Sunday Stash Report, January 22, 2023

I am thrilled to have the first completion of 2023 on its way to quilting!  The remaining fabrics needed to finish it were already on hand from earlier arrivals this month and late last year.  The border fabric is what will be used for the backing.  I have been working on this project since May 2022.  It is O Say...Can You Sew! by Primitive Gatherings.  Any ideas welcome for a name for this patriotic beauty that finishes at 83" by 103".


This is the binding fabric.  I will have this prepared and ready to sew when it comes back from quilting.  It will be done in a white thread and some overall design.


This .75 yard piece is new this week.  It is for the binding of the commissioned baby shower quilt.  Kerry received it Friday and will be quilting it in an appropriate design.  May be some custom work.  The binding is already prepared and ready to be stitched in place.  I will share more of what it ended up being when it has been delivered to the owner.


We were invited to a New Years celebration gathering complete with traditional Chinese dinner.  These good fortune envelopes are filled with a dollar bill and were part of the table setting.  Another couple brought an appetizer that had the best cheese.  Our contribution was the dessert that was a very moist yellow cake with vanilla pudding and crushed pineapple.  Then soaked into the baked and poked Bundt cake pineapple liquid, and confectionary sugar.  Each of us rolled out of their home well satisfied and with good fortune for 2023.
