Wednesday Workings, July 22, 2026


I enjoyed very much working on Klarity.  The purples were just soothing to sew with.  It is probably the cool colors that I am enjoying during these very hot and humid days we are experiencing of late.



Next to share with you today is the Teddy Bears cross stitch project.  Last I shared photos the bear with the blanket was not finished, but as you can see this cutie is done.  On to the next...


I have been working on this 2026 UFO, Confetti.  I had it layed out nicely on my design wall until a windy day two days back blew off lots of blocks where they had been placed.  Oh well, nothing is concrete until it is stitched together!  I also finished more blocks so perhaps the fill-ins will make it a little bit more pleasing.  Until this project, as yet unnamed, comes down off my design wall I won't move on to my mom's project #3 or my next project which is butterflies and pastel flowers.


This table runner came back from Kerry a few days ago.  I'm busy on the binding; about half way around now.  Wanted to share with you the cute quilting design in very bright green thread to match the fabric in the center and border.  Mom's going to love how I am using her stash.


Along with the table runner came Kommitted.  I want to bind it in this solid blue fabric, but I don't have enough.  Will be checking for more before I move on.  I did put the sleeve together so it is ready to go.

Have a wonderful Wednesday =^.^=


Design Wall Monday, July 20, 2026


Confetti is on my Design Wall this morning.  The pattern is called When Perfect Isn't the Point by Jemina Flendt.  The top row is sewn together.  This is what I was able to accomplish in January at Road to California Quilt Show earlier this year.  I used lots of scraps from previous projects to put this project together.  A BOM from Fat Quarter Shop provided enough background scraps, but I had to wait each month to get enough to finish it (plus a little help from Pam).


I am getting low on three fabrics to have a good variety, but I will continue with what I have.  I can always reduce the size if the reds take over too much.  Instead of 144 units (4 make a block), I can make it 100 units.  This would mean 5 blocks by 5 blocks instead of 6.  I would be happy with this smaller size instead.  I can't call this quilt Konfetti because I already have a quilt with that name.  Time to start considering what to call my Confetti =^.^=

Yeah it's a 2026 UFO!

Sunday Stash Report, July 19, 2026

 

This one is done!  Kordia Krunch came together since Wednesday.  I had a bit of a delay making up my mind on the inner border.  I thought a solid white until I found this half yard in my stash.  It has dots just enough not to be so stark.  It will be off to Kerry sometime this week.

Even though it was a Rosie's week...I stayed out of the store so there is only a USED to my stash this week. 

Used this week: 13.25 yards
Used YTD: 186.75 yards 
Purchased this week: 0 yards
Purchased YTD: 43.5 yards
Net used in 2026: 143.25 yards 

I will be working on one of the two workshops project that were started at Road to California earlier this year.  You will have to check out my Monday Design Wall post to see it.  It is a UFO and real far along.  I also have another of mom's projects to work on.  I think this project is the last of fabrics brought home with me last Fall.  Mom...make sure you let dad know that this Fall's trip I am coming to use up more!
