I hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day today.
I spent my morning building Ikea Bookcases and organizing fabric. I have come to the conclusion that I already knew the answer too. I have too much stuff. My 401K Fabric fund is 100% funded. I do not need a pin or a thread. Am I the only one? Please tell me I am now alone.
After I finished the building and organizing I prepped 15 more baskets. I have 270 of 300. YAY!
After that I worked on my Cheddar Bow Ties. I finished all the blocks I needed. This is 80 nine patches of Bow Ties for a total of 720 3" blocks. Next weekend I will iron and square them up to start putting the quilt together.
That's all I had time for this weekend. I hope you all have a great week!

You're almost finished with your baskets...YIPPEE! That's going to be one awesome quilt! Love your bow tie blocks...beautiful!
And no...you're not alone...I don't need pins, thread, fabric, scissors...NOTHING! But that probably won't stop me...LOL!
That is a lot of baskets to make. And a lot of three inch bow tie blocks. Are you tired of making them?
I am pretty much stocked too but could easily find something I need. Like a certain color of floss for a project, thread, basting spray. Something!
That`s all! that is incredible! you are so impressive! You are not the only one. I went looking through my tools and I don`t know how many applique pins I have, maybe I thought they weren`t going to make them anymore.
Your cheddar quilt just looks awesome
I'd say you had time for quite a lot!
Wow--so close on the baskets. Doesn't that feel good?
And look at that pile of bow ties. That will be a quilt in no time! : )
ikea furniture is definitely a test in fortitude and patience! Hub and I love putting them together. Great team building exercise lol
wow those bow ties are gorgeous. Can't wait till you get them put together. Amazing..
Wow, that is so much work but so beautiful Yvette, I have been working form my scraps and stash . No new fabric purchases though I did get a gift card for Mother's Day.
Wow! Good job on the baskets and bowties....Too much stuff? Ummm, yeah but how to stop buying the latest pattern, fabric, notions? I'm addicted.....I need a 10 step program!! lol Or something!!!
I love anything with Cheddar. Can't wait to see your quilt. Hugs
LOL I too can be added to the list of "having way too much stuff" but I too will not stop adding to that stuff. It is a sickness I say.
Way to go on the baskets. New Ikea furniture too. YUM! LOL

Woohoo. Baskets, bowties, boms, kits...We have do have a lot of stuff. I think there may be a few colors of thread you don't have??

You are not alone! lol.
Oh my word, Yvette - that's ALLOT of baskets!! You have more bowties than I've made in a lifetime!!! And that's including hubbies (not really, he doesn't have any..LOL)
Love the bow ties! Nice colors :-) Too much stuff? I've got that trouble too......it's just hard to part with fabric LOL :-)
LOL! I hear you on the fabric front. I too have an overflowing stash. I'm trying to work through it, but I doubt I'll make it in this lifetime. :P
Happy bowties! It sounds like your baskets will keep you busy for a bit-- that is going to be a fun quilt! :)
