How to shrink your stash !
Just another Tuesday
Don’t knock it till you try it
Monday, I spent most of the day at my PC working on a new training course for work. Lunchtime I was able to a little on my 5D software, I designed a book cover for my niece. Hopefully I will get to stitch it out tomorrow.
I was invited to go try line dancing at the local Vets hall and I thought why not, its something new. So at 6.30 I arrived and joined a group of some dozen other beginners and followed the teaching from Bernadette. I have to say it was a lot of fun. A little exercise for the body but a lot of exercise for the brain trying to remember all of the steps. The music was varied, some country but also some soul, all in all I really enjoyed myself. Who would have guessed? http://notjustcountrylinedancing.com/
I will definitely try it again and next time I will wear better shoes, who knows maybe I will get myself some cowboy boots.
Stash List
For those of you non quilters, we have some technical terms for our guilty secrets. When we are out buying fabric for no specific reason we say it is for our stash. Whilst no quilter likes to admit just how much they have in their hoard. I thought I would join the folks over in Patchwork times and declare my weekly purchesses
So here goes

A new year filled with good intentions
Thanks to the UFO challenge from Patchwork times, they drew the lucky number 6 yesterday which means that I got down to trying to finish the sixth item on my list which is my blue and white quilt. The pattern was inspired by Karen Montgomery’s quilt in the August addition of American Patchwork & Quilting.
After 2 days this is how far I have progressed with the assembly — I cut all the blocks last September in order to try out my Accuquilt Go cutter. It is about 12 yards of fabric. Saturday night I stitched some more on my Raggedy quilt.
I have also been running, 4.4 miles on the treadmill on Saturday and 2.2 miles out in the snow today.
Lets hope I can keep up with all this progress.
Raggedy and Friends
