Happy Mother's Day

A very happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there.  I think Mother Nature's children must have disappointed her by forgetting about Mother's Day this year, because she seems kind of gloomy today.  It was supposed to be a sunny, warm weekend, but we have clouds as far as the eye can see.  No rain yet, however.

I told my kids that what I wanted for Mother's Day this year was to be able to quilt uninterrupted all day.  They were agreeable, so what did I do?  I spent 2 hours quilting, then I went shopping, and when I came home instead of making a quilt, I whipped up this: a liner for a bread basket I bought on my shopping trip.


Small, and quick to make.  But I think it will keep my bread warm and toasty :)

It used about 1/2 yard of fabric, so my stash report this week is pretty slim.  But I'm chugging along again with my quilting again, and I expect to have more to report next week.

Overall, 11.75 yards in, 9 yards out.
Net for the year:  2.75 yards in.

Check out Judy's blog for everyone else's stash reports.
