Design Wall Monday, July 15, 2024

 

Soon this will be my Design Wall, but for now this is Edyta Sitar's design called Secret Stash.

Instead this is my Design Wall!  Nothing to share here, but look at the top of my sewing cabinet...

I am using the same grouping of fabrics the Neutral and Warm FQ bundles from the Secret Stash Line by Andover Fabrics.  Of course I waited a bit too long to pick up the Neutral FQ bundle so I had to purchase what I could find.  Fortunately I stumbled upon two Neutral Layer Cakes which has been just enough so far.

I have already marked the center line on Unit 1 and Unit 2 neutrals.  There are going to be lots and lots of HST units to make.  Just 28 (makes 56) of both neutral and warm for Unit 1 and then 200 (makes 400) of both neutral and warm for Unit 2.  Yes, you did hear me correctly, 400 HSTs =^.^=  I recall someone mentioning how they dislike making HSTs...not me!  I am just loving stitching these fabrics together.  The neutrals are amazing in a selection of colors I wouldn't consider neutral at first glance.  They are for the most part subdued, but wild in pattern.  This pattern was a free download should you wish to make one of your own.  My project will be called Kache.  A 2022 UFO soon to be marked off my list of UFOs.

Yesterday was my first Book Club event.  Thought I'd share the feast that we enjoyed.  Thanks for the cooking Christine, Ellen, Kayleen and Grace.  There were other cooks in the group who brought appetizers and desserts.  A couple others had to leave before the group photos were taken.  The discussion of the book, The Housemaid by Frieda McFadden, was engaging.  We all agreed this is a book worth the read.

Happy week ahead everyone.
