After missing the past two stashbusting reporting weekends, it’s time to catch up tho not a whole lot to report. Luckily I made some banners that my Mom needed so I at least used some of the stash. My Mom does not sew – other than mending – it’s not something she enjoys doing so I kept her amazed as I pulled out all sorts of tools, gadgets and supplies to make these banners. I used Printed Treasures to print the words on for the saying that was to go on the banner and then cut the words out and we fused them on — rather than hand lettering which is how she had done the past ones. One banner needed a boat on it. I turned on EQ, pulled up a bunch of boat blocks so she could pick the one she liked and colored it in. She asked if it needed water – so I searched for water print fabric and plugged that in and printed on fabric. One with ballons, needed strings – again in my box of goodies I had fusible bias tape that made great balloon strings. Yes, she was totally in awe of my fun little toys and it made the work so much faster so I was glad I got to help her with them. Alas, I forgot to take any photos of them.
So thanks to those banners, and some blocks I was working on yesterday, I actually used 6 yards of fabric , 143.25 YTD.
While at my sister’s she served a pineapple casserole. I have to tell you, I was looking at it a bit askance since I have this thing about eating certain textures of food. But, this was incredibly delicious and I had to make some when I got home. Really quick and easy too. Don’t let the fact that it’s pineapple and cheese mixed together put you off. If you like pineapple, you will love this – a perfect side dish to ham – or even as a dessert… can you tell I really LIKE this stuff. You can find the recipe here. Don’t judge it by the photo with the recipe – it does not make it look appealing – but yummmmmm.
