Wednesday Workings, August 5, 2026

I was able to get the fabric needed for Kommitted.  No thanks to Kassy (one of my kitties), I was able to finish the binding.  I'm happy to use both my mom's and my stash with Kommitted.  I am finally starting to see a small dent in my neutrals!

I trimmed down Mom's Table Runner 2 and the Tie quilt ready to add the binding.  One binding is ready to go and the other needs to be prepared.  

In the meantime I have been working on Spider & The Fly.  Cutting units and sewing the many hour glass units.  This is a fun block unit that I enjoy making.  I have block units sewn for two blocks right now.  I will sew together when I have more so that the fabric mixes are the most pleasing.  

I skipped Aqua Fit today to give my toe more time to heal from my stumble on Friday night.  I found out running into a chair leg in the middle of the night can break a toe.  I was at the doctor's office yesterday and brought up my very bruised toe.  She sent me to get xrays.  Turns out that my middle toe is fractured.  Not much can be done except to keep weight off and tape.  I haven't taped, but as I said time to keep activity level and leg propped up for a few days.  

Enjoy your Wednesday

Design Wall Monday, August 3, 2026

It doesn't look like much now, but this is the beginning of Spider & The Fly.  This is the last of the fabrics that I pulled together from my mom's stash to make a Bonnie Hunter design.  Mom didn't have much in these colors, but I did manage to pull some blacks and oranges.  The tool you see is Bonnie's Essential Triangle Tool.  First step is to make lots of hour glass units.  Most of the units will be black/neutral and about a quarter of them in black/grey.  The neutrals are all coming from my stash.  This should be a good chunk of fabric from my stash too.

Today I received two projects from Kerry.  Can't wait to share them with you once the binding is in place.  

I also got a couple of gifts.  Thanks a bunch Kerry.  Until the next time =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, August 2, 2026

 

I had a helper this weekend.  Don and Rita were our house guests for the weekend.  The "boys" like playing video golf (lots of it) so Rita and I are left to entertain ourselves.  I have this project for Sunshine Quilt Guild going on to reduce the overwhelming amount of donated fabric that is part of the Cuddle Quilt Program,  My Accuquilt Big Go! was working overtime cutting 10" and 5" squares for making layer cakes and charm packs.  Rita is a crafter, but not a quilter.  She picked up the 5" square template and ran with it.  We have nearly cleared a large tote pan of fabrics :)

Next came the part of coordinating squares into cakes or packs.  It takes a lot of variety to bring one together.  We managed to make four this time around.  Later I will be meeting up with Lorna of Sunshine Quilt Guild to get more from the stash to create more cakes and packs with that variety I spoke about.

Looking forward to making these cakes and packs available for a screaming deal; just one quarter of the price of fabric.

Nothing to share that changes my stash since all that we did was use Sunshine Quilt Guild fabrics =^.^=
