This was a fairly productive week for me. I finished the Links quilt (1/2 yd binding), my round for the QOV Round Robin (1 yd), and finished cutting strips for the Garden Inspirations top.
Now for the bad.... I received an email from Quilters Roundup saying they were having a storewide sale because they needed money NOW...well I felt I had to help out, so I *had* to place an order. Some of the order came in this week...12 yards worth. I'm planning on using these fabrics in quilts for the Victory Junction Gang Camp. I also had a coupon for the Fat Quarter Shop so I placed an order there too. I got the B&W FQ tower (4.5 yds), Boy Oh Boy FQ bundle (5.25 yds) and A Haunting We Will Go kit (3 yds..guesstimate).My numbers this week:
- Fabric Added This Week - 24.75 yards
- Fabric Added as of Apr. '08 - 165.75 yards
- Fabric Used This Week - 1.5 yards
- Fabric Used Year to Date - 45-3/4 yards
Goals for this Coming Week:
- Continue piecing QA QOV Mystery
- Continue piecing Gardin Inspiration
These are the pattern and fabrics I'm using for the Garden Inspiration (I need to think of a better name for this...any suggestions?) top I'm working on. The fabrics are Moda Garden Inspirations and the pattern is Chocolate Covered Cherries.
A little side note, my fabric in numbers "should" be going down since DH and I have decided this week to buy a new car. Our older one died (again) this week and we just don't want to invest anymore into it so we're looking for a new one. There won't be much $$$ left for fabric after paying the monthly car payments.

I know how you feel, this week for the FIRST TIME my little car with 100,000 miles needed brakes. Well, I guess they DO wear out!! And although I wish my car was GREEN (it's navy blue) it consistently gets 38 mph. And it's PAID for. DH talked about getting a different vehicle, but I told him to pencil it out, and when he could tell me it cost us LESS to buy a different car, I would agree. Makes up for the year Laura Beth wrecked two cars in two weeks (neither accident was her fault). But digging into your stash to sew is like your own personal quilt shop, open anytime you'd like to shop!
Car troubles are the worst - I try to keep mine in really good running order because I am always on the road by myself with my small son. Once I had a car that broke down so much that my mechanic felt like he had to gently break the news to me - he wouldn't fix it anymore BUT he would help me find a decent car! BUT - even if you do have to buy a new car - it looks like you have enough BEAUTIFUL fabric to keep you busy for a long time!
Cheers!
