Sunday Stash Report, June 21, 2026

 

Thanks to Pam in getting me started on the blanket stitch that this project was needing to call it a finish.  I helped her with HSTs and she helped me with the scalloped edge.  Of all the hangers I own, I didn't have one that would fit just right, but this hanger will work just as well.  Now to decide where to hang this 2023 UFO...

Katchfly is also a complete finish.  The charcoal binding is perfect for the last touch on this Bonnie Hunter design called Moonflower.  As I worked on this project I thought about how a teal versus the yellow might be fun too.  One is enough for me with this design =^.^=

As for stash, I won't count the wool project of Love Is All You Need.  I will be claiming Kommitted that was finished earlier this week.  I am working now on Joe's ties that is a commissioned project for a Christmas Gift.  Oh boy, trying to update the 1994 pattern...wow we've come a long way quilters!  Nothing purchased this time, yeah.

Used this week: 11 yards
Used YTD: 165.5 yards 
Purchased this week: 0 yards
Purchased YTD: 36.5 yards
Net used in 2026: 129 yards

Wednesday Workings, June 17, 2026

Kommitted is done and on its way to Kerry.  This project turned out nice.  I am happy that the more red scrappy strip was replaced.  I pieced together the back using every bit of the pac-man fabric.  I added to the pac-man some blue strips on one side trying to stay with the theme of the top; I think I pulled it off.  Kerry should have it in her hands on Saturday.

Kerry is working on my Kittens quilt currently, but before she started on this one Katchfly was completed.  I received it and have already started on the binding.

Inside the Katchfly box was this cute turquoise cat fabric.  Thank you Kerry!  Parts of this will find their way into a project at some point.  I try to "hide" a cat in everything I sew =^.^=  That's it for this Wednesday.  I am having one very busy week with no signs of slowing down until Sunday.

Design Wall Monday, June 15, 2026

I am just as I was yesterday.  No sewing yesterday late afternoon and no sewing today.  Tomorrow for certain will have me in my favorite seat sewing away while listening to Theo of Golden.  

Today I set out for the routine Monday with Aqua Fit at LA Fitness.  It was different since the instructor, Mo, taught her last session last week.  Marissa is the new instructor for the time being.  She has been a standin for as long as I have been attending.

This afternoon several of us retired BAE Systems girl friends/coworkers met at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Escondido for lunch.  Learned sad news from two of the gals.  One has been undergoing cancer treatment, all is looking positive for her.  The second girl's husband passed away a while back.  Surprised at the revelation from both friends.

After a great catching up I picked up my new perscriptionglasses that I had been waiting on since May 20th.  Than headed over to Hobby Lobby to pick up a newly framed print that is mounted over our bed.  Wish my sewing machine was ready for pick up, but Paradise Sewing is closed on Mondays.

I came home to Katchfly from Kerry.  Just love the way Carnations Carnival stitched out in a silver thread.  I will be trimming it down later for binding to be stitched on soon.  She also gifted me with a FQ of turquoise cat fabric.  There should be some progress on Kommitted next time I post =^.^=

Book Club tomorrow at Spices Thai.  Book in review is one selected by me, We'll Prescribe You A Cat.
