I was able to finish the top of Kan of Korn.  You will have to ask your baseball expert why this project has been called Kan of Korn.  Tossed Nine-Patch started the opening week of MLB.  I had been waiting on the ric rac and the corner stone fabric.  All other fabric comes from stash.  It is small finishing just 17" x 24".  It is another UFO from the 2026 list done!

This is the 1/4 yard of fabric that came in from ETSY supplier purplepapermountain that allowed me to finish Kan of Korn as I had hoped for.  Wait until you see the perfect stripe fabric I found for the binding.

I am off to finishing Looking Glass.  Happy Wednesday my friends =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, April 6, 2026

Krokus is a 2022 UFO that came out of storage last week.  It isn't very large; finishes at 4" square.  I am struggling to pull away from Kittens.  The cross stitch is so easy and relaxing to work on.  I will do it though and it might just be tonight.

Love Is All You Need a 2023 UFO was tucked away right next to Krokus so it came out of storage too.  Both Krokus and Love Is All You Need are Primitive Gatherings designs in wool.  Love Is All You Need is small too; finishing at 8" x 10".

Moonflower cutting has commenced!  I am happy with the charcoal variety that is available for the project.  Moonflower is a 2026 UFO.  There are 216 HSTs using light gray and charcoal.  I only need 20 more HST units to cut at this point.

Two other projects have kept me busy.  First up is from mom's stash mostly.  I added in the sashing and cornerstone fabrics.  As hard as I tried a back for this charity quilt is not among my stash.  I will wait for a Hobby Lobby sale week and pick something up.  A sewing day on Friday at Rosie's gave me enough time to put 30 blocks together for Looking Glass.  There is background sashing to add between the five rows along with a coordinating fabric for the binding.  I hope to find something in my stash for a back.

The start of another week =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, April 5, 2026

Happy Easter!  I wanted to start off with finishes on this beautiful day.  Krested (aka Fancy Feathers Bird Topper by Karen Brow of Java House Quilts) is ready for our table.  This is a UFO from a class with Karen arranged by Sunshine Quilt Guild in October.  It wasn't a UFO for too long.  Most of the reason for not finishing right away was the way the pattern finished just too narrow for my liking.  I added the top and the bottom beyond the birds finally making it just right for us.

Karpenter (Honey Bee's In Lavender Table Runner by Debbie Beaves) is another table runner finished for our table.  By the way Carpenter is a type of bee if you didn't know.  This project came to me as a kit.  It is rather small, but it's darn cute for the summer.  I had to really search hard for a lavender thread for the binding.  It seems I am not a big lavender quilter LOL.  This project was started in February.  It isn't a UFO; one of the few being stitched right now.

Kristmas Karoling (Mistletoe Moments 2025 Jolly Box by Fat Quarter Shop) is the last finish of the three that came back from Kerry this past week.  It was started in August last year and is ready for the holidays this year.  I am hoping the scraps of red fabric in the large gift box is enough for another project in my queue.  This is the last project of the mystery boxes I have been getting from Fat Quarter Shop to finish.  This is a UFO with a surprise fabric used for the back...

I did bring home several pieces of fabric for various projects that are being stitched right now.  Learn about all of these in tomorrow's Design Wall Monday post.
