Wednesday Workings, May 13, 2026

Sharing with you today is Kepler.  A completion before a UFO =^.^=  This comes to me via a friend's sister.  It is the last project to finish that I have from her.  This will be a charity quilt.

I am still working on Kittens, but hope to have it into a top this week.  I have all the fabrics needed to pass on to Kerry.  Next up on the design wall will be September Sky.  September Sky will fill every inch of my huge design wall.  After September Sky comes down Moonflower will take its place.

In the evening I have a binding project to work on that should be done by Friday.  Friday is Rosie's Sew Day =^.^=

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Design Wall Monday, May 11, 2026

 

Today I stayed in my comfy chair with two cats and charity quilts to bind.  I finished all three of these in time for tomorrow's guild meeting.  I also sewed in place several of my own projects labels.  Tonight I have another quilt to work on and then there is one more after that to finish.  Kittens is on my Design Wall as I last shared with you.  September Sky is next up since I finished all the blocks at the retreat I attended this past weekend.  I need a day of rest after the last three days!

Tomorrow's Sunshine Guild Meeting is the annual challenge reveal.  I just didn't have the time to finish mine or frankly start it.  I did have a pattern to springboard into and will make it this year yet.  It was difficult to come up with seven different techniques in a project.  I didn't have any issue with seven different colors.  It is a terrific challenge.  I am looking forward to sharing my grandmother's handiwork.  My maternal grandmother was a quilter and enjoyed stitchery.  I just finished scrambling her projects up to load in the car.  I also have a project from my maternal uncle that is knitted that I'll bring as well.

I'm in for bringing goodies too =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, May 10, 2026

 

Happy Mothers Day!  Today is the day to celebrate our mothers.  In the past I would have my mom with me at the annual Sunshine Quilt Guild Retreat.  Mom isn't traveling as she once did so I miss her (and so do the others at the Retreat).  One of the activities this year was to bring a photo of your mom.  I had to dig deep because most everyone's mom is not known to the rest of us.  My mom photo was her at La Jolla Cove taken in the 90s.  It actually stumped some that know her.  Happy Mothers Day (as well as Grandmothers).

We have a token exchange and door prizes each year.  This was my winnings; less an excellent cookie from Christy =^.^=

I had hoped to get much further along than one block on Moonflower, but I didn't check my project container one last time to make sure it was complete.  Sadly, I was missing the 2 1/2" neutral squares.  I was able to find enough to make one block and this is it darn it all.  I did get all the HSTs sewn.  This was the first project to tackle.  I put it away and started in on September Sky.

September Sky took me all weekend.  I had all the individual units of the two different blocks sewn in my project container.  Thankfully I didn't forget anything here.  The blocks at the top took me all day Friday and Saturday; finishing up on Sunday morning.  They will get ironed next and onto the design wall once Kittens is together and off the design wall.

No other projects were worked on (I had two others...just in case).  No quilt shops in Temecula currently.  Not a place to shop and not a finished project.  Stash stays the same as last week.
