Week Two - Accomplishments and Stash Used

Judy spearheaded another quiltathon this weekend - it's so encouraging! I took a class at a local shop yesterday, to create an applique block holder. It's been awhile since I've taken a class - it is so much fun to learn new things with other quilters. The block keep has a few neat touches, and was designed by the woman who taught the class. Helen had one for each applique quilt she has in progress - and I can definitely see more in my future! They'd also make a great gift.

I managed to get in, take the class, and leave without buying any fabric!

I also worked on my 30's quilt for awhile, and a block exchange quilt - but since neither are finished, I'm not counting that fabric.

I'm joining in on the stash using philosophy so many quilters have embraced for 09. Since I have a number of projects nearly done, but not quite useable, I am going to count stash used when the quilt/runner/etc has binding attached. These folded tops hanging around aren't much more useful than fabric on the shelf til they get to this stage!

This week, I finished quilting my red and cream quilt, which was started at least 3 years ago. Used a total of 10 yards, including backing and binding.
