I am changing the name of my weekly posting to Stash Builder report, since I seem to be making NO progress towards reducing my stash. But, in my defense, this past weekend, Rossville Quilts had an incredible sale! They were collecting items for the county food pantry, and for every item you brought in, you would get 5 free fat quarters for every 5 that you bought. The had a bunch of gorgeous new Fairy Frost colors that I couldn't resist, so I bought 20 fat quarters and got 20 free! Oh well, I guess I am building up my stash in case the recession hits my sewing room!!

What's on my design wall?

This has been on my design wall for about 3 weeks now -- I am not sure I like this arrangement, but undecided on how to "fix" it... ideas would be appreciated!!

Finally got the stitch regulator on my Weekender up and running, and did a practice piece on sunday - I had already recorded the top of the sandwich (when I loaded it) but forgot to count the bottom of the sandwich! I hope to do a lot of practicing this week, so I can start chipping away at the stash!

Tammy & I went on a mini-shop hop Saturday in the Noblesville/Anderson area, and I found way too much Kauffman Fusions to add to my collection. My goal is to get a fat quater of every color in Fusions #7 line. Fortunately, I have decided to do Judy Laquidara's stash quilt project, so hopefully, I can use up some of the fabric -- I am going the wrong direction!!
