Design Wall Monday, February 2, 2026

 

My Design Wall is filled with Lupine & Laughter (2026 UFO).  I need to sew the blocks and rows together first.  The blue strips are the inner border.  I have my fingers crossed there is enough =^.^=  Finally, the pieced outter border is together and ready for what's next for them.

Kottages up in the corner is a 2022 UFO that needs to finish!!  First though is Lupine & Laughter.

This is Sunshine Quilters January BOM coordinated by Pam.  I thought making a candy box might be fun.  Thanks to you, I have several ideas for stitching a name on the ribbon.  While I was sleeping last night I had the idea "Cupid's Candies".  I may just have to put all the ideas in a hat and pull one!

Happy Ground Hogs Day

Sunday Stash Report, February 1, 2026

 

Kultivation is finished!  I just love it.  This is a Kim Diehl design called Scatter Garden.  It is one to check off my 2025 UFO List...YIPPEE =^.^=

Kwartz Kat is finished!  Yes everyone, another Halloween themed project.  This is a project called Onyx in Autumn by Jessica Dayon.  I seem to remember that Bernina who distributed the pattern had a series of seasonal table runners.  It is one to check off my 2025 UFO List...another YIPPEE =^.^=

It is obvious from my neutral stash alone that I am not sewing enough!  I am working today on Lupine & Laughter a 2026 UFO.  Then maybe I will get back to Kottages a 2022 UFO or the Fancy Feathers projects....

Wednesday Workings, January 28, 2026

I finished this block from the Kittens cross stitch pattern.  This is the third one to finish.

I started right in on the next block.  DH and I listen to a book for about an hour before sleeptime each night.  I'm either binding or in this case cross stitching while listening.  Right now we are listening to a book by Freida McFadden called Brain Damage.  We are about a third into the book.  As always her books are worth every minute.

I am not sure how I came by this orphan block.  I matched the floss and decided it needed to be finished. 

It has either come to me by way of my grandmother or mother or possibly my friend, Marla's sister.  There is only one so I think it will be usee in one of the red/white/blue charity quilts I plan to make.  (Yes it will be ironed first!)

Next up for a quick sew is a 2025 UFO.  This project has been coined Kwartz Kat.  All fabrics are leftover from previous projects.  I think this one has fabrics from at least two Spooky Boxes and the backbround came to me free from a friend.  I plan to use my Featherweight on this project so it will come with me on a Rosie's day if not finished at home first.

This project from the 2025 Jolly Box is also a UFO on my 2026 UFO list.  It has already been cut and waiting for a turn under the needle.  This will probably be a Rosie's day project.

The three remaining borders are done on Kultivation from the 2025 UFO list.  I will have this one done in the next few days.  Hope your Wednesday is perfect...stay warm and safe from snow and ice!  Think of me in San Diego soaking up high 70s temperature.  Oh, I can see the blimp flying over the golf tournament at Torrey Pines, La Jolla.  PGAs Farmers Insurance Open takes place this weekend.
