I got a lot done this last weekend at retreat.  Mostly,I prepped bindings the first day.  I forgot my sewing machine so I got everything cut and pressed.  Carla let me use her machevery once in a while so I could finish them.

Max brought me my machine the second day so I finished the bindings and then worked on my Emma’s legacy strips sewn together.  Today I got one block from my Designer Mystery 2009 done.  We didn’t have a lot of time to sew so I didn’t get much done.

I will post photos this week from retreat.

State of the Stash – Week 9

Yea… Another week of not doing anything but purchasing.

YTD Total    28.25     

The only reason I bought the Moda was I only needed $10 more for free shipping when I bought the flannel that I needed for a design wall.  If I hadn’t have bought the moda bella, the shipping would have been almost $10.  So it was like I got the moda bella free.

I did purchase a honey bun for a project that I have been wanting to do.  I also bought some backing for a quilt.  It hasn’t come in yet, so I am not counting it.
But…  I did go to  burgandybuttons.com and saw a couple of honey buns that I wanted with matching charm squares.  I put them in my cart and then decided I didn’t know what to make with it, so I took it out.  I then put another line in  and the same thing.  I walked away without ordering anything that time.  Then a couple of days later I found a honey bun that I wanted to make those clothesline baskets with, so that one did get ordered.  I finally found clothesline for me to do that project with.
