Krackerjack and Kooter Klan

I am still busy working on Krackerjack.  It is Star Fusion by BlocLoc.com.  It seems to be a little difficult to find, but it is available online and maybe your local quilt shop if they are selling the fabulous rulers they manufacture.  I've started sewing each row together...notice how much the seams draw the project together?  That top row looks like something is drastically wrong!  I did run out of two fabrics while putting this project together.  I've been able to bounce back with my stash and the ability to do it is made easier since the fabrics were both black and white designs.  Besides the background that I purchased in January all of this is from my stash.  There is one more border that is predominately white that may or may not be added...we'll see.  Oh in case you are wondering that's Kooter Klan on the top right waiting for applique time.  It is a design by Karen Brow of javahousequilts.com called Newly Hatched.   

For June Sunshine Quilters BOM Sherri has coordinated a calendar quilt project.  It is designed by Jennifer Bosworth of ShabbyFabrics.com.  You can see I have July to sew up.  The doily (outside border) is accomplished with a single hole puncher.  Do you have one of these? DeLinda says she has one that I can borrow.  I hope she remembers to bring it with her tomorrow.  Sunshine meets in just over a week and I haven't even started.  Oh, Bonnie Sue...I'm finished with my Whisper Challenge...ready for the big reveal!

 

Today is the 52Quilts.com UFO Parade.  I have Koliding Krosses as my May finish.  If you have time, check out the parade Aunt Marti puts together on the first day of the month.  Aunt Marti also pulls the next month's project to work on (#10) and mine is the miniature Scrappy Star Quilt shown on the bottom right.  I have already figured out it's name!  How about Kolumbia?  It finishes at 48" square and was designed by Wendy Gilbert of Morning Star Designs.  Fabrics haven't been chosen yet, so who knows what will come out of my stash!

Konqueror

Last to share is Konqueror complete.  This project came from a workshop I took in September of last year from Joyce Weeks of geoffsmompatterns.com.  Joyce calls her design Survivors.  It seems I don't usually select feathers as a quilting design, but this time I did.  The photograph doesn't do this quilt justice.  It is in grays, blacks, purples, and a grayish neutral.  The quilting thread is purple.  You'd see it very differently if you had it in your hands.

Lot's of projects going on, but no yardage came in or left my sewing room.  Maybe next week Krackerjack will be a finish...certainly the BOM and the Whisper Challenge fabrics will take something off.  Enjoy the month of June!
