I went to Reno. I knew I was going to shop. I actually went to Windy Moon twice, and hit Going Batty once. Since I was looking for a piece of fabric and the Auburn shop is right off of 80 we stopped their too.

The good news is I finished 3 quilts (they needed binding) while we were in Reno and I made a set of pillowcases of me! I bought Corvette fabric at Windy Moon and went back to the timeshare to make pillowcases before we went to dinner.

This next weekend is our guild quilt show so I am thinking I might buy fabric again this weekend. My goal for this next week is 3 yards of fabric.

I am making my way out of the whole slowly! I cut the Flora & Fauna Fat Quarters this week for my pinwheel quilt. I am hoping to work on it in Reno. Along with some bindings and fabric shopping.

This is now 3 weeks running without buying fabric! I am trying for one more week. Then I am headed to Reno and I will be buying fabric.

This weeks goal is 10 yards! I know it sounds like a lot but I am cutting a top to take with me to work on in Reno. I am also hoping to sew binding to the front of 3 quilts to take with me too. Since I will be stuck in a truck for 3 hours each way this will give me something to do.

What are you going to bust this week?

That would be 2 weeks in a row with NO fabric purchase!!!

This week was a slow week. I didn't even have my machine on the last 2 days. I have started making the party favor bags for Delaney's birthday party. I am only counting the lining as busted yardage. If you remember back I purchase all the fabric for her party but didn't count it "In" since it was going to be used for the party. I will count what is left over as "In" yardage in March. I have also started a Spider Web quilt out of my black and white scraps, with orange kites. I have made 1 of 30 blocks.

This next week I have a few donations that need made. I also need to get 7 more party favor bags done, I am trying for 1 a day. I have a Valentine's day wall hanging to finish up and a gift to be made by Wednesday. Maybe even bind the Halloween Quilt.

Goal for next week 6 yards busted!
