Stash Report: I did buy 2 fat quarters this week. I used up 2 yards of black for my 4 patch posie top pictured earlier this week.
I still have about 1.5 totes.
To bust the stash I am going to make locker hooked rugs with my scrap fabrics; and I think I am going to make another rag quilt. I have other ideas for the charm packs I was given for Christmas. I think a disappearing 9 patch is in one.
The block exchange was fantastic!! I learned so much from everyone there. I learned that mixing hand quilting and stippling looks beautiful. I learned that making a Dear Jane is possible, A, started in Dec and she has 84 of the little blocks done. I have someone to help me paper piece if I can't figure it out.
I also learned that every one is so creative and had such great ideas. Embroidering X cross stitch in seams was a great addition to a quilt top. I also had a great time visiting.
We are going to exchange blocks again next Nov. a tutorial will be posted soon for my Circle of Friends in the exchange. Watch for it on the side column.

Great job on your quilt top! The block exchange was a wonderful time; what a great group. M
Vicki, Regarding your comment on my blog, it is really sickening that this sort of thing is so common with insurance companies & we don't seem to have any recourse. Ah well, I'm going to go read your blog now & not think about insurance for a while.
