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.

Wednesday Workings, October 7, 2026

 

These are the last three Teddy Bear cross stitch blocks finished.  I now have all of them ready to put in a setting.  I have been picking up a suitable fabrics for this very thing.  Hopefully one of them will work.  

This will be my next hand sewing project to finish.  My grandmother started it long ago.  It just needs a little bit to finish it the rest of the way.  Note the scalloped border :)  The photos below show the work she did and where I will stitch to the finish.

As for my next project under my sewing machines needle...a second Flutter quilt.  My client loved it so much that she wants another one to give as a Christmas gift.  I will get back to my UFOs soon.

Design Wall Monday, October 5, 2026

My version (Gemini AI assisted) is finished.  The piano key border in the clockwise pattern really sets it off.  It will be off to Lorna this week for quilting.  I'm looking through my stash for the perfect sandy brown shade that will work for a binding.  This project really stretched me =^.^=

Now off to binding Katydid that arrived today.  Oh do I love this quilt.  Photos soon I promise.

I have enjoyed hearing from my friends on this day of my Birthday!

That's it from my sewing room for this Design Wall Monday.
