Kloggs arrived at my sisters home.  Here it is on her bed...perfect!

I was busy with Kozy Korners when stitching was going on.

Kourtepointe came back from Kerry so there was some prep work happening with the trimming down, sleeve, and binding.  Today the plan is to work on it and a garter!  I am having fun with these.

More quilters using up their stash this past week.  Enjoy the quilting through the links at Patchwork Times.  

Design Wall Monday, April 10, 2017

The biggest finish on Sunday was the binding for Kloggs.  This quilt gets to travel as soon as I can find a box large enough to hold it!  It measures 120" x 103".  It was such a happy sight to see the other end of the binding!  DH thinks we should look for an area rug in these colors as it brightens up the living room.  Maybe the drapes need changing, because I will not be covering up my new carpet.  Karen is going to be happy with this quilt.

I am working to finish up the sham that will match the twin quilt I made for my parents guest room.  Kerry will get it tomorrow to put some quilting on the top that matches what was used on Kozy Korners.

Kanton Kull is next on the table.  Chapter 4 is in progress...  See other projects through the links at Patchwork Times.

Design Wall Monday, April 3, 2017

The day was just to beautiful to stay home...  We went out for Brunch instead!  I did get a few rows of Kissin' Korner 2 sewn together though while waiting for dinner to cook.

Kanton Kull is back out of its storage to be worked on after Kissin' Korners 2 is complete.  I have all pieces cut out for Chapter 4 and the first of the units sewn.  Still quite a bit to go to close the "chapter" on this round.

Mom likes having a sham on the beds in her home.  These are the scraps from Kozy Korners that a sham is planned for.  It won't be identical to the design of the quilt, but it will have the color and some of the fabrics for a 24" x 32" sham.

There was also time to stitch the binding around Kloggs.  Let me say that took a bit of time for the 103" x 120" quilt for my sister.  I started to do the hand work, but became too involved in the last of the remaining episodes of Downton Abbey to do much more than a little over 18".

So much I want done like yesterday...  Hope you have a wonderful first week of April =^.^=.  Hook up with the links at Patchwork Times.

Kissin' Korner 2
2017 UFO

This post is a bit late, but Dancing With The Stars was on last night.  Not to mention that DH had pulled out a new recipe from the Sunday paper that I had all ingredients to make.  Time slipped by...

The second Kissin' Korner 2 (design by Bonnie Hunter, Kiss in the Corner) is on my wall.  The sashing and setting triangles need stitching to finish this project.  I have 120 of the 168 finished.

Using nothing but Stash is awesome!  Likely these last 2" strips will get me to that 168 unit requirement.  Kissin' Korner had yellow setting triangles; thinking about blue for this project.

On Saturday from Kerry's I brought home two gift quilts.  Karen needed a new king for her bed, so Kloggs was made.  Black binding is planned for this one.

Don't you just love the feather quilting design?

Mom needed a twin for her multi-purpose room (guest/office/sewing room).  My parents love a patriotic quilt so Kozy Korners was made.

I'm not so certain what color the binding fabric should be at the moment.  Red, gold, and blue are all options...

I hope your week goes exactly as you hope it will.  Check out more projects through the links at Patchwork Times.

Sunday Stash Report, October 16, 2016

It is nice to have a finish this 43rd week of 2016.  Kloggs took a bit of time to finish, but mainly because of its size.  A whopping 102" x 120".  A trip to Beverly's Fabrics along with a very nice 30% discount brings the back to the sewing table for piecing.  This one is ready for Kerry's Quilting...  Happy dance going on =^.^=

I won't be adding in the 11 yards (oh my) since I would be taking it right off my statistics.  I will need to add in these last two purchases though.  One from the "Fall" themed table at Sunshine Quilt Guild monthly this past Tuesday.  What a steal to find this all too cute Halloween fabric.

The second purchase goes towards the making of Karduus.  I had hoped to find more of the salmon colored fabric pictured in the middle.  Not too worried about that though as I probably have all I need for this project.  Karduus is the next one on the sewing table and design wall.  It is also a 2016 UFO.  More on that tomorrow when I have several of the nine-patch blocks assembled.  This one will come together fast, don't blink :)

For this week a nice change...

Used this week:  17.75 yards
Used YTD:  170 yards
Purchased this week:  4.25 yards
Purchased YTD:  104.75 yards
Net used in 2016:  65.25 yards

There are more quilters using up their fabrics.  See what else is going on through the links that Judy has on her blog.

Some of you are lucky to have today off, but not me :(  I have a full five day week ahead.  I am pretty sure that Kloggs will see a finish this week!

Kloggs (top section)

Kloggs (bottom section)

I have the black outer border to sew in place and this project will be ready for quilting.  My Sister sounds pretty excited about this quilt becoming hers.  That puts a smile to my face :)

Kayenne

You may remember Kayenne that I finished earlier this year.  Kerry finished the quilting.  I picked it up Friday and trimmed it down on Sunday.  It will take nine WOW strips to get around this one.  I have a gold fabric picked out for the binding.  Lots of stitching time ahead for me.

Sunshine Quilt Guild monthly meeting is tomorrow night.  Enjoy your week!

Sunday Stash Report, October 9, 2016

Besides working on Kloggs most of this past week there has been a few other things under the needle.

Anita with Sunshine Quilt Guild had us make this cute block design in Halloween fabrics.  Of course a 'kat" had to be in my fabric.  Anita supplied us with the yellow and gray fabrics.  I have seen a few of the completed blocks made by other members which are all quite cute.  I would be happy if my name were drawn to win all the blocks.

