stash report August 20, 2023

 I am working on an older ufo called spoolin around. I found the pink I wanted for the setting triangles in my stash, but, I couldn't find a green I like with it for the border. I went through everything on the shelves. anything, I liked I did not have a large enough piece. I have a million yards of fabric, how could I not have what I needed? I checked my back up storage, ahem, yes it is a real thing. Still nothing. I even tried to change colors. So, I repeated the process with blues. I had the same problem. I don't have a local quilt store and I didn't want to travel, so, I went to Joann just to look. I knew it when I saw it. The sun came out and I heard angels singing. I only bought what I needed for the quilt. I didn't even look around for anything else. 

ta da

I was gifted some scraps of batiks. I am surprised what some quilters think are scraps. But, I will take them.

I think there is about 2 yards

I think the fabrics are lovely. I want to make a Lemoyne star with them. It has been on my bucket list for awhile, now. I can't right now, but, I will put them away for a rainy day. oh, with a note or I will wonder....

I sewed 2 days last week. 

The first loops have been hooked on my new rug hooking project. Not much, but, a start. It's best to start in the middle and work out from there. The rug pattern is called Christmas in new England by Old tattered flag. It is meant to be a tree skirt, but I am changing it to just a circular rug. SO, on dasher and dancer.
