Sometime in mid-March, my boss loaned me her copy of the book Twilight, thinking that I would enjoy it. Little did she realize the obsession she was starting! I have since read all four of the books (countless times!) and watched the movie multiple times. I have also purchased the movie companion guide, and the board game! Sheesh!
I have to say that I really enjoy the books, and am now anxiously waiting for the release of the second movie New Moon in November!!
Since I first picked up the books, little else has gotten done around here. I haven't done any sewing, very little cleaning, and only get to the laundry when I run out of stuff to wear! I'm sure Brad thinks I am a goof!

Stash Builder (Buster) #11
3/9/09 - 3/15/09
Fabric purchased this week 10 yds
Fabric purchased to date 32.50 yds
Fabric used this week 0 yds
Fabric used to date 6.25 yds
Net stash used -26.25 yds
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!!

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!!

Found some cute flannel at JoAnn's that had scotties on it, so I had to buy 3 yards - also found an awesome orange batik-look fabric. And since sunday was my birthday, I treated myself!
