Sunday Stash Report, May 3, 2015

Let me start out with fabrics from my stash for the May UFO project I will be working on during the month.  This is a little project which I'm excited about.  The greens, reds, golds, and dark ivorys will become the "packages" with the blue, solid green, and solid red the bows.  The "packages" start with just a 2 1/2" square.  There are 25 of them with four getting a bow.  The white will be the sashing with the green print becoming the outside border the red print the back and the stripe the binding.  Janet O. came up with a terrific name Kringle's Kargo.  How cute is that?

This next project is the Sunshine Quilt Guild April BOM.  We are to use a "peacock" fabric color in the shaded areas of the diagram and white around them.  There are two different block layouts.  Mine is Block 2.  There's a lot of pieces to this 10 1/2" finished block.

Kooter Klan
19" x 24"

I mentioned that I had lots of binding to do this past week.  I still have two more to finish yet.  Kooter Klan is a design by Karen Karen Brow called Newly Hatched.  This is the smaller bonus pattern that comes with the pattern.  Kerry did a wonderful job with the quilting.

Krazy Koons 2
18" x 26"

Krazy Koons 2 is going to my Mom.  Like I've done before the leftover blocks from the original pattern are set in some sort of fashion and assembled into small wall hangings.  I did make another flower and two more birds to finish this project.

My Clue Challenge is done and ready for June's Sunshine Quilt Guild meeting.  Let me say that it was very easy to put a name on my project!  It had size requirements that had it finish as a small project.  Lots of different fabrics, but not much by volume.  You'll see it soon enough.  Today I'm counting the yardage.  Now let me get busy again in the sewing room putting my UFO together.  Hope that you enjoy your week ahead.

Sunday Stash Report, August 24, 2014

 It is a splendid weekend in San Diego.  The weather has just been wonderful; not too hot for our near the coast home and cool enough for great sleeping.  I'll admit I stayed in bed a little longer this morning...  Nice!

I've been getting ready for my visit to Maryland.  The two small projects above need perle cotton stitching that I'll do on the long plane ride East.  The blocks are Buggy Barn designs leftover from their main projects (If The Hat Fits and Til' The Cows Come Home) that have been stashed away for a little while.  The perle cotton stitching will be on the moon and a motion swirl from the tip of the witch's hat to the star along with the lashes, pupils, and nostrils of the cows.  I also plan to stitch the eyes of the birds from my current Bird Brain project.

 I haven't spent much time except cutting the second stack of fabrics for my Bird Brain project.  I have been tackling my rug instead.  The top rows are the correct way to weave this project.  You may recall that Tiffany started weaving for her first time in July when she visited.  She got pretty far along and I picked up from where she left off.  Got to the midway point before realizing that the weaving was wrong. :(!  So as I weave the right way I'm pulling out the wrong.  The bottom rows all need to come out.  Thankfully I can use what is being removed.  Can you see the difference in the weave?

Nothing has changed either way with my stash.  Frankly I don't see that happening too much in the next couple of weeks unless my September UFO needs something.  Enjoy your week ahead.
