Design Wall Monday, August 10, 2026

I need to make sure the arrangements of the blocks look good before sewing them together.  I started Monday with not all 25 Block As cut or sewn.

I had a lot of it quite far along.  A few more units yet to be done.

The last units kept me busy today.

I will be finishing up my two latest hand sewing projects later after dinner if the hubby decides to watch something I don't prefer =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, August 9, 2026

 

I met up with my sewing friends on Thursday and Friday at Rosie's this past week.  I picked up two 1/4 yards of fabric for Spider & the Fly project.  I should have waited until Friday because all the Halloween fabrics were on sale.  Not a big discount since this purchase only ended up to be 1/2 yard total.  My project is going along briskly.  I'm deep into the 25 Block As.  My project is using mostly white/black as the backgrounds.  It isn't necessarily a Halloween quilt, but the colors lean towards that theme.

These came home with me too.  They are all for the butterfly/flower quilt called Flutter that I have commissioned to make.  Pretty excited by the background fabric.  I will be working on this one after my Spider & the Fly Block As are done.

I did look at Rosie's for the 6 1/2 x 12 1/2 Creative Grids ruler to replace my oops with the Accuquilt cutter.  She has them on order and I am slated to get one when the three arrive.  I need this ruler =^.^=

I did finish the tie quilt's binding.  I have buttons to add to the colars yet.  Mon's table runner 2 is nearly bound; just one long side to go.  Until next time.

Used this week: 0 yards
Used YTD: 186.75 yards 
Purchased this week: 9.5 yards
Purchased YTD: 53 yards
Net used in 2026: 133.75 yards

Wednesday Workings, August 5, 2026

I was able to get the fabric needed for Kommitted.  No thanks to Kassy (one of my kitties), I was able to finish the binding.  I'm happy to use both my mom's and my stash with Kommitted.  I am finally starting to see a small dent in my neutrals!

I trimmed down Mom's Table Runner 2 and the Tie quilt ready to add the binding.  One binding is ready to go and the other needs to be prepared.  

In the meantime I have been working on Spider & The Fly.  Cutting units and sewing the many hour glass units.  This is a fun block unit that I enjoy making.  I have block units sewn for two blocks right now.  I will sew together when I have more so that the fabric mixes are the most pleasing.  

I skipped Aqua Fit today to give my toe more time to heal from my stumble on Friday night.  I found out running into a chair leg in the middle of the night can break a toe.  I was at the doctor's office yesterday and brought up my very bruised toe.  She sent me to get xrays.  Turns out that my middle toe is fractured.  Not much can be done except to keep weight off and tape.  I haven't taped, but as I said time to keep activity level and leg propped up for a few days.  

Enjoy your Wednesday
