Really lots of pretty projects this month. Precious- love your purse.

Great job Precious!

I also like the St. Patricks' Day project- very festive!

About 95% done hand quilting an Eastery project- the Mystery Mayhem basket New Year's mystery from a couple of years ago. Even the binding is from stash, which just fits!

This months project was easy . 2/3 of it was done in Feb., but I finished the hand quilting and binding the first week of this month.

I doubt I'll have anything in April, I got out Roll Roll Cotton Boll to finish. (king size Bonnie Hunter mystery) And finishing means hand quilting because me and that long arm in the other room are NOT getting along!

The next one.... I know, crappy photo, I will spend more time when it's DONE

BEAUTIFUL quilts DJ ... I especially LOVE that scrappy pattern from Bonnie Hunter ... that's on my "one day" list

Such beautiful quilts.

Got 2 finished. This one is from my stash. The other I posted on the Weekly thread. Both for crime victims.

SS, that purse that Precious made is so cute.Even has a zipper?? It looks like she has grown up just since we were in Branson. Great job Precious.
Loving all of the projects that are posted this month. I really have to get going and do something. I keep telling Sue that I'll do something, but I dither and play on the computer and don't get any sewing done.

So here's what I've been working on and just finished last night: my 100 square block queen size quilt. We were in Texas for a week but before and after that, I've been working on this quilt every single day! machine quilting it on my regular little Janome! It is actually on our bed now and will stay there- this one isn't going to be given away!! (I know, I'm being selfish!)

I made a new tote bag for work. I had some panels with a coordinate fabric in my box of maybe I should give aways. Decided they would perfect. It has five pockets inside and a crossbody strap.

Also did the March HGTV BOM.

Awesome goodies everyone! So inspiring!
A couple friends and I had a virtual sew-in for National Quilting Day. I made this tablerunner from stash - the borders are purple, not blue. The flower patterns are from fatcat.com - I love her work!

Worked all day Sat. after finding material in my stash for the back and an sheet that was in my stash of sheets (had 2 of this one). Even had the webbing in my box of zippers & etc. Saw a picture on Pintrest and needed one for our newly adopted Lab so she can go with us. It does duel duty because I can move it from the car to the pick up. Here it is the dog hammock for the back seat.

Also got into my stash of selvages a few days ago. Here is the front

And the back. One purse was to big and the other to small so tried to make this a size in between.

Margie, I love your selvedge purse.

I was buzzing along today putting the rows together when I was rudely startled by this. Think I ought to correct it??

yeah, probably... :/

FFG oops

I made a few pillow covers. 2 are for Easter and the pink flamingo one for my sun porch.

Farm Girl, that picture looks a lot like the stars I did a while back. Nice to know I'm not the only one!!!

Sewlove, looks like we both had a thing for selvages this month. Looks like you used a lot more than I did tho! Good Job!

I am so impressed with everyone's work this month. Such a wonderful variety of projects. I haven't had much time for sewing but I am itching to get back to play. I'm wishing now that I hadn't thrown away all those selvedges for years!

I think this is everyone's favorite thread. Great projects to see and inspire. Use up that stash--you can't take it with you.

Another month of great items and remembrances of things I would like to do some day!

Managed 5 rwb pillow cases this month but no picture yet... Chris

Lots of nice projects again this month.You ladies sure are creative. I like that dog hammock, goaskmom, It would be nice to have something that doesn't shift around when the dog moves around in the backseat. Might have to make one of these. Thanks for the idea.

For March stashbusting, I finished the Hexie Stashbusting Swap (due in May) with 100 hexies. And with just small pieces left, I pretty much used up the random pieces of fabric I had in piles. It felt really good to get those stacks mailed off with only the 30's Repro Hexie Swap to finish - Only 15 sets left in that one. I owned zero 30's fabrics so having an excuse to fabric shop was nice.

I have to say, handquilting bits of my stash really helped.

LOVE this thread... lots of cool projects shown

Here's something I whipped up last nite ... needed a mugrug, and this is fun!

Chicky, that sure is cute. TFS

I can't show pics because it's the COF RR; but I used abt 19" of one fabric and 14" of another fabric.
I need to make some portable crib sheets for the church nursery. I plan to use some of my flannel stash. We have one 6 mos old and another baby to be born any day now. This way the mom's can switch the sheets between babies. This project should also bust a lot of my flannel.

So many cute projects. Sewlove - I love your tote bag. I need to add that to my "someday" pile. And, Goaskmom, I love your purse as well. I'm being drawn to salvage projects.

here is the RR row I made for WarmBuns - it's all from stash...

Very nice work ladies this month. Look at all of the fabric being used. Nice job on the row by row Lori.

This is a 30's string quilt that has been years in the making. All from stash. It is the first large quilt I have ever quilted on my sewing machine. I used a polyester batting that I had won. I prefer warm and natural, but it is done.

I made this for a wedding gift for my niece. The original pattern called for blues but I couldn't find enough that I really like so ended up using black, gray and whites and touch of red from my stash. I had purchased the white on white just to have and it worked for the background. I even pieced the backing with stash!
Susan

I really love that Susan. I love the splash of red!

I made pillowslips for the changing pad and portable crib for church. Here's the plastic cover

1 cover

another changing pad cover

I made 2 for the portable crib, used abt 4 yds of flannel. Didn't even make a dent in my flannel pile

2nd flannel

I've only gotten a couple of small things done from stash this month.

A little spring wallhanging (5.5" x 9.5")

Good morning, ladies!

March was a very good stashbusting month for some of you Let's see if we can't replenish that stash with 5 yds of pretty green fabric sent to me by Lumpy Tush as a prize for this month's winner. Thanks Lumpy Tush

And without further ado, the winning name drawn from my pretty green basket is:

no need to send me your address, Lynn. I'll throw in a couple other items and get that sent out to you soon.

Congratulations to sewlove2quilt and to all our March stashbusters!March