Kerry and I finished the top for the 2016 November/December Bimonthly Sunshine Quilt Guild Opportunity Quilt.  Kerry will be quilting it sometime this week so that we will be ready for ticket selling at the November meeting.  We will be splitting the fabric from stash since we took from both of ours.  That's the used for this week.

Used this week:  2.5 yards
Used YTD:  152.25 yards
Purchased this week:  0 yards
Purchased YTD:  100.5 yards
Net used in 2016:  51.75 yards

Hope you are enjoying the cooler weather.  Have a wonderful week!

I love to celebrate...today is a good day to do it too!  It's my Birthday as one of my birthday cards says.  Of course it is one of those singing cards that has a rap style song with cats in the choir.  Cheesecake and a cupcake were my goodies.  Thanks for all the Facebook wishes and along with cards and goodies that are still to come.

DH brought home dinner, in part because I claimed I wasn't cooking or picking up dinner on my way home.  We had Mexican carry out, which was fine for a middle of the work week meal.  We will be dining out in style on Friday with friends.  Best yet I get to select the place.

UFO coordinator Marti let us know that for October we are to work on #7.  That makes three UFOs that I need to catch up on before the end of the month to get caught up.  I'm close on #6 Kloggs.  Not started on #3 Kardus except pulling fabric.  Kardus still needs a background to be acquired.  Now I have #7 Knikknakk.  Wow do I have a lot of stitching to accomplish this month!  Speaking of sewing I best get my Pfaff going =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, October 3, 2016

So happy to see how Kloggs is looking...finally.  As you can see this is just a corner of this king sized project.  I haven't started assembly yet.  I hope to make progress on it tonight while watching Dancing With The Stars.

These units are what will fill in the other three corners.  All of these units are sewn and trimmed.  Ready for some wall space to make sure the colors work together throughout the quilt.

That inside sashing that I worked on today after work only needs the corners trimmed away...yes I did make bonus HSTs :)

These two are sewn now.  The two different units of the outside border.

Give me some hours all to Kloggs and this project will be put together in no time.  Not too much left of my Monday...  It is a short work week for me; just maybe Friday will be some uninterrupted sewing.  One can only hope =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, October 2, 2016

Kerry and I have been working on November/December 2016 Sunshine Quilt Guild's Bimonthly Opportunity Quilt.  We have combined some of our group swap projects to have enough of the right colors to make a Christmas Wall Hanging.  Not sure what the size will be yet.

These are three of the blocks that will be a total of 16.

Saturday we sewed most of the blocks and played around a bit with sashing, corner stones and outside border.  As you can see all the blocks were not sewn before we started playing around.  Things might change still!

I finished the binding on my Halloween gift to Luke and Logan.  It will be in the mail tomorrow.

Nothing to change my stats this week.  I am still working on Kloggs; see more tomorrow on my UFO project.  Enjoy our first week of October =^.^=

It is all about Kloggs right now.  This won't be a UFO finish this month sadly.  There just haven't been enough sewing days for me.  This is a King size finish if I didn't mention already.

The next pieces (the outside pieces pictured above) are ready for trimming.  I am referring to the units at the bottom with the square touching.  The other units are more of the middle that won't fit on my design wall.

The last to be sewn is the outside border.  It has some clever units that continue the design from the center of the quilt.  This will be my project through the weekend.  Likely this will be a finish on Sunday.  Wish me luck!

Sunday Stash Report, September 25, 2016

I have been doing a bit of sewing this week.  There is a finish to share, a possibility for a bimonthly opportunity quilt, and Kloggs.

The finish is a promised Halloween quilt for the Buh Boys.  My nephew's sons, yep there last name is Buh that is pronounced Boo, will get this quilt that I personalized in part to fill up some of the panel's candy corn background.  The two boys are young with the oldest just starting first grade this year.  They shared a quilt I sent them last year; now they will be able to have one of their own.  Kerry will be quilting it this week with the pattern Ghostly in white thread.

I'll have the binding ready when Kerry is done.  The quilting should give it an eerie feel as the ghosts fly around on all the different colors.  I just love using stripes on the diagonal for bindings.  

Next up is a possibility for Sunshine's November/December Bimonthly Opportunity Quilt.  Kerry and I are using up our SWAP projects in this quilt if we decide to go forward.  It is a Bonnie Hunter design called Charlotte's Basket from her String Fling book.

Kloggs is the big project I am spending my time on.  While I assemble the blocks for the second border.  The project has three borders with the last one being dark blacks.  As I gaze at my design wall I wonder about the fabric choice for the inner border.  Dark blacks are suggestion from pattern that I will probably stick with.

So for my fabric stats this week a reduction in my stash =^.^=

We've welcomed in Fall this week.  The talk is that with Fall it is quilting time!  I can't wait to get back into the swing of sewing.  My quilting time has been pretty limited lately with everything else that has been going on.  That my friends is changing today...

Kalvert Kliffs
72" x 84"

Kalvert Kliffs was finished during the week.  The quilting on this one is lovely.  Kerry never disappoints me.  The quilting design is called Jovial Feathers and a maple color thread was used.  It reminds me of Fall so I am happy to have this up in my foyer right now.  Did you bring out your Fall themed quilts?  I have several of mine up which brings a smile to my face.

Kloggs In Work
102" x 120"

There has been no change this past week to my stash numbers...and...my design wall continues to hold Kloggs.  I have most of the piecing done so it shouldn't take much time to finish.

First though, I am putting together a cute Halloween quilt for my nephew's sons Luke and Logan.  Last year they shared a Halloween quilt; this year they will both have one of their own.

If you want to learn more about Kalvert Kliffs and Kloggs use the Labels box on the right.  I hope to see you visit me on Sunday.  Happy Friday =^.^=
