Design Wall Monday, November 9, 2026

I have all the units sewn.  They will need to be pressed as I put this project together.  I can't believe I'm this close to a finish from a pattern that goes back so many years ago when it was acquired.  You know there is always something that comes along bringing new excitement.  I am happy with this project that has yet to find a name.

Now it is back to binding.  One finished and two to go!

eBay just delivered the Campers pattern...

Sunday Stash Report, November 8, 2026

This project Springtime Bunny by Suzanne's Art House is adorable.  I have to admit that I messed up and then fixed that mess between the bunny ears.  Yep, I used the rabbit fabric instead of the background fabric.  It became very noticeable when I put it on my design wall.  Next I have eyes and noses to applique.  I have cut the backing.  Not sure what I will grab from stash for the binding.

My second project Piecing is Fine by Country Threads has moved on quite a bit since the two days at Rosie's.  I will start putting it together into a top tomorrow.

I picked up some lady bugs, frogs, and a variety of peek-a-boo critters in Jack Dempsey stamped cross stitch patterns.  I have one more to arrive.  I am working on a Jack Dempsey stitchery puppy design currently which I will share with you soon.

These two are more patterns I have recently become the new owner.  Thank you Karen for Tiny Town and La Vie en Rose from the recent publication in American Patchwork & Quilting.

I don't see any finishes soon on the new patterns, but I certainly have them in my collection to make some day.  Today I claim used the Halloween Charity, Chopped: Quilting Edition, Butterfly 2, and Springtime Bunny.

Used YTD: 283.25 yards 
Purchased this week: 0 yards
Purchased YTD: 65.75 yards

Wednesday Workings, November 4, 2026

 

I have been steady working on Piecing is Fine project.  I am much further along than what you see pictured.  All but the outside star blocks are cut.  I have also marked diagonally when required; all the stars need the marking of the star tips.  There are a lot of stars in this design.  This project is a Sunshine 2026-2027 UFO and also on my personal 2024 UFO List.

I also marked all the required pieces on the Springtime Bunny table runner.  This one has dual UFO lists to mark off.  Sunshine 2026-2027 and on my 2026 UFO List.  I am getting lots ready for Rosie's two day sewing this week.

Get Together will have a great start.  I already have perhaps half the 9-patches done out of the 145 required.  The 9-patches are the lion share of the sewing on this project.  This one has dual UFO lists to mark off; Sunshine 2026-2027 UFO and my personal 2024 UFO List.

Four UFOs In Work!

Tim and I had our flu and COVID shots yesterday.  Neither of us had a reaction last year and fingers crossed it doesn't happen this time around.  Have an enjoyable Wednesday =^.^=
