Hey, it is always so nice to start out with a clean slate. Love all the zeros. I wasn't going to do the stash report this year but I feel it keeps me on track to actually use stash!! LOL  New purchases are so nice but I do need to clear some space to store them while they age. The shelves are VERY full.

The plan is to be more productive this year and finish projects even if they are not PERFECT. I tend to be a little bit of a perfectionist and sometimes this keeps me from finishing projects. Maybe that is just plain procrastination (which I have down to a fine art)??

Last night I finished sewing together the center portion of Celtic Solstice by Bonnie Hunter. I did add two rows of blocks to the center to make it longer. It now covers the top of the queen size bed nicely. Hoping that I can find the inner and outer border fabrics in my stash. The middle border pieces are done, just need to be sewn together into long strips. 

Celtic Solstice

This year a UFO list has been started. As I clean and sort the downstairs closet where a lot of the overflow from my sewing room is stored, I know that additions will probably be added to the list. There are a lot of projects that just need to be quilted and moved out of the house! LOL 

I sincerely hope that everyone has a wonderful 2015 and are able to work on some fun and wonderful projects.


Hugs to all and make sure you hop over to Patchwork Times to see what others are doing.

    1. It is probably the only time I will ever have this happen. Never even went near a quilt shop! LOL Thank you for the Kuddos on the Celtic Solstice. Looks like I may "have to purchase" fabric for the last border and binding. Couldn't find anything in the stash that I liked!! Let's all have a quilty New Year.

    1. I got behind on stash reporting at the end of 2014, so hope to do better this year. It keeps me honest about what I am using and buying. Thanks for the kuddos on Celtic Solstice. Hope to get the next two borders on tomorrow but have to purchase fabric for the last border and binding. There goes the stash!! LOL

    1. Hey Deb, I have started Grand Illusion but mostly I want to have it all cut out before I go on retreat. That will be a good project.
      I keep trying to find something in my stash for CS that will work for the last border but so far no luck. Trying very hard not to purchase fabric!! LOL I also want to complete some of the UFO's stacked up. Good luck with yours.

    1. Debra, It is so nice to hear of someone hand quilting. It is still my most favorite way to quilt, but I machine quilt so I can eventually get the projects done. Thank you for the kuddos on CS. All the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilts turn out so beautifully and of course I always like what someone else did better! LOL Hope you are much warmer out in Massachusetts.
      Hugs
