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 =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, November 2, 2026

 

Finished cutting out this UFO yesterday.  I'll have light purple, pink, and gray bunnies.  The pink strips to the left are for the bunny ears.  It looks real close to the pink that will be one of the bunnies, but it does stand out just enough.  The three purples will make up the sashing, corner stones, and outside border.  I think there will be enough to use the purple at the bottom of the fabric stack as the backing.  The oranges are the carrots with the same green fabric for the greens.  I plan to work on this project later this week at Rosie's (it's a two day).  The pattern is from Suzanne's Art House called Springtime Bunny.

I will continue on with the cutting of this UFO today.  So far the border, the carrot and the background are cut.  The stash of fabric on the right will be used for most of the other pieces.  I'm making the project shown at the bottom with the pink border, Mini Spring Trios by Suzanne's Art House.  When reading through the pattern I realized I needed appropriate buttons.  I could have worked to find all the buttons, but I gave Suzanne a jingle and presto; she mailed them out this past Saturday.  This project will be sewn at home so I can be as precise as possible with these little 2" finished blocks.

I will probably pull out another UFO and start the cutting.  For 2026 UFO List I have one more to go; #12 Tiny Piecing. 

For 2026-2027 Sunshine UFO List I have three more to go.  This end date is June 2027.  Deliver Joy (2021), Piecing is Fine (2024), and Get Together (2024).  Which one would you start next?

Sunday Stash Report, November 1, 2026

 

My Teddy Bear project is into a top.  It turns out that this is the last Jack Dempsey stamped cross stitch pattern I had in my pattern stash.  The last three patterns are all stitchery.  Puppies is next on the agenda.  I should be very proficient at the back stitch in the coming days.  I will have Teddy Bear sized up for a back tomorrow; then soon on its way to Kerry.

Last week I got this charity quilt back from Christy.  These fabrics were left over from Katydid.  I love using a stripe for the binding.  This binding was put on horizontal.  The back came from the Lorna managed Cuddle Quilt stash.  Can you make out the pumpkins in the quilting?

For this first day of November here is my stash numbers...impressive in my opinion.

Used this week: 5 yards
Used YTD: 259 yards 
Purchased this week: 0 yards
Purchased YTD: 65.75 yards
Net used in 2026: 193.25 yards
