Sunday Stash Report, September 27, 2026

Here's a 2026 UFO finish.  I have yet to give this project called Popsicles an appropriate "K" name.  That will come shortly.  I am sure one can be figured out...perhaps Kreams.  Sherberts are sometimes made with cream.  Well heck without further ado Kreams it is!

Kreams will have this checkered backing and the lighter green as binding.  Another off the 2026 list.

The Owls and Pumpkins went together much faster than I'd thought.  It too is a smaller project and a 2023 UFO.  These were the fabrics used.

First to go together were the owl bodies and pumpkins.  I had no trouble finding suitable fabric from my stash.  This project included a new technique for me.  The selcra was made using Applipops.  I used my tried and ture Avery Label paper for the wings.

When I get it back from Kerry the pupils will be added to the owls; because they will be black buttons.  The first row will be sewn in place looking down, the center owl will be looking straight ahead, and the last row of owls will be looking up.  If Kerry can add a viney squiggle to the top of the pumpkin stalk in green it will be great.  This project will be called Kryptic.  Nice getting one of these older UFOs behind me.  I still have a few more to go, but I am slowly cutting into them =^.^=

Wednesday Workings, September 23, 2026

I had a bunch of scraps from Katydid that I was putting away.  It came to me to make a charity quilt.  Since many of the scraps were large enough for a 5" square and 5" x 2.5" wide to put together and shimmy down to 5".  The inner border and outter border also scraps.  Now it will be up to Lorna to find a suitable back in the charity stash that Sunshine has collected.

I pulled fabrics and started in on the cutting of Popsicles.  This is one from the 2026 UFO list.  A simple table runner with a twist.  I will be working on stitching this project today.

I will be trying to listen to a book (The Alice Network) while sewing, but the Blue Angels are out practicing for the show being held this weekend in San Diego.  There will be lots of pauses...

Happy Wednesday =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, September 21, 2026

 

Teddy Bear blocks continue to be my hand stitching project in the evenings.  The one on the slide finished and the one with the bear doing a cartwheel started soon afterward.  There are only two more blocks to go.

I am about to start into the UFOs again.  Popicles will be the first.  It is a 2026 UFO.  I like the way the popicles dance on this table runner.  My stash should have all the fabric needed for this summertime table runner.

Owls and Pumpkins was inspired to make for my great nephew Greyson.  He had a liking for owls when he was a couple of years younger.  This is a 2023 UFO that he probably has no interest in anymore.  I plan to make it anyway.

That's all folks =^.^=
