Design Wall Monday, June 8, 2026

Well finally the setting triangles are all sewn.  I thought three different times that enough had been made.  Each block still needs to have the setting triangles sewn to them.  I'm thinking the block on the fourth row from the top and the third from the left needs to hve the red/white strip changed out to something different; it stands out way too much.  Kommitted is well on its way to a finish!

The first of the bears has been finished.  Really like the expression on this bear's face.

I am close to a finish on block two.  The diaper is being stitched right now.  The bear's eyes and his pacifier are ahead.  Perhaps Wednesday for more stitching.

It was a stressful day today with the Sorrento Fire so close.  I did coral the two cats and leave for a few hours.  We are located just at the edge of the evacuation zone.  DH decided to stay home; in hind sight I probably should have done the same.  One never really knows how a brush fire with a slight breeze could spread not to mention the embers.  Well all went well this time.

Sunday Stash Report, June 7, 2026

Klarity is into a top.  I was able to pick up from Rosie's the purple, black, and white/purple fabrics I needed to finish.  Yesterday I set out to put it all together.  It sure is a beauty.  I also picked up the binding that will be used once Kerry does her magic.

These are the fabrics from Rosie's that I got on Thursday.  The top piece is for the binding.

These fabrics came home on Thrusday too.  The one on the left is so darn cute.  Animals doing yoga poses and the words describing the pose.  This piece will be used for Cherry Crunch backing.  Cherry Crunch is in work now.  The one on the right is for Kommitted that has all the blocks and setting triangles finished finally.  The setting triangles took the longest sewing time.  I worked on it both Thursday and Friday during the two day Rosie's sew day.  You can see how it looks with tomorrow's design wall post.

So although there is a bunch added to my stash there is a big used in Klarity's finish.

Used this week: 16 yards
Used YTD: 154.5 yards 
Purchased this week: 13 yards
Purchased YTD: 36.5 yards
Net used in 2026: 118 yards

Wednesday Workings, June 3, 2026

 

Kringle's Kaps is finished completely.  Thank you to my sister, Karen, who started me off with an early birthday gift.  I will admit that this is quite the busy quilt with all the different fabrics.

Klarity is on my design wall in one piece.  I will be picking up the last of the fabrics needed to finish the top and backing when Rosie's sew days begin tomorrow and Friday.  I hope to match a medium purple for the outer border and pick up enough of one black for the inner border.  Some time ago I purchased three different white with purple fabrics to build a gap in my stash.  I am hoping one of these is still available for the backing.

In the meantime I have been sewing on Kommitted.  The three block designs in the top are complete.  Lots of nine patches as you can see.  Lots of blues were used up, but nearly enough to make the blue fabric tote pan to show a dent LOL.

This is the next part.  Using more blue and white fabrics and the Cozy Strip Ruler, which by the way came by way of my mom and not ever used.  Kommitted is close to a finish =^.^=

I plan to work on this at Rosie's and then get to Cherry Crunch if time prevails.  Lofy goals, but that is my style.  Happy Hump Day!
