Wednesday Workings, October 14, 2026

Not much time for sewing since Monday.  I squared up the ABCs and fitted the piano keys to the sides.  The top and bottom need more keys to make it all the way to the corners.  I thought it would be cute to add the four patch blocks to the corners instead of having keys all the way across.  I like what I see so far.

At Sunshine Quilt Guild meeting we all were presented with a bag from a random number drawing.  I pulled 14.  This is called a Chopped: Quilters Edition Challenge.  Participants are to make something with the fabrics in the bag and any other fabrics from their stash for a project that would be sold at Summers Past the first part of December.  Sky is the limit.  This is due at the November meeting for sharing.

I won a door prize!

Have a great Wednesday =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, October 12, 2026

 

Here is Witches Feet.  I'm calling it Kornier.  I finished this simple table runner along with the next couple of projects just today.  I had made Elf Feet a little while ago and couldn't pass up a very similar pattern.  Halloween is a perfect month for way too many designs that are hard to pass up =^.^=

Here is Owls and Pumpkins.  I'm calling this one Kryptic.  I will be sending this off to Greyson and Levi.  The pattern was purchased with Greyson who was three years old and enamored by owls.  Now at six the fasination is likely gone.  Word has it that Levi is into birds now so it might work out best for him.  I will leave that decision to Tiffany.

Finally, Kreams (Popsicles) is ready for springtime.  These sherbert popsicles are cute twisting and turning across this table runner.  Kerry used an ice cream quilting design in light green thread.  It turned out very cute.

I've been very busy getting these projects ready for sharing at Sunshine Quilt Guild October meeting that there hasn't been much progress on Dr. Seuss ABCs.  I'm still at the part of trimming down the blocks to be equal size.

Enjoy your week.

Sunday Stash Report, October 11, 2026

 

I am in love with Katydid.  It took many fixes along the way for certain.  Thanks to all of you for pointing them out.  The black and white background used made it so busy that mistakes were not easy to spot.  Can't wait to share it with my friends.  This is one of several Sunshine Quilt Guild UFOs.

These are the next three to bind.  Kornier, Kryptic, and Kreams.  Kryptic gets buttons for the owl eyes.  Each of these are Sunshine Quilt Guild UFOs and two are from my personal 2026 UFO List.  Yep, I am doubling up on my UFO projects in some cases.  Frees me up to do the unexpected; like Kornier and this next project.

While waiting on the three binding projects, I couldn't keep from dabling into another project.  Look close this one is Dr. Seuss ABCs.  The panel is the last of the donations from my friend, Marla.  I had to create two blocks to have 30 blocks for the layout.  The piano key boarder uses leftover units in the perfect color from the SpongeBob project.  I had thought to twist and turn the blocks, but decided against.  I have to trim all the blocks down yet.

I pulled fabrics out for the second Flutter quilt Helen wants me to make for a Christmas gift.  The cutting will come after Tuesday since I will be busy with binding and Sunshine Quilt Guild monthly meeting.
