The plan is to finish Hearts of Hope by Bonnie Hunter. Some string units got their corners on and then I will work on putting the hearts together. I would so much like to have this done by the weekend. I want to have it in the mail to Kerry this time next week.
Enjoy your Memorial Day =^.^=

Still binding today. Katching Kluckers is what's being sewn. 192" around, label, and sleeve. I also have a very funny caption sewn to the back. Need to look for three small black buttons for the turkey eyes.
Hope your week ahead is awesome=^.^=
Along with Karre and Katching Kluckers with binding, label, and sleeve there wasn't much more happening in my sewing room other than putting everything in its place after the retreat. Those who know about going on retreats can understand how this works :)
A trip to the post office had packages and extra postage envelopes going to several places across the U.S. Iowa, Arizona, Wisconsin, and two California addresses had deliveries from me. This week a trip to the post office will have packages going to Maryland and two Virginia addresses. Boy, it would be nice to deliver all of these in person.
Nothing changes my stash numbers this week. Can't wait to see some sort of movement soon. Happy week everyone=^.^=
My 2021 - 2022 Sunshine Challenge project was ready to present at the meeting last Tuesday. The Challenge was a Beetles theme using three provided fabrics and having a beetle not a Beetle in the project. No win for me, but I overheard nice comments while the membership voted for their favorite two. Mine has the Beetles song Roll Over Beethoven using fabric 1 in the sheet music, fabric 2 in the lyrics, and fabric 3 in the beetle of the three letter "Os" as well as the binding. Notice the dog Beethoven from the Universal Pictures movies that began in 1992. Beethoven has a top hat on and is rolling over between the four vinyl records. The back shares the lyrics and the story of Beethoven.
The rest of this week will be on catching up on all the binding projects, finishing Hearts of Hope, and hopefully cutting out Kauldron. Hope your week catches you up on starts and finishes.
I've been really busy working on my 2021 - 2022 Sunshine Quilt Guild Challenge all week. I have it done now with the exception of sewing down the sleeve and adding the label. I will be able to share my project this time next week. I am pretty excited about it. Once this is done I can concentrate on the getting ready for the annual Sunshine Retreat that is this weekend. I leave on Thursday...getting very excited=^.^=
Kerry is here this weekend with her family. She had a few hours yesterday to spend time with me at my home. It has been awhile since she was here last. I usually go to her family in Santee for a few hours visiting. She came with three projects she was working on for me all quilted up!
The top photo is an addition to Krush that is for Tiffany for her birthday later this month. I still have the binding to finish on Krush since that was pushed to the side to work on the Challenge. Katching Kluckers is above and Karre is below.
All of these need finishing touches. I must get ready for the retreat before I can get back to them.
So this week I will claim yardage used on the Challenge. Nice to have the numbers change in a positive direction.
Happy Mother's Day to all you moms =^.^=
Hope your sewing room is humming just as mine is =^.^=
