Wednesday, Novmeber 10,2010..Year 2..Week 65..Blog 75..Day 491 of 4,014


Over SEVEN weeks since I last blogged: Monday, September 13......

Well....I have been focused......using "all" my time and energy on quilting, quilting quilting...creating inventory for the local Community Center's Crhistmas Craft Fair....

And...I suceeded:8 Puppy/Kitty Quilts...and 30 wall hangings...all accomplished within the aims and purposes of this project.....to use ALL scraps and stash from some 14 years of quilting to zero by the year 2020.

No new fabric was purchased.....and I achieved some very acceptable..if not outstanding quilts.
amend that: SOME of those wall hangings ARE outstanding.

The Craft Fair on Novmeber 6,2010 was an interesting and instructive experience. While "customers" admired and commented favorably...they did NOT buy: 3 Puppy quilts-3 wall hangings sold.........profit--$33.

Now is the adventure and challenge of finding successful ways of selling these quilts....

......and the FIRST TASK IS TO SOMEHOW GET PICTURES OF THE QUILTS ON THIS BLOG...AND OTHER INTERNET VENUES...

I do/will KEEP WORKING ON IT..

And..even praising my "inventory' achievement of over 30 wall hangings and "picture' quilts there is still unblievable amounts of scrape and stash fabric in drawers and boxes..

This is a "recovery" week...then back to the project..but without the pressure to complete quilts for a deadline time....And

I WILL reestablish this blog......on some kind of regular schedule...

O.k. Ever Onward!!...

Monday, September 13,2010...Year 2...Blog 74...Day 429 of 4,014

Oh Dear!!!

Nine days since I last blogged....

where does the time go... assorted "life happens" stuff taking up time...but also

time for quilting....

and this morning finishing a small (approximately 20x24 inch) wall hanging..made with truely "strange" Japanese themed fabric......

Pictures of both men and women in "OLD" style kimonos...this is ANOTHER time when I ask myself:

WHY???? WHY??? did I ever think this fabric was wonderful????

Well..finally..now according to "plan" this fabric has been made into an acceptable wall hanging....and just maybe someone WILL think it is interesting..if not wonderful...and pay?????$ for it..

I can hope...

So that is the up-date...

What else but....EVER ONWARD!!!

HAPPY QUILTING

Saturday,September 4,2010..Year 2..Blog 73..Day 420 of 4,o14


For the record..AND my remembering..

A very very productive week.

Discovered in a quilting magazine two weeks ago and very simple block..but with potential for dramatic impact...

So this week...Monday, August 30th through Friday, September 3rd I have diligently quilted, quilted ,quilted using this design....and have completed the tops for FOUR outstanding wall hangings...

...actually using to zero..some of the "special"fabric bought for the classes with Kaffe Fassett in Hawaii in February 2009...that I had dispaired of ever finding the "right" design......and also "stash" fabric..bought ???? for reasons now lost to my memory.

This kind of quilting takes luck and patience--patience..patience...

...and both happened this week...

Labor Day weekend...and I will take a break from sewing...

and AGAIN...."organize" the various scraps and stash..so that I CAN progress in an orderly fashion.

The Craft Fair inventory grows...

Yes!!! I AM a HAPPY QUILTER

Wednesday, August 25, 2010..year 2...Blog 72..Day 410 of 4,014

Brief check-in and report..

I am FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I HAVE NOT UP-DATED THIS BLOG FOR 11 DAYS.

I planned to be more consistant..at lest twice a week....

No excuses..just can't even explain all that was going on...

However..for the record....

I HAVE been quilting several hours EVERY DAY...completing quilts...and adding to my inventory of quilts to be sold at a local Community Center Christmas Crafts Fair...

I am happy with my progress...although the scraps and stash still remaining often seems endless and daunting.....

So..keep plugging away..

...and I will somehow manage an accounting....when I manage an accounting...

THE important thing...I AM focused and consistent in doing some quilting every day....

...and the "inventory" of quilts on guest room bed gets bigger every day.

So EVER ONWARD!!! YES!!!

DETERMINED QUILTER!!!

Saturday,August 14,2010..ONE YEAR Aniversary..Blog 71..Day 399 of 4,014

YES!!!! CELEBRATE!!! CELEBRATE!!!!

AUGUST 14, 2009..inspired by the movie Julie and Julia..I started this blog...

GOAL: to complete ALL unfinished quilt projects, and use all scraps and stash to zero by 2020..WITHOUT BUYING NEW FABRIC---giving myself 10 years...

This has been a very rewarding and successful adventure...

...and even more exciting and compelling now: The decision to SELL the quilts at "local" Community Center's Christmas Crafts Fairs... Two fairs now on the agenda/schedule.

I planned to do a recording of ALL unfinished projects completed...and..ALL new quilts made..

Well..because the foggy-cold weather has made extended hours of quilting desirable and possible...my brain is groggy at the end of a -4-5 hour stint....Ido NOT want to think--be "organized'...I only can "vegetate"--think "soft" thoughts...

maybe next week...

Anyway...in ALL ways this quilt/stash project 202o has been a g.r.ea.t. fun challenge...and happy success for me...

I DO see the scraps/stash diminishing...and acceptable to super marvellous puppy/kitty quilts."pictures" and wall hangings completed...

yea!!! I AM on a roll.

Happy year TWO starting!!!!
