Year 3--REPRISE


THE QUILT/STASH PROJECT-2020 and this blog began, August 14, 2009.

Inspired by the movie-Julie and Julia...about Julie Powell's "adventures" in cooking all ??? recepies in Julia Child's famous book: The Art of French Cooking in one year and then blogging about it daily.....I decided....

Use EVERY FABRIC SCRAP...AND EVERY PIECE OF STACH FABRIC to zero WITHOUT purchasing any new fabric ..........and to blog about the task and the experience...

Evaluating the amounts of fabric--scraps and stash in boxes and drawers....I very wisely gave myself TEN years...plus..so until 2020.

All went liesurely..according to the original plan until mid summer 2010 when I discovered that a local Community Center was sponsoring a CRAFT SHOW, November 5th..

At that time the original goal was modified: and I spent the next 4 months working/sewing dilligently--daily-- to create inventory ...so I would have quilts to sell at the Fair.

...and I also DID blog as often as possible...

The Craft Fair was NOT a hugh sucess for me....3 wall hangings...and 3 puppy/kitty quilts sold...

But ever onward...the strategy since November, 2010 has been to first sue all the many...many..many usually tiny batches of scraps to zero..with sole focus on puppy/kitty quilts...

This is both a challenge to creativity...AND SO FAR.. AMAZINGLY REWARDING AND GRATIFYING... I HAVE COMPLETELY ABOUT 10 PUPPY/KITTY QUILTS; AND SOLD 4.

Some are shown on previous blog; new ones will come shortly...

So..a NEW YEAR...my current estimate is that...the scraps WILL be used to zero by Easter....

I hope be be a more consistent blogger..and photographer..

So invitation: come along with me...

IF you live in Marin County, California..and are interested in a puppy or kitty quilt...please contact me: Determined Quilter@gmail.com and we will arrange a showing/meeting..

So Ever Onward..HAPPY QUILTING!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
