At 1:22 a.m. this morning the house started shaking, and it suddenly felt like I was sleeping on a waterbed mattress. Uh oh, earthquake! It was only a 3.9 but it got my attention. I lay there for a minute or two - two minutes, to be exact - and here comes another one. Okay, I'm awake. I'd rather be downstairs with Daisy if the big 'un is coming. So I loaded up a DVD and at 4:30 this morning I finished the binding on a quilt for a friend.
Because I didn't have a thing to report on the stashbusting front, I pulled fabric and pieced the backing for the Quilts in a Bag top that I will get the rows assembled on today. I'll post a picture when that's done. Whew, just in the nick of time for this report! 9 yards busted.
Now, about that purchase. Stars & Scraps had the cutest Easter quilt all kitted up just waiting for me. I don't have an Easter quilt, so that's my justification in this whole thing! 9.250 yards purchased, and this includes the backing.
I mean, this was way too cute to pass up. Did I already say I don't have an Easter quilt? LOL
My busts and purchases are almost equal, so my YTD totals haven't changed much. Another admission, I ordered some Simplicity from The Fat Quarter Shop but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm going to TRY to make something for the Simplicity contest. I say "try" because at this point the idea is just floating around in my pea-sized brain. Anyway, that will be reported next week when I receive it.
Year-to-Date Totals:
Busted: 122.50 yards
Purchased: 78.50 yards
Net YTD: 44.00 yards busted!

TV hasn't even been on here so I didn't have a clue y'all had more earthquakes. Hope everything is ok. I just read your stash report to mom (yards used to date and yards added). I wish you could've seen her face!
Your Easter kit looks so spring-y...like it should be warming up any day now. Have your vote for St. Paddy's fabric(mine, too). Hadn't heard about your earthquakes. Hope all is well for you and Daisy. Thanks for visiting.
Does Jane do kidnapping by request?
Yikes...Earthquake! Been through a few of those before but not since I left California for Arizona about16 years ago. Hang on tight. How did Daisy react? Love this post...the stats are great. Take care.
You're doing beter than me. I totally fell off the wagon today but it sure was fun!
Oh is that Easter quilt ever cute.
I don't think I could have passed that kit up either, it's adorable!
Your outgoing is much bigger than the incoming!! Good for you!
Bad Jane! LOL!
totally adorable all right-enjoy whipping that one up!
A girl just has to have an Easter quilt :) I personally have found it impossible to resist any fabric created by Three Sisters. I made three quilts out of the Wuthering Heights line and two out of Gingham Rose. I have a project in the bag for Maison de Noel. I'm here to give you backup support it you need. I won't let myself look at Simplicity.

Cute Easter project! You actually got some stash in the "gone" column, lol. I am impressed!
That Easter quilt kit is soooo cute! Hey, a girl needs an Easter quilt. :)
Uh, Vicky? Have you considered that earthquake may have been directly related to your fabric purchase? Kind of divine retribution? But it IS a cute kit! I guess you'd better get busy, though, because Easter will be here in a couple weeks!
I have to laugh at your stashbusting reports. It will be fun to see where you end up at by the end of the year.
You actually measured your stash! I couldn't! Anyhow, some of mine is just scraps. I live near LA also.
Great Easter quilt kit!!! Being from New England (with SEASONS), Easter was always a fun time of year because by then everyone is pretty tired of winter and ready to move on to spring! Your Easter quilt says just that!
Cheers!
