I started this quilt in June 2010, and finished July 2011.  I finished it before I finished the 2009 BOM Winking smile

She’s already off to the quilter with the deadline of “anytime as long as it’s by Nov. 1.”  I want to have PLENTY of time to thoroughly enjoy this beauty for Christmas this year.

Sunday Stash Report, Week 28

I’ve actually done some sewing over the last week or so.  It’s been WONDERFUL!!!!!

I finally got the last two blocks of the 2010 BOM completed (1 yard out).

I have everything cut out and almost finished piecing the borders for that BOM (4.75 yards…including sashing, cornerstones, etc. that has never been counted).

In over the last couple of weeks I have the latest installment of the Fig Tree Club (5.875 yards in).

Used this Week:        5.75 yards
Used year to Date:    34.25 yards
Added this Week:      5.875 yards 
Added Year to Date:  63.315 yards
Net Used for 2011:  -29.065 yards

I guess the good news is that my out basically cancelled my in!

what I did on my summer vacation

Last post I mentioned that I would be gone for a while on vacation…and I was soliciting ideas for what to do.

I did NO stitching/sewing of any kind.  I’m a bit shocked myself.

I did however read 3 books (and start a 4th!)…all of which I THOROUGHLY enjoyed.

We stayed at Henderson Park Inn in Destin, Florida.  It is an “adults only” bed and breakfast…and it was every bit as AMAZING as I had hoped it would be.

This was our view from the room.

Here’s the room…and the wine and fruit that we received at check-in.

We loved every bit of our vacation!  I would HIGHLY recommend this inn if you are looking for a place to vacation with your hubby!

Next time, I promise there will be something quilt-related on this blog…but until then…I leave you with two people happy on vacation.
