Some quilting done on scrappy quilt for FNWF

Last night when I joined with Cheryll and friends I got some quilting done on this scrappy quilt
This year is my year to use nothing but fabric from my stash
Have pretty much succeeded ( well apart from a little purchase early in the year of some REALLY cheap fabric at the Op shop. So that doesn't count Right? )
I seem to have a collection of farming related fabric so into this quilt they went along with some orphan blocks and a couple of recently completed tractor stitcheries
Very happy with the result
Just home from footy
It was FEEZING
I wore tights under my jeans , but only one pair of socks Little toesys are freezing
Footy isn't so bad because you can sit in the car and watch, but netball is another story
Best go heat my toes by the fire

  2. ping to your commitment to use up your stash and I think buying from the op shop is ok in my mind as then you're using up someone else's stash as well lol :) Barb.

  5. Well done for only using your stash. I'm trying to but I don't have many plains so I'm only buying plains for my quilts. Hope your toes have warmed up

  6. What a good job and only using from your stash......I wish I knew the secret.....I did ok for the first 3 months of the year and then I visited a fabric shop with a friend.....oh dear! I have bought so much over the last 2 months!!

  7. Sounds like you need some thermal socks Illene, great for the cold days out at sport... I use them all the time in winter because my feet are permanently cold without them!
    Great work on the use of your stash, the quilt looks great!
