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 =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, September 20, 2026

 

Katydid is complete.  Thanks to everyone who pointed out a wrong twist of a unit.  This project is full of hour glass units along with the busy fabrics.  It was crazy difficult to see a mistake had been made.  I'll be putting together a backing today.  I have to piece a backing so it will be fun coming up with it using a three yard piece of Halloween novelty and 10" squares.  Maybe the extra made hour glass units (24) will find a place too.

This is the one add for the week past.  You can see it has already been used and might used again in the backing.  On Friday I was able to finish the scrappy black binding.  I look forward to using it when Katydid has made it's round trip to Kerry's.  My next Bonnie Hunter project will be her annual Winter Mystery!

On Friday as well I started in on Witches Feet Table Runner by Block Party Quilt Company.  I had previously made Elf Feet Christmas Table Runner from this same company and adore it.  Both complete kits were had during a Road to California Quilt Show.  There are other table runners and projects easy to pick up and sew if you want something quick to work on.  Witches Feet has binding in the flying geese print and a spider web white/gray backing.

This September BOM coordinated by Teresa for Sunshine Quilt Guild was finished last week.  It is the last completion for the week.  It was a very satisfying week.  Below is my Stash Report for this week.  =^.^=

Used this week: 17.25 yards
Used YTD: 225.25 yards 
Purchased this week: 2 yards
Purchased YTD: 58 yards
Net used in 2026: 167.25 yards

I didn't get through to the last border because I ran out of the orange fabric scrap that was in the plan to use.  I was short a 5" x WOF strip.  Not a thing in my stash appealed.  There will be at least one purchase at Rosie's this week.  I do like what is going on with the borders so far on Katydid.  OOPs...it was just brought to my attention that two hour glass units in the pieced border are oriented the wrong direction.  OMG...this is a busy quilt.  I have had to go back and reorient more than I'd like to admit =^.^=

Plans to sew Sunshine's September BOM coordinated by Teresa is on my machine for today.  I will probably also start cutting Popsicles that is a 2026 UFO.  Time now to hunker down on what's left on my list.

Teddy Bear 8 was finished and I am onto Teddy Bear 9.  That's it for me today.  Have a great Hump Day =^.^=
