Alright I am back. My goal for the week was to complete five table runners and quilt one donation quilt.
First up was another sunflower table runner- DONE
Next were the two card trick table runners that I posted about HERE - DONE
If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen the work in progress on the fourth table runner. My original checkerboard star. DONE
And the fifth one is another rendition of my United We Stand table runner. DONE This one is the one that my DH thought I should do. You can see the first version HERE
The last goal I had was to quilt another donation quilt. What do you think did I meet this goal?
Well of course, I didn't want to let anyone down, LOL DONE
I was just in a crazy go, go, go mood this past week. Which was good because it didn't happen in the sewing room over the weekend. This was the quilt from Tish's QAL last year. Yes it is finally done! Since this is for a Hands 2 Help donation you will see it again in it's own separate post.
That was a good week don't cha think, I am sure happy with it. Like I mentioned each day I completely finish something I write it on the calendar in my Quilters Planner. At the end of the month I tally it all up, makes me feel accomplished!
For April I finished 20 table runners, and 1 quilt for my Etsy shop which I figure is approximately 47 yards of fabric. The only fabric that I bought was 3 yards of solid brown for an upcoming quilt. And I paid $1.37 for a jelly roll. How did I do that you may be wondering..I had a gift card that I won from Fat Quarter Shop for $25 and the jelly roll was on sale.
Also in April from my personal stash I finished 5 small quilts for donations, I don't count the yardage on that just because I keep it totally separate from my business.
Do you keep track of how much fabric you use or how many projects you get done each month? I never used to, but I thought it would be fun to try it.
Linking with To Do Tuesday at HomeSewnByUs. Oh wait I didn't set a goal for this week, haha.
Keeping it simple and that is to work on a quilt for an order. I might be able to sneak in something else we'll see;)
Let's all go have a great week!
You did have a good week this week! Love all of your finishes, but especially the patriotic runner. It's time for me to start thinking of my annual project for my family!
ReplyDeleteThank you for not letting me down! Ha ha! Love all your table runners. I did keep track one year of all the fabric in and out to see what I was doing. That made me realize how much fabric I was buying...too much! But I've gotten a handle on that now and don't buy hardly anything.
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy! Love your version of Tish's Fireburst!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! You were like the energizer bunny. You deserve to keep it simple this week. Although, I imagine you are going to still do something to amaze us :)
ReplyDeleteYou did great this week! That is quite a bit of finishes for one wee....wonder what this week holds??
ReplyDeleteYou not only had a productive week, but also a productive month! Your tablerunners are all so great - I really love the checkerboard star!
ReplyDeleteWow Vicki, you are sure keeping busy! I always enjoy seeing the beautiful table runners you are making. I don't keep track of how much fabric I use.....probably should!
ReplyDeleteWow, you had a good week! How did I miss the checkerboard stars? Anyway, I like 'em. I don't keep track of my fabric used, etc., I just try to use my stash as much as I can.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunflowers Vicki!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! What an impressive week you had! Five table runners and a quilt is just fabulous. I can't wait to read all about it. Good luck with the your customer's quilt, and I'll just bet something else will sneak in to tempt you. Thanks for linking up today. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI'd never be able to figure out how much fabric I use (or even how much I have). I do write each day what I worked on, on my sewing room calendar. You got lots accomplished.
ReplyDeleteLovely runners! And noooo I don't keep track but I have nothing on my shelves almost nothing...I do try to not buy fabrics just because, I usually have a plan when I buy, unless it's a super sale.
