, and picked up a piece or two. 

Vic took me to dinner today.  We went to the local Texas Roadhouse.  They have really good catfish, a wonderful baked sweet potatoe, a very good Caesar salad and rolls with honey cinnamon butter.  It is a feast, and oh, I must mention the raspberry tea.    I sure would like to have the recipe for the raspberry tea.  I was stuffed when I left, and Yethi is stuffed on leftovers. 

Then we went shopping at Wal Mart.  I needed a few things to add to my food locker for the week.  Wal Mart was close so that is where we went.  I love going to our super super grocery stores, but that was a bit out of our way and I didn't need anything special.  Our Wal Marts are so clean.  In California they were the pits.  I rarely ever went. 

Now for the Stash Report and I am looking forward to tomorrow to post "What is on my Design Wall."

Out -9 yards

I am almost there...........................

Stash Report - 21 February 2010 and Sharie's News.......................

I designed a new quilt and I could not help but pull the fabrics.  I don't think I will have to buy anything new for this one.  I might have to buy some fabric for the back and the binding, but it should only be a small amount if that is the case.  I have several quilts that I am trying to finish up (can't finish them if I start new ones).  I do plan to get borders on one this week and with a little determination, I will get a back made the following week.  I am hoping to finish, and that is the magical word (finish), at least one quilt a month.  We will see.  That was my plans last year,  I didn't make it, but came close.  I do have two finished so far for this year. 

The Beaumont, TX quilt guild had for their speaker this past week, Monique Dillard.  She is from Illinois.  She gave an outstanding program.  I was amazed at all her quilts. 

The weather here is colored grey.  The temps are not too bad, it is 62 degrees.  I believe it is suppose to get cold again.  Usually by this time of year our trees are budding.  I don't think they are as yet.  We certainly have had a strange winter (cold ) for living in the deep south.  I hope that this is not a sign of a hot summer (what am I saying, I live in the south).  We should not complain, at least the gulf is cool, and we always hope that it will stay that way (it keeps the hurricanes away).

I think I must have had a boring week, I really can't find much to chat about.  So here is my STASH REPORT

NET FOR THIS WEEK:  - 6 YARDS

SHARIE'S NEWS ..........................

Where has the month gone? The time just seems to disappear. It is very chilly here this morning, 36 degrees. Tomorrow, being the 1st of February means that spring is just around the corner and about 2 weeks after that, it will be summer. Maybe it will be different this year. On Friday, it rained, and rained, and rained. It came down in buckets. We have a creek that runs through the neighborhood. It was way out of its banks. Really out of its banks, the worst that I have seen since I've lived here. The quilt store where I sew has sold their inventory and will no longer be carrying fabric or notions. Larry will continue to quilt on his Statler Stitcher (long arm machine). He is going to let us continue to sew there. The sewing is really not that important. We can do that at home, but it is the social end of it all that we would miss if we (the chickens) could not sew there. Hope all is well on your end. Sharie
