I had one finish but I also did some Internet shopping. This week was pretty even for me, fabric wise. I also received a package from Lori in SD (and NE!) which contained a fq and some noodles! Thanks Lori!

My report follows:

Fabric added this week: +7.5 yards
Fabric added this year: +124 yards

Fabric used this week: -8.5 yards
Fabric used this year: -180.75 yards

Net fabric for the year: -56.75 yards

What I accomplished this week:
  • pieced Corvette quilt to a flimsy
  • pieced, quilted and bound Mermaid quilt

Goals for next week:

  • continue with the summer projects

Like Kitties?

Like kitties? Then head on over to Sewmeow's blog. She is hosting a Give Away since July is her birthday month and she is adding goodies every day for 18 days! Wowza!

Friday Finish

This little donation quilt was quite the stash buster! It used the last of both pinks (inner border and binding), purple and yellow. Follow this link for the pattern. I have enough mermaids and shells to make one more donation quilt similar to this one. I did the binding by machine...a fast finish but one technique I need to practice.

I'm thinking either Wrap Them in Love or Project Linus for this quilt. It measures 48 x 64.

WIP Thursday

I wanted to practice the stars and loops panto one more time before I put it away so I thought I would sew up a donation quilt. I was either going to make a QOV or a child's quilt.

Since I had the purple/yellow 4 patches made (they didn't make it into another project), this mermaid quilt top was quick and easy to assemble.

July 1st View

Today is cool and cloudy here at Bell Creek Quilts, more like fall than summer. Everything is very green and the flowers are blooming their course. I was happy to see that the pond has cattails and water lilies!



To my neighbors and friends to the North, Happy Canada Day!

Design Wall Tuesday

A little math and two weeks later, here is the Corvette Flimsy. This top really should have taken me about two, maybe three, days max to sew together.

What can I say? Summer is here at Bell Creek Quilts and the sewing time is at a minimum! :)

Believe it or not, I didn't have any fabric that DS wanted me to use as backing. So I ordered more today. We found a *nice police* novelty. :)
