Sunday Stash Report, October 18, 2026

 

I finished the Dr. Seuss ABC top on Friday.  I got the backing that was pieced together on Saturday.  This will be for Sunshine Charity.  Christy has agreed to quilt it.  If timing works right it should be available for the Summers Past Farm Craft Fair the first week of December.  (More coming on this event in the near future.)

The rest of my Saturday sewing was on the second Flutter quilt.  This continued on through today.  This is a commissioned project for a little girl for Christmas.  I do have another strip of the background/border fabric to fill in the gaps you see in the photo.  The butterfly blocks/rows are not sewn together quite yet.  This will be my Monday project.  Kerry is having some work done in her home so she's not ready for me to send her quilting projects at the moment.

I picked up this pattern for the Chopped: Quilting Edition Challenge that we have going on this month with the guild.  I will be using all four of the fabrics that were in my #14 bag.  It will go on to be another project for the Summers Past Farm Craft Fair.

Wednesday Workings, October 14, 2026

Not much time for sewing since Monday.  I squared up the ABCs and fitted the piano keys to the sides.  The top and bottom need more keys to make it all the way to the corners.  I thought it would be cute to add the four patch blocks to the corners instead of having keys all the way across.  I like what I see so far.

At Sunshine Quilt Guild meeting we all were presented with a bag from a random number drawing.  I pulled 14.  This is called a Chopped: Quilters Edition Challenge.  Participants are to make something with the fabrics in the bag and any other fabrics from their stash for a project that would be sold at Summers Past the first part of December.  Sky is the limit.  This is due at the November meeting for sharing.

I won a door prize!

Have a great Wednesday =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, October 12, 2026

 

Here is Witches Feet.  I'm calling it Kornier.  I finished this simple table runner along with the next couple of projects just today.  I had made Elf Feet a little while ago and couldn't pass up a very similar pattern.  Halloween is a perfect month for way too many designs that are hard to pass up =^.^=

Here is Owls and Pumpkins.  I'm calling this one Kryptic.  I will be sending this off to Greyson and Levi.  The pattern was purchased with Greyson who was three years old and enamored by owls.  Now at six the fasination is likely gone.  Word has it that Levi is into birds now so it might work out best for him.  I will leave that decision to Tiffany.

Finally, Kreams (Popsicles) is ready for springtime.  These sherbert popsicles are cute twisting and turning across this table runner.  Kerry used an ice cream quilting design in light green thread.  It turned out very cute.

I've been very busy getting these projects ready for sharing at Sunshine Quilt Guild October meeting that there hasn't been much progress on Dr. Seuss ABCs.  I'm still at the part of trimming down the blocks to be equal size.

Enjoy your week.
