Wednesday Workings, January 14, 2026

I've put all the Block 1s together on Lupine & Laughter.  They are so pretty.  I don't think I've ever sewn these three colors together in one quilt.

The Block 2s are yet to stitch.  Here is the first of them ready to go.  Just need to drag myself away from Scatter Garden.

These units are already done in previous parts.  The fun comes with figuring out which units go best with connecting units.  It really is so scrappy that in the end it won't matter on bit.

Scatter Garden is in the applique portion of the last four blocks before borders.  I am doing the applique on all four at the same time.  Progress to share with you will be slow, but then BAM, you will see them all at the same time.  I'm hoping for a reveal on Sunday.

I've also been cutting more for the workshop "Perfect Isn't the Point" that is next Tuesday.  I have enough cut that should get me through the time I will have to spend during the class.  I'm anxious to use the leftovers from Scatter Garden for the remaining pieces.

Hope all is right in your sewing room =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, January 12, 2026

 

Scatter Garden covers my design wall today.  I am working on the last four blocks that have some applique in them.  There was an alternate star instead of one with the applique, but the applique block was call out to be done.  I will have progress to share on my Working Wednesday post.

This was the last part released and the reveal.  Oh my this quilt is lovely.  These pieces make the block you see above.  Putting this one together shouldn't take too long.  I need to decide if one of the four ice blue fabrics will work for the inner border or if I should look for something else on Friday when it's a Rosie's day.

Sunday Stash Report, January 11, 2026

Let's us start out with the second finish of the year.  Home for the Holly Days a 2026 UFO is ready for quilting.  I like how this medallion quilt looks.  I did work it all the way through with scraps from previous month's deliveries.  The only one I will need is the last one that contains the binding fabric.  Of course I need to come up with a "K" name.  Working on this =^.^=

There was so much fabric left from the Home for the Holly Days project and Katniss (Garnets & Lillies) that I decided to use all up for the When Perfect Isn't the Point workshop.  The Confetti pattern takes 288 3.5" by 6.6" prints and background; should be easy to get that from what's left.  (I can see a name for this project already...Konfetti).  The workshop is next week so I'm getting ready.

Scatter Garden and Lupine & Laughter are under the needle and on the design wall.  I'm most anxious to get Scatter Garden in the "prep" phase on the last four blocks that all have applique units.  These two are on the UFO list along with Confetti.  Drop back in tomorrow to see progress on my projects.

Another finish to account for this week in Home for the Holly Days!
