Sunday Stash Report, September 30, 2018

I've still not come up with a name for my Punkin' Patch Bonnie Hunter project.  I have had a few suggestions, but nothing seems to fit yet.  The photo above captures half of the #2 border (pieced green/gray) that is sewn and the units yet to attach.  The gray strips are what will be #3 border.  I only have one more side of the #3 border to assemble and this is it.

These units are the start of the last #2 border.  It takes 56 units for the top or bottom.  I haven't counted yet, but think a few more will be needed.  I'll work on assembling with darker green patches.  I have exhausted my green 1.5" strips except for more lighter shaded green.  No worries the darker green is easily had in my stash.

Here's the project right now.  I'm getting close to the #4 border which will be orange flying geese with gray corners.  Will be making a bunch of them.  I hope to get this last border started tomorrow while watching Dancing With The Stars.

Punkin' Patch (yet to be "K" named) is moving right along.  I have all the pumpkins done now; paper removed and all.  I did make one extra that I might use versus one of the medium gray background blocks...we will see.

The #2 border will take some time to sew.  Total there will be 214 finished 1" x 4" units of green/gray.  I have about half of them done.  Besides #1 and #3 gray finished 1" strip borders there is a #4 border of orange flying geese with gray background.

Above is a photo of the layout.  There is still quite a bit of sewing to do =^.^=

I mentioned that I'd share a photo of Kastaway with my last post.  Isn't it cute?  The bling didn't make it, but to the San Diego Quilt Show over the weekend it did.  The design by Paula Ashworth Lewis called Catnip Trip Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is adorable.  I hope in a couple of months to get Picnic a second one of her designs when the pattern is back in print.  If you are interested in having one of Paula's designs you can inquire at Sweet Darling Quilts out of Lutz, Florida at 813-994-2994.

As many of you already know I earned a Blue Ribbon at the San Diego Quilt Show with Kurry.  Kurry took 1st Place in the Traditional Pieced Quilt category.  I hope Kurry will make the cut for 2019 Road to California as I will be entering it this week.

While offering chances on Sunshine's Opportunity Quilt at the San Diego Quilt Show I was working on Bonnie Hunter's Punkin' Patch design.  These are about half the finished 1" by 4" units that will be used in the border.  This one just makes me happy to be working on now that Fall and pumpkin season are on us.  I'll have more to share about this project tomorrow on my Design Wall post.

Design Wall Monday, September 17

Sunday was the day to finish the binding and add the label to Kastaway.  Sue will be helping me today add a few rhinestones here and there.  Yep certainly cutting it close to turn in time for the San Diego Quilt Show event.  Turn in is today at Rosie's between 1 and 4 pm.  It is with great fortune that once the rhinestones are applied there will be no setting time required.  I will share a photo once the rhinestones are in place. 

The other two quilts and one of Kerry's are in the car waiting for the trip today.  If you find you can go to the show it is a good one that runs Thursday 9/20 through Saturday 9/22.  I plan to be there on Friday to help with selling chances on the Sunshine Quilt Guild's Opportunity Quilt, white glove a bit (helps display the quilts to admirers), along with looking at all the quilts being displayed.  Of course let me not forget shopping!

Have a wonderful week.

This week I have been working on Punkin'Patch.  I find myself happy working on the string project.  I am still thinking about a name for this one so if you have any ideas please share.

I have several more pumpkins ready for their stem and background along with lots more of all pieces to cut.  Thanks to my sister I have not needed to dig in my yardage stash quite yet.  The gray/green 1" checkerboard border looms.

The first four blocks of Punkin' Patch project are finished.  I have quite a bunch of orange strips to make more of the pumpkin unit along with 18 more gray sections cut to size.  Tonight I'll be sewing strings!

This project was fun!  They are raw edge flowers...hopefully the look like sunflowers 😊  There was a workshop this past Thursday with my Mom's guild.  This was the project everyone was working on.  It was fun working together, Mom and I, on the project.  We finished six of them during the time.  They should ravel to the 1/4" stitch line once washed.  The plan is to use nine of them for a small wall hanging and the other three for a table runner.

Today is my first day back to work!  It should be a very busy day.

These fabrics are mostly a gift from my Sister.  The grays and oranges will be used in the Bonnie Hunter project called Punkin' Patch.  Punkin' Patch is one of my 2018 UFOs.

The neutral was a great freebie that Mom picked up for me at her Quilters by the Bay monthly meeting.  It worked out that I was in Maryland for the September meeting.  I've been there once before so it was real nice to see many familiar faces.

These charm packs were gifted from Mom.  No idea what to use them on right now, but something will come along.  I only purchased one yard of fabric so that will be all that is added this week.
