I could start off today with my first finish of the past week, but this one certainly fits the week ahead. Kork is a 2024 UFO that I am happy to have completed. It took a variety of fabrics in orange and brown mostly from Squirely Girl fabric line. (More on the pattern name and designer by the tag "Kork" below.) Kork is a small project pieced and applique. I put a chocolate brown on the back.
Next finish from the week past is Kolorado. This one never got to a UFO list, but it has been around since 2016 or there abouts. It was a "row by row" project from Ruth's Stitchery out of Colorado and a gift to me from Marti. (more on the pattern name and designer by the tag "Kolorado". I enjoyed the little bits of applique and one of my favorite techniques, paper piecing. I used the red/black check as the borders to carry the theme of the tree skirt made last year.
My last finish are these ornaments for the Summers Past Farms Craft Show that Sunshine Guild will participate. It runs December 7-8; something fun to do if you enjoy craft shows. This pattern was in the December 2024 issue of Better Homes & Gardens American Patchwork & Quilting periodical.
As for purchases, 3.25 yards towards the Bonnie Hunter Winter Mysteries (2024 and 2025) that I am working on at the same time. I stopped by Lowe's for paint chips on my way home from a sew in on Friday. I was having a hard time with the aqua to turquoise fabric in the 2025 Mystery Old Town and needed a solid red for the entire yardage in the 2024 Indigo Way hence a stop for fabric too. I am busy in to cutting and sewing on these two projects. I am even using the Acuter on the 2024 project with the 2.5 inch die.
Fun finishes and fun starts last week and into this week. =^.^=

The ornaments are cute. So hard to put a pricetag on handmade items though. I told someone last week that if i was paid to sew, it wouldn't be fun anymore. I think I have that magazine through my library subscription, I'll take a look!
