I had high hopes for stash reduction this week--but I didn't make it.  I have 2 borders to put on the second "Why" quilt and it will be done--just can't count it yet!  I purchased fabric (1.5 yards) for the sashing and borders so I have a "temporary" increase.  

 

I also purchased fabric (1.25 yards) to make a set of machine embroidered Sally King shoes as a gift for a friend.  She likes pink/burgundy so I bought a pink.  I have pink in my stash, but thought I'd better buy some she could match if she wishes--for borders or whatever.  I will gift her with the embroidered squares only--she will make the quilt.  I'm choosing my favorites and changing some of the thread colors--one shoe I made with red soles like a Christian Louboutin shoe!  I have 5 done--not sure if I will do 12 or 16 total to give to her.  She has antique beds (double size) like I do, so either will be OK--the finished size of the embroidered blocks will be 8.5 inches.  I have 5 done (averaging about 30,000 stitches each), but can't wait to see how surprised she is when she gets them.  After seeing mine, she said she thought she needs an embroidery machine just so she can make some "shoes!"

 

We're going to visit grandchildren so it will be awhile before I get back to any projects--they will wait.  I need to bake, iron, pack, etc.--will be busy!
