Design Wall Monday, August 3, 2026

It doesn't look like much now, but this is the beginning of Spider & The Fly.  This is the last of the fabrics that I pulled together from my mom's stash to make a Bonnie Hunter design.  Mom didn't have much in these colors, but I did manage to pull some blacks and oranges.  The tool you see is Bonnie's Essential Triangle Tool.  First step is to make lots of hour glass units.  Most of the units will be black/neutral and about a quarter of them in black/grey.  The neutrals are all coming from my stash.  This should be a good chunk of fabric from my stash too.

Today I received two projects from Kerry.  Can't wait to share them with you once the binding is in place.  

I also got a couple of gifts.  Thanks a bunch Kerry.  Until the next time =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, August 2, 2026

 

I had a helper this weekend.  Don and Rita were our house guests for the weekend.  The "boys" like playing video golf (lots of it) so Rita and I are left to entertain ourselves.  I have this project for Sunshine Quilt Guild going on to reduce the overwhelming amount of donated fabric that is part of the Cuddle Quilt Program,  My Accuquilt Big Go! was working overtime cutting 10" and 5" squares for making layer cakes and charm packs.  Rita is a crafter, but not a quilter.  She picked up the 5" square template and ran with it.  We have nearly cleared a large tote pan of fabrics :)

Next came the part of coordinating squares into cakes or packs.  It takes a lot of variety to bring one together.  We managed to make four this time around.  Later I will be meeting up with Lorna of Sunshine Quilt Guild to get more from the stash to create more cakes and packs with that variety I spoke about.

Looking forward to making these cakes and packs available for a screaming deal; just one quarter of the price of fabric.

Nothing to share that changes my stash since all that we did was use Sunshine Quilt Guild fabrics =^.^=

Wednesday Workings, July 29, 2026

This is the last of the projects from mom's stash; table runner 3.  There was a lot of the stripe...and I still didn't use it all!  I added a lot of my fabrics to make this one happen.  Soon I will be back to sorting through mom's stash to see what else I can make =^.^=

I was able to get the blue fabric that I needed for Kommitted's binding.  It was put together and stitched onto the quilt.  Next up is hand stitching the binding in place.  I also need to print some labels now that I have four projects that need them.  I always wait until there are four so that I use the label paper efficiently.

I need to get a replacement 6 1/2" x 12 1/2" Creative Grids ruler still.  It can wait until next week when I am at Rosie's.  If Rosie's doesn't have there is alway other ways to purchase one.

We have house guests this weekend so you know what that means...cleaning and dusting!  Until the next time do what makes you happy!
