Happy birthday, SillySusan. WOW - those projects are turning out wonderful. I need to get my butt in gear but work has been challenging so I need to focus on sleeping. I also need the hubby to change the foot on my sweet 16. (I guess I could do it but I don't want to.) I have an open toe foot but want to do more ruler work. In circular rulers the open toe just doesn't work. sigh!

Happy Birthday to all celebrating this month.
I haven't bought any fabric (or fallen from wagon) since around mother's day. Too sad I'm also not doing any sewing either. My quilt room is packed and mostly moved but oh so slowly setting it up.
I have started shelving my fabric which is always fun and more like play than work. That's a good thing since after two months of sorting and packing and moving, I've gotten a little cranky about no sewing. Need to find a machine and set up wherever I can and spend 30 minutes playing. Think I'd feel better.
Love seeing everybody's projects and ideas. Such a talented group here.

I know the feeling, Elly. I am living with boxes now getting ready for a move. My sewing area is the last area to pack for the most part. Trying to wait until the last minute..lol..

My stash increased a lot yesterday, but I'm not keeping most of it. My brother brought me his deceased wife's stash. Calicos, cabbage patch patterns, some started quilts, a 5 yd piece of fleece in a print I don't care for, Warm and Natural batting which I'm not sure I like, Halloween, some Christmas, an iron, a cutting board, a new Fiskars one with cutter attached, fiberfil, etc, etc, etc.

I fell off the wagon a few weeks ago, but I wanted to show you what I did with my purchases (some of them, anyway).
I made this One Block Wonder, using fabric I bought during a shop hop. And a border purchased at a different shop 2 weeks later - the colours looked perfect based on my memory. And it turned out to be the same fabric line, so that kind of explains it

This was the original fabric

Happy Belated Birthday SillySusan!!!! Great decision about not buying more and very generous of you to donate your birthday exemption to someone in need!
Good work on using up stash Petthfabric- you've been busy!
Krista-- Amazing use of stash-- your memory served you well picking the border fabric.
Still haven't used my birthday exemption or the birthday coupon from the LQS, but I will
