No matter how sick I get, I can still poke buttons. LOL. Week 33 was a no purchase/no bust week.
Week 34: Every year for my birthday I buy myself something special, usually non-quilty. This year I decided it would be fabric because I just fell in love with this quilt! It's Heritage, Collection for a Cause, by Howard Marcus of Moda. Isn't it beautiful?!! I also purchased a tower of this collection. I want to add one more row across and down to get it to the size I need for my bed. I will need to get two or three yards of the yardage when it comes out to complete the quilt. This will look awesome in my bedroom.
Year-to-Date Totals:
Busted: 288.00 yards
Purchased: 577.25 yards
Net YTD: <289.25> yards busted
So two weeks, 22.5 yards. No busts. I did get some applique prepped but felt too poorly to do any stitching.
That fabric is BEAUTIFUL! I got the kit...I've been thinking about that tower of fat quarters. Oh my! Great to hear from you. Hope your on the mend.
ReplyDeleteWell it's your birthday and a beautiful kit. I'd say you were completely justified. Enjoy and happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt. I've been looking at it but have been holding off. But my b'day is coming up next month. Maybe if I hint to DH! ;0)
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! I didn't get it though; all of those pinwheels just turned me off, lol. I did get the tower however. Not sure what I am going to do with it yet, however. Glad you treated yourself, and glad you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're on the mend! And everyone deserves a birthday present, and fabric for a vintage quilt is a WONDERFUL present. Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday
ReplyDeleteNeat looking quilt, I like how some of the pinwheels have a low contrast - they really added interest to the quilt
what a perfect birthday gift to you! great job picking it out, I love it!! hope you are feeling better...
ReplyDeleteOh my gooness, I never get out anymore so I didn't know you were sick. Glad you're feeling better! Go for it. Buy anthing you want you deserve it.
ReplyDeleteOk, I meant goodness not gooness. Gooness sounds like a great work but I'm afraid to think what it might mean. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOne more time...word not work. I quit.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is beautiful!! I've been thinking about buying some myself. I look forward to seeing the quilt you're making with it. I know it will be gorgeous! Happy Birthday to YOU!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better. I have asthma, so I'm extremely careful when I get colds so that they don't turn into pneumonia-added problems w/breathing are no fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a nice b'day. I love following your stash-busting/building journey. I mentioned it to one of the women in my bee - her husband was nearby (and enables the stash collecting!) and he laughed for 5 minutes when I suggested she try documented her stash.
Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with you about the fabric. It is very pretty. You deserved to have some!
Dang, woman! We're not even in DL and you're meggin' me. I should know by now not to poke on stuff you like. We have identical taste. When Mav sees the cc bill, can I blame you? 8^)Susan
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty quilt - and since it is a birthday gift and contributes to charity, I think you have complete justification.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. Awful to be sick on your birthday, but hope it is happy anyway.
