Design Wall & Stash report the end of August


A few more blocks for my Quilts for Hero's [ Judy's design] , hope to get this top completed this week. I have been messing with my treadle sewing machine having now bought a new belt for it.
Do you like my ribbon display... I have hung them from the side of my design wall with a bell at the bottom... ribbon disappears in this house at an alarming rate, I think she is called a granddaughter!
August has seen me using 19 yds of fabric from my stash, which is quite good for me. Total bought this year 103 yds used 94 yds... maybe September will see me back on the + side.

Good to see you started the hero quilt. Great idea about the ribbon. I keep saying I'm going to do something with my collection other than toss them in a drawer. They look so pretty when organized properly.

the blocks are looking great.
I hope you catch the ribbon thief-and give her a big hug!

Ribbon? LOL. Daughter Carrie used to use scotch tape at an alarming rate. I couldn't keep the stuff in the house! When she got married, I gave Andrew about 25rolls of tape! It was too funny!

Looks great. I can't wait to see it all finished.

Looking very nice! Good job on the stash busting too.

Ribbon piles UP here. I buy it and don't use it :)

Your quilt is looking great, but I could barely drag my eyes away from that beautiful treadle sewing machine :)

One big project will have you back to ZERO! I will be sharing your ribbon idea with my Mom. She's got rolls of it stored on tote pans. Your idea appears to require less space.

Your quilt is really coming along.

I like your Ribbon Display. Great idea..............
