stash report August 6, 2023 from Making A Lather

I haven't added anything new this week to my fabric stash. I have cut some scraps from trimming quilts. I cut some 4 1/2 inch squares from cream for an older ufo of shirts.

trifecta . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

My blogging reliability has been incredibly negligible this year, and I really debated at some point whether or not to just give it up. But I really enjoy writing, and I *love* having this pictorial/word summary to look back on; whether it's for remembering a trip or a particular project. Or just to reminisce. ♥

This morning I debated on whether to add a third post to July, or save this for tomorrow and start off August well. Eh. We'll be traveling to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville tomorrow (about a 2 hour drive), so why put it off ...

It's almost August! How did that happen??? July started with a bang ... pun intended ... with our July 4th holiday and a lovely day with the family on the boat!

This crew loves being in the water ... it's hard to get them back out of it when it's time! Little man thought he was big stuff, hanging out in the Captain's lap. LOL!

Todd's surgery was scheduled for the 5th, so we came in early . . . unfortunately, the surgery ended almost as soon as it had started. We knew the surgeon was going to use cameras to ...

I added a bright yellow and clear blue to the stash. I don't really need 2 yards of each, but, missourri star is selling 2 yard or 3 yard cuts, and I like the colors and the price, so, I have more than I need, but, there are worse problems.

Rabbit, rabbit! It's hard to believe it's July 1st and we're halfway through the year already!

June was busy, but good. We got the very good news that the PET scan images were good, so Todd was cleared for surgery. That will happen on July 5th ... in four days. It's a major surgery. They'll remove the right lobe of his liver, his gallbladder, and ablate any mets they find on the left lobe. They think there might be one, but they've never been able to get a good look at it, so that's ...

We had a great garage sale at our guild meeting. I sold 20 yards of fabric, and, probably bought more than that. One of our guild members was 97, and, just moved into an assisted living center. She gave us all that was left of her fabric. It is a pleasure to have some of her fabric in my stash. But, she kept her sewing machine and some supplies. you go girl. I bought a 2 gallon bag of fabric that I could fill myself at the sale. I concentrated on whites/creams.

It weighs 7 pounds and 4 ounces ...

I found another batch of neutrals hidden in a box. geesh I did cut several shirt quilts awhile back that will need a background. I expect I will start mass cutting those soon. But, I am not sure why the fabric plays hide and seek in boxes.

I am adding purple, orange and yellow to my stash in anticipation of a projects I want to make. I have a much smaller stash of these colors. I noticed my green scrap drawer is almost impossible to close. I am guessing, I will start a green project soon to use the scraps. It is, after all, a see saw balance of adding and subtracting fabrics. Next week, our guild is having a garage sale. All bets are off, when shopping there - anything could jump into my bag. haha

It's been a year.

Technically, it's not even been a half year, but it still feels like a whole, full, 12-month year, and I'm ready to be through with it! Is that wrong?

My daddy passed away late in January.

He'd been in hospice care since December of 2021, so it wasn't a complete surprise, but I still wasn't ready for him to be gone. I'm glad he's no longer suffering.

He was witty and clear-minded right to the very end, making us laugh with his quick sense of humor. Such a ...

While cleaning my room, I found an unopened box from missourri star quilts. In it were a few neutrals and a fat quarter bundle of kaffe fabric. In my defense, I used to know it was there. I don't need the kaffe until the end of the rainbow scrap challenge year for my lucky stars quilt. So, I didn't hurry to open it. But, then,.... I forgot it. Such a lovely surprise to find while cleaning. No one likes to clean, maybe all quilters need to hide fun surprises in the mess to make it more fun. I ...

Happy Mother's day

My, my feelings have changed over the years. When I was in grade school, we wrote little essays to someplace that would pick the Mother of the year. I was sure mine would win, until, I was a teenager, then, I thought she should go to Mom jail. Then, I was a new Mom and so excited. I have been in Mom jail myself many times. Now, I just hope for a candy bar passed out at church.

I added some scraps from the guild table at our quilt show. I haven't even taken them out of the sack. Most of what I bought were 1.00 mystery bags filled with scrap pieces. The quilt show went well, with a smaller venue.

I entered sea swept, rainbow pineapple blossom, and Boho heart.
