I am not sure if I shared this kitten finished.  Of course there has to be one kitten playing with a ball of thread :)

This kitten is finished as well.  She is fun chasing a butterfly.

This is the kitten that occupied my time on the flight to Tampa.  She will probably occupy my time from Tampa to Reston too.  I wonder what color the mouse will be...

I just couldn't wait as long as it is going to take Fat Quarter Shop to send the last 3/4 yard of fabric needed to complete the binding on Kasa Kassena...so I purchased it separately!  I'll be adding the yardage on Sunday Stash Report.

Happy Wednesday =^.^=

I have strips cut for Moonflower (2026 UFO).  I will be taking these with me to see how mom's stash can add to it.  I could really use some of the charcoal gray.

I have been auditioning blue fabrics to use under and above the picket fence that is the next part to add to my 100 houses unit of Kottages (2022 UFO).  Condos came to mind when the 100 houses were sewn together...perhaps I need a name change to Kondos?  Anyway the left has the first two blue fabric auditions.  The neutral will be the picket fence.

The audition is clear on this photo.  At the bottom is one blue fabric and the neutral.

The last two auditions on the right.  I am liking these two the best.  I do not have much of the top blue; of course I like this one the best of the five.  I may use the bottom blue under the fence and the top blue above the fence.  I have plans that I will carry out with mom as I navigate through Tina Curran's pattern.

Nothing more to show for now.  My posts will not be regular for a couple of weeks.  Travel starts tomorrow.  Packing today and fly to Tampa for a visit with brother and sister in law.

Happy Monday =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, March 1, 2026

Kwartz Kat is finished.  Another 2025 UFO finish.  You might recognize that most of the projects have been UFO finishes of late.  This table runner will be enjoyed during the spooky season that is racing towards us.  Already the third month of 2026 my goodness.

Kultivation is also done.  I just finished the binding and sleeve.  I am thrilled with this 2025 UFO finish.  It sort of has me thinking Native American, but I am sure Kim Diehl did not have that in mind when she designed the fabrics and pattern.

Kottages is into a square, 10 houses by 10 houses.  Yep that makes the 100 houses this pattern is designed around.  Let me say this far it has been quite labor intensive.  Building the individual houses was not too difficult, but the seams coming together into this unit was definitely a challenge.  There has been lots of pressing which is not my favorite part of sewing...my finger usually works just fine =^.^=  Next is the picket fence.  I am off to my blue stash for the right blue background under the fence.
