Wednesday Workings, November 11, 2026

This is the finish of my Chopped: Quilting Edition Challenge project.  I shared it at Sunshine Quilt Guild on Tuesday.  There was no prize associated with this challenge, still many participated.  There were several different projects made from small quilts like mine to clothing protectors (senior bibs).  Many of these items will be on sale at Summers Past Farms Craft Fair on December 5 and 6.

The last of the stamped cross stitch patterns recently ordered arrived.  This one is a bit more adultish than others I have made or will soon.  It contains Campers.  There is an abundance of stitchery, but I will get through this.  My current project Puppies is all stitchery.  I am just about finished with the first puppy.  I will be sharing that block soon.

I have had binding work that keeps me from working more on the Puppies or one of the other two hand stitching applique projects.

Happy Veterans Day =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, November 9, 2026

I have all the units sewn.  They will need to be pressed as I put this project together.  I can't believe I'm this close to a finish from a pattern that goes back so many years ago when it was acquired.  You know there is always something that comes along bringing new excitement.  I am happy with this project that has yet to find a name.

Now it is back to binding.  One finished and two to go!

eBay just delivered the Campers pattern...

Sunday Stash Report, November 8, 2026

This project Springtime Bunny by Suzanne's Art House is adorable.  I have to admit that I messed up and then fixed that mess between the bunny ears.  Yep, I used the rabbit fabric instead of the background fabric.  It became very noticeable when I put it on my design wall.  Next I have eyes and noses to applique.  I have cut the backing.  Not sure what I will grab from stash for the binding.

My second project Piecing is Fine by Country Threads has moved on quite a bit since the two days at Rosie's.  I will start putting it together into a top tomorrow.

I picked up some lady bugs, frogs, and a variety of peek-a-boo critters in Jack Dempsey stamped cross stitch patterns.  I have one more to arrive.  I am working on a Jack Dempsey stitchery puppy design currently which I will share with you soon.

These two are more patterns I have recently become the new owner.  Thank you Karen for Tiny Town and La Vie en Rose from the recent publication in American Patchwork & Quilting.

I don't see any finishes soon on the new patterns, but I certainly have them in my collection to make some day.  Today I claim used the Halloween Charity, Chopped: Quilting Edition, Butterfly 2, and Springtime Bunny.
