Sunday Stash Report, February 8, 2026

 

Mistletoe Moments is what I was sewing on Friday at Rosie's.  I had lots done then finished it off on Saturday...up to the outside border.  After getting our home and foods all ready for Super Bowl gathering with Chris and Rebecca; time was right to get the outside borders on.  This is a 2026 UFO from the 2025 Jolly Box at Fat Quarter Shop.  Will be considering names for this one =^.^=

Mom received her gift of a pillow case.  She is always making them for charity, but this time she is getting one as a surprise from me.  Mom loves cards!

Our guests are on their way.  Hope you enjoy the game.  I had two completions Kontroversy and Mistletoe Moments.  Two 2026 UFOs!

Wednesday Workings, February 4, 2026

Happy to share this finish!  It is Bonnie Hunter's Winter Mystery (XXI), Lupine & Laughter.  It is one to mark as done on my 2026 UFO List.  The colors of the quilt are inspired by the Iceland Trip with Bonnie and Quilters.  Lupine is a species of flower that grows all over Iceland.  There is a lot of controversy over the purple lupine flowers, Nootka Lupine.  It was introduced as a reforestation and soil reclamation effort.  The controversy surrounding the flower has to do with outcompeting native plants, biodiversity loss, and encroachment on protected areas.  Icelandic authorities and environmental organizations are working to strike a balance for the lupine.  I bring this all up so you might understand why I am naming my quilt Kontroversy.  This project was fun to sew.  I did not think that I would like the colors of the finished project, but Bonnie has a way of making design and color work...

I played with my sewing machine's stitch options.  I have done this before on a couple of projects, but in the years I have owned my machine I could count them on one hand.  My Sunshine BOM is a box of candies from the company Cupid Candies.  Makes me smile =^.^=

That's it for Wednesday.

Design Wall Monday, February 2, 2026

 

My Design Wall is filled with Lupine & Laughter (2026 UFO).  I need to sew the blocks and rows together first.  The blue strips are the inner border.  I have my fingers crossed there is enough =^.^=  Finally, the pieced outter border is together and ready for what's next for them.

Kottages up in the corner is a 2022 UFO that needs to finish!!  First though is Lupine & Laughter.

This is Sunshine Quilters January BOM coordinated by Pam.  I thought making a candy box might be fun.  Thanks to you, I have several ideas for stitching a name on the ribbon.  While I was sleeping last night I had the idea "Cupid's Candies".  I may just have to put all the ideas in a hat and pull one!

Happy Ground Hogs Day
