Design Wall Monday, December 2, 2024


Here is my Design Wall today.  This is Part 2 of Old Town (Starowka).  Each unit is sewn into a two patch that will be sewn to a second two patch to make...a four patch.  I have started doing this as you will note from the ten that are done on the top left.  This will go together quick once I sit down to the sewing machine.

Part 2 of Indigo Way is cut.  I will be using the same red throughout the project.  I purchased enough for the full quilt, but presently this is only half the triangle in a square units.  I really would rather a smaller project if it can be achieved.


The 2024 Jolly Box arrived.  The pattern is cute with a bunch of scarved snowmen.  Looks like I will need a white for the snowmen.  Haven't read the pattern yet, but I don't see enough in the FQ pack.  Also included in the box are buttons for the snowmen and thread to sew them in place.  A snowmen tray and gift tags in the box too.  I have ordered the finishing kit.  I am hoping fabric is in the finishing kit for the snowmen.  If not there might end up being scrappy whites...hey that might be cute too.

Hope you are having fun decking your home with Christmas spirit and working with your fabrics.  Happy Monday =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, December 1, 2024

Kendra is complete.  I just love how it turned out.  I was sitting back admiring it and thought it could be displayed at Christmastime, but much of these greens have a shamrock print in them.  I already have several Christmas quilts so this one will wait for St. Patrick's Day.

Kristmas Kandy Kollection is complete too.  This one is definitely a Christmas quilt.  It will be displayed during the month.  Can you believe we are in to the first day of the last month of 2024?

Part 1 on both Bonnie Hunter's Winter Mysteries are finished.  Pulled reds for both Part 2s.  It was nice to dig into my 1 1/2 inch strips.  Seems I'm always adding to this drawer rather than using in a project.  I am doing my darndest to use rather than purchase =^.^=

I am expecting Kondensation back from Kerry and the 2024 Jolly Box from Fat Quarter Shop.  Thought both would arrive on Friday or Saturday, but alas that was not to be.  Gives me something to hope for tomorrow.

No purchases were made this week and the yardage for these two quilts has already been counted.  Thanksgiving is behind us and now we look forward to Christmas.  I have two events on the calendar for this week.  Do you have any events on your schedule?  Check back tomorrow for progress on the Mysteries.

Purchased this week: 0 yards

Wednesday Workings, November 27, 2024


Part 1 of Old Town (Starowka) is finished.  Like Indigo Way only half as many units will be made.  If it is decided to make this the original size of the pattern I can always make more units =^.^=  So now I am ready for Part 2 of Old Town (Starowka) when it is released on Friday.  This also frees me up to move to Part 2 of Indigo Way.  I like these aqua to turquoise fabrics.



The deer, squirrel, and panda are finished.  The words "panda" still need a stitch or two, but the animal is done.  Next up is a snail.  The snail is the tenth of 12 blocks to stitch.  Looking like I will have this project stitched with plenty of time before Levi is born in February.

Wishing you a very fulfilling Thanksgiving.  I am off to do a bit of cooking and binding =^.^=
