Design Wall Monday, June 1, 2026

 

Klarity is on my design wall today.  My goal of stitching all the rows together was a bit too lofty.  I did get stitched the right side.  I will start at the top left and work towards the middle when I pick this up again.

I have started Kommitted.  The first part is done.  I am working on the second part now.  

The photo above is what this project will look like when finished.

Katchfly is finished.  I pressed it along with the backing yesterday.  Today it will be packaged up along with Kittens and some strips of gray for Kerry's Moonflower.  I have found a charocal large enough for the binding that will be ready for this project when it returns.  This is a 2026 UFO.  I have only four 2026 UFOs left to finish =^.^=

I also finished Love Is All You Need a 2023 UFO.  This was a tough project for me because it was wool and embroidery stitches that I had never executed before.  I will be looking for the appropriate clip board to mount it on.  I still have one 2023 UFO left to finish =^.^=

I have rows to sew together and the border to put on Klarity.  I finished all the blocks at the annual guild retreat earlier this month.  Believe it or not I don't have enough black or purple for the borders and neither enough for backing.  It is a Rosie's sew week where I will be looking for what I need to finish this Bonnie Hunter project called September Sky.  (I will photograph better next time!)

Kommitted is on the table.  Kommitted is from Lissa Alexander, All People Quilt February 2026 issue called True Blue.  Come back tomorrow to see where I am with this next sewing project.

Wednesday Workings, May 27, 2026

 

Here is where I stand with Love is all you need...  I have finished the outline of the heart and the thread that shoots off from the Fly Stitch.

This is where I need to teach myself how to accomplish the Fly Stitch.  Note on the heart outline where it goes.  I decided to mark the wool to help me out a bit.  My first try on the heart had stitches way too small.  Rip out the stitches insued =^.^=  This is a more or less night time sewing project so you know what I will be up to tonight.

I have the last blocks of the two rows sewn together.  I will need a bit more time tomorrow to add them to the top portion.  Then the back needs to be prepared.  It took a long time ironing these blocks.

Kringle's Kaps came back from Kerry.  Look close how she was able to help bring out the pompoms and the bands on this way too busy quilt.  I auditioned three fabrics to use for the binding and both of us came to the conclusion the top would be calmed down with a solid red binding.  So that ends my Wednesday!
