Kommitted is moving forward still.  I have about half of the block's setting triangles stitched.  I thought this would be a simple project to cut and stitch.  A project that would go together quickly.  Well indeed I was wrong coming to that conclusion.  It isn't that its hard mind you.  Be prepared for all the setting triangles that need to be made =^.^=

I decided to take out the fabric log in the block that is missing in the first photo.  I mentioned Monday how it stood out too much.  It will be replaced with the fabric you see above making it more desirable.  (Check out my Design Wall Post on Monday for a glimpse of the fabric that just doesn't work.)

Nothing else to share with sewing except that Cherry Crunch has about half the neutral 2.5 x 4.5 units stitched.  There are 488 to be sewn!

The last meeting of the 2025-2026 Sunshine Quilt Guild Membership concluded with a great potluck.  We had things to discuss for the upcoming membership year, sew in dates for the summer months, and winners to be drawn for several challenges.  I won prizes =^.^=  The most exciting was to win the UFO Challenge.  In this challenge for each of the nine predetermined projects you selected at the beginning of the membership year that you finished, a chance would be awarded.  At the end of the membership year one lucky winner would be selected to win the award.  Kottages was certainly my most difficult UFO to finish in this challenge.

We have guests coming on Friday, so there will be some cleanning going on around here tomorrow.  I hope to get back to Kommitted sometime after our home is ready.

Well finally the setting triangles are all sewn.  I thought three different times that enough had been made.  Each block still needs to have the setting triangles sewn to them.  I'm thinking the block on the fourth row from the top and the third from the left needs to hve the red/white strip changed out to something different; it stands out way too much.  Kommitted is well on its way to a finish!

The first of the bears has been finished.  Really like the expression on this bear's face.

I am close to a finish on block two.  The diaper is being stitched right now.  The bear's eyes and his pacifier are ahead.  Perhaps Wednesday for more stitching.

It was a stressful day today with the Sorrento Fire so close.  I did coral the two cats and leave for a few hours.  We are located just at the edge of the evacuation zone.  DH decided to stay home; in hind sight I probably should have done the same.  One never really knows how a brush fire with a slight breeze could spread not to mention the embers.  Well all went well this time.

Sunday Stash Report, June 7, 2026

Klarity is into a top.  I was able to pick up from Rosie's the purple, black, and white/purple fabrics I needed to finish.  Yesterday I set out to put it all together.  It sure is a beauty.  I also picked up the binding that will be used once Kerry does her magic.

These are the fabrics from Rosie's that I got on Thursday.  The top piece is for the binding.

These fabrics came home on Thrusday too.  The one on the left is so darn cute.  Animals doing yoga poses and the words describing the pose.  This piece will be used for Cherry Crunch backing.  Cherry Crunch is in work now.  The one on the right is for Kommitted that has all the blocks and setting triangles finished finally.  The setting triangles took the longest sewing time.  I worked on it both Thursday and Friday during the two day Rosie's sew day.  You can see how it looks with tomorrow's design wall post.

So although there is a bunch added to my stash there is a big used in Klarity's finish.
