We went to a benefit crab feed for our local humane society last night. Let me tell you that it was yummy! I decided that I would donate a quilt for next years dinner. I know that I have some cat remnants somewhere! If you know anyone who has some scrap dog or cat fabric, let me know. I have a year and I would rather use scraps. Thanks!

Stash report:
Fabric used: 29.7 yards
Fabric bought: 2 yds
Net used: 27.9

I have been working this past week on a couple of baby quilts, using, of course, fabric from my stash. No pictures yet, as they are not finished!

Go check out Suzanne's. She is having a great sale and giveaway!

And finally, I finished my Pennsylvania Dutch BOM from "The Fat Quarter Shop".

It rained lightly all week-end but I played golf Saturday and Sunday. I think that I just needed to get out and about!

I also played around on Friday and made several baby burb "rags". I don't have any grandchildren but several of my co-workers have new babies. I used fat quarters and added a decorative stitch.

I also made two candle mats. I used some "Roman Holiday" swatches and some "Chocolat" swatches that I bought a year ago during a shop hop down the I-5 corridor. The first mat that I made called for 2" squares and the swatches were 2.5" squares so they can be used as table toppers.

Good Monday morning, I got on the work van this morning and was asked "how my week-end was?" I replied "productive". I worked on and finished several little projects. This is "Peppermint Cottage". It was a kit that I bought last summer. I will probably use it as a table topper next Christmas.

Here is the back:

That's it for my weekend. How was yours?

This is the quilt that I made from Moda's "Authentic". I will show a picture from the front and the back. Remember, I am trying to use all of my stash.

I went to the golf course to play yesterday and it was closed. So, I started/finished my January Schnibbles. I used Moda's "Frosted Memories" and made a few slight changes from the pattern.

This is a "Candle Mat". The pattern is "Sweet Sixteen" by "Pieced Tree Patterns". I used left over fabric from a "Peppermint Cottage" quilt. (I haven't finished the quilt yet!) I have cut out a couple more from left overs and will show them when they are finished.

I had a nice surprise waiting for me after work Thursday. There was a box from Carrie Nelson & Miss Rosie for the December Tuffet drawing. There were: 2 layer cakes of Moda "Frosted Memories", a box of thread from Thimbleberries, a 4 x 4 " ruler, a new pink rotary cutter, a bottle of Mary Ellen's "Best Press", a Tuffet made by Carrie, and 2 pins from Pinks and Needles.

I am so excited. I just learned that I was one of the winners of December's Schnibbles drawing. Am I lucky or what?!!

"For your last task . . .
Pampering and Dreaming
Today you get to grab a cup of your favorite beverage (mine will be hot, cuz it’s cold where I am), put your feet up, and settle in with some of your newly organized magazines or books, picture your neat fabric stash all put away, envision your clean sewing area, and pick out a new project that you want to do in 2010." Go check out Shelly's blog! for full details.

My 2010 goals:

use up my stash

sew and quilt all of my purchased kits

try something new;

AND, I joined the 1951 Quilt along

I don't think that many of my blogging friends know that I am an avid M&M collector. My office is full, as well as several, many, lots of boxes at home. I stopped by the grocery store one night last week and LOOK WHAT I FOUND! I couldn't resist, and he was half price! My little red buddie stands about 2 feet tall and has little reindeer antlers on his big head.
