I'm only doing fill in for my extensive Kaffe stash (I have every fabric starting with #1 in the 1990s) so the amount I purchase wouldn't be the same as someone who is newer at purchasing Kaffe fabric. I usually only get 1/2 yard, which is the minimum on most online shops, of most of the fabrics. I get 1 yard if I recognize it as a winner right away. As far as which fabrics do I purchase from a new line, it is usually a color that grabs me or a design that I like, no other reason. I will usually not buy any larger yardage until it goes on sale the following year.</span></p>Exuberantcolor/Wanda S Hansonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00064308660138307797noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-73178831403466396322024-03-03T03:30:00.121-06:002024-03-03T10:04:00.210-06:00Sorting batik scraps.............<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKOdfbRvOovIJ9CwOJD2TeKXa4jur6o7jtiyYbrGqAyc4MxRSixwnXtacw4QDdcQa-aLG6gbsn2ahA2LQm_Sm17t47pakLPPgyF_XaUa-DlcbPE8-8qeNtuhyphenhyphen8N_qnt5YtWCjH-eP7MK3AMScdcN24doyXZA_JFsJt5e5knjLC7aVPxHTiWIlgy6aTp_3B/s2000/2%20bins%20full%20of%20batik%20scraps.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1848" data-original-width="2000" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKOdfbRvOovIJ9CwOJD2TeKXa4jur6o7jtiyYbrGqAyc4MxRSixwnXtacw4QDdcQa-aLG6gbsn2ahA2LQm_Sm17t47pakLPPgyF_XaUa-DlcbPE8-8qeNtuhyphenhyphen8N_qnt5YtWCjH-eP7MK3AMScdcN24doyXZA_JFsJt5e5knjLC7aVPxHTiWIlgy6aTp_3B/w400-h370/2%20bins%20full%20of%20batik%20scraps.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">There were 2 bins of batik scraps on my tables in the basement.

Then I weighed a one yard piece of batik and it weighs 3.5 oz. 78 oz. divided by 3.5 oz. = 22.285 yards of fabric. Wow, that was a surprise! Even if I rounded one yard up to 4 oz. (4 yards per lb.) it would be = to 19.5 yards.

Most of the storm went slightly north of us but we had hail and rain at 7. Because of all of the severe weather heading toward Chicago, the weather people were on the air until 8:30 so I missed all of the first FBI show and half of each of the next 2 shows. They came back on a little after 9 for the last tornado warning at the Indiana border. I can catch repeats of the last 2 shows on Saturday night but since I watched half of each I think I'll skip them. </span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOnVv88si_hor-izx9TG55RsKHq-VmtHFDRJadJmr4ygImqhqWb4U1cxLmnmp05gH9avUqepWIG2ked1KiGDPeMl3IJLcB9tGf0AlGewWTnacIbHy42EHpwmHwTEmhUV6uvhaKQa_32YTS_tkXrsl-JVMKVp4pE3pddwCcLtyp9PeDeFo9Cmdv-Sj92aTt/s2000/orange%20cacti%20feb%2024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOnVv88si_hor-izx9TG55RsKHq-VmtHFDRJadJmr4ygImqhqWb4U1cxLmnmp05gH9avUqepWIG2ked1KiGDPeMl3IJLcB9tGf0AlGewWTnacIbHy42EHpwmHwTEmhUV6uvhaKQa_32YTS_tkXrsl-JVMKVp4pE3pddwCcLtyp9PeDeFo9Cmdv-Sj92aTt/w400-h300/orange%20cacti%20feb%2024.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The orange cactus is blooming.

I'll do that today and show the finished top tomorrow. I have a 36" flannel top I pieced in December that just needs a border or more squares to make it larger so I might work on that today. I'll have a marathon of finishing flannel quilts in March.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It got up to 63 degrees yesterday and 68 predicted for today. Way too warm for February so I'm worried about the bushes setting buds for their blooms which could freeze later and then no blooms for the real spring more than a month from now.</span></p>Exuberantcolor/Wanda S Hansonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00064308660138307797noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-7288302090186185702024-02-25T03:30:00.009-06:002024-02-25T03:30:00.138-06:00Working on project 2...............<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUIPC39MFnIA4dxvNtukOcijT08dTagBgoavsMR5yvCMj_9bo_5WXJEQ3pZ6LxN6gcnlWsiceJoAbcVs3lOXaNY3MI1AWf9VqvnZVx2UKD9wwW82YJNppS1405Zyc1MScOUhafI0hT9woIHPOBD_2F2qo0x6g6KUF0cfeLNswA1smYJvh9E76kGnTnyUmo/s2000/comparing%20flannel%205%20rows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1680" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUIPC39MFnIA4dxvNtukOcijT08dTagBgoavsMR5yvCMj_9bo_5WXJEQ3pZ6LxN6gcnlWsiceJoAbcVs3lOXaNY3MI1AWf9VqvnZVx2UKD9wwW82YJNppS1405Zyc1MScOUhafI0hT9woIHPOBD_2F2qo0x6g6KUF0cfeLNswA1smYJvh9E76kGnTnyUmo/w538-h640/comparing%20flannel%205%20rows.jpg" width="538" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Yesterday I mentioned that I wasn't sure if I was going to leave the 4 patches in the layout.
