Today will be more of putting the units together of Krakow. These are finished so far. They will move over on my design wall making way for the remaining ten blocks. I did do lots of tweaking between the units and there has been more of this already with the last ten. Plus I am also doing a bit of squaring up of units. I see a shot at finishing the top, perhaps this weekend.
Indigo Way is ready to climb onto my design wall next.
I may be experimenting with my Accuquilt in making bias binding. I want the binding to go diagonal on Levi's quilt, Kindly Kreatures, that is soon to arrive from Kerry. Meriam at Accuquilt was very helpful in leading me to a tutorial on just how this is done. All I need is 18" WOF, the die, mat, and courage! ROAR!
Happy Wednesday =^.^=
I have the first blocks sewn together. I hope to get back into my sewing room after Aqua Fit this morning. I am anxious to get to more of these. It will be nice to be at the place Kerry is; she has her top done lucky her. Kerry's blog doesn't show it yet, but I'll bet soon it will be there.

I will be finishing Section C first. Grandma used a lot of techniques to put the applique in place, but I will be using needle turn. Tonight before finishing for the evening I had four of the leaves down. Each of the leaves get a dark green floss vein and some require a stem. There is a use of dark green bias tape, but so far it looks like all of that vein work is done. I am very happy to have something from my Grandma to work on as it reminds me of her.
Have a wonderful week =^.^=
There was no movement this week to my stash report. Rosie's week of sewing is this Friday. I can't think of anything I need... Happy Ground Hog Day =^.^=

Everyone likes this heart block. It is Sunshine Quilt Guild's January BOM coordinated by Pam. The background fabric was provided by her and makes the hearts really POP! The membership has a choice in either pink or red fabric provided from their stash for the hearts and the center square. There will be a very happy winner at the February meeting.I ordered and received the 10" square Accuquilt Go template. I also needed a couple of mats for the new template and one purchased in Arizona while I was there. I am a dunce though, I ordered the wrong mat for the 10" square template. The correct size has been ordered; expected next week.
I have been sewing the extra units needed to make a full size Krakow, Bonnie Hunter's Old Town Mystery. I should be able to get this project on my design wall over the weekend. I got a taste for what mine might look like when I visited Kerry since she is ahead of me on the full project. Unlike me she chose to do the full project from the start.
Greyson got his quilt today and Tiffany says he loves it. Levi's will soon be on the way.
Enjoy your Wednesday!
The novelty 5" fabric squares were cut by Accuquilt Go! I got somewhat familiar with it during my visit to Kerry's. One of the groups she belongs to had a Quilts of Valor project being cut with the Accuquilt Go! As I have mentioned new dies were purchased during a nice sale. I christened them and even purchased a new one that will be delivered on Friday. I am all in! Kerry shared a cute Lattice Baby Quilt pattern with me that will be used for the 50 charm squares. I'll be using the blue fabric for the lattice.
First up today is to finish cutting the extra units for Indigo Way. I have about four Parts more to go. Then a bit of sewing and onto cutting the extra units for Krakow.
Have a special day today...because you are special!
Knockedout is complete except for a label. Kerry finished the quilting during my visit with her last week. I promptly put the binding in place and sat with the kitties surrounding me while hand sewing binding and sleeve in their final place. The binding will be a surprise to any who see it!
I did a lot of cutting to catch up on Indigo Way. This is Part 6.
I packaged Forest Friends up for mailing on first thing Monday. The back will be the same fabric as the sashing/borders. A very fun stripe will be the binding. There are fun designs selected for this 2025 UFO project. It will be for Levi who just so happened to make his appearance on Friday.
All is good with Levi and Mom. My sister will be doing the things grandmas do for the next week. Greyson is besides himself proud to be the big brother.

Today I am getting my sewing room and all the projects, fabric, and notions in place. I have also been working on readying the Accuquilt Go for activity with Peeps 5" squares cutting. Not to forget Indigo Way. I am sure I mentioned that the full projects of Krakow and Indigo Way will be made rather than the half projects started out with.
Time for me to catch up in my projects. Enjoy the week and be mindful of all the fire issues across southern California. We have been lucky in San Diego to date. Happy sewing!
I have cut the Forest Friends project into blocks and will be using the Accuquilt Go to cut the sashing and borders. Levi is due this week or by January 27th when he will be taken from Tiffany by C-Section. She's so miserable and Levi must be pretty big by the likes of her. I want to get this to Kerry as soon as I can.
Knockedout was quilted that I brought home with me. I used it to pack the two Accuquilt Go templates purchase. Very hard to see the quilting on this busy project. There is a bunch of very fat cats in the border with black thread and a bubble pattern in the center with gray thread that you can make it out.
Before I left on Friday most of Indigo Way was sewn. I did have a couple of oops! so it waited until my return to correct and move on in the project. Come back to see where I stand on Wednesday Workings. Happy sewing.
Being with Kerry boosted me into several purchases. All good Kerry! This will be for a future stamped cross stitch project. I have one that is Zoo Animals which will work nicely. I'm not so sure that the green wordy fabric will be used, but one never knows.
Next purchase at the shop hop Kerry and I did during my trip brought with it the backing for the Bees On The Farm project. I thought it was just a wall hanging, but not reading the pattern further had me purchase enough for a 69 inch square project. Later, when reading the recipe, there is a wall hanging that is of course much smaller, there was an insert in the pattern that showed what the kit it came with contained; just enough for a wall hanging. Going to be some extra backing, all good.
Lastly, these Christmas ornaments are perfect for my tree and Kerry's tree. Both of us have lots of sewing related ornaments on our trees. Kerry won't get hers until Christmas! The tweezers are real nice too. I will be adding it to my hand sewing tool bag.
My trip isn't over until Tuesday so come back and see what happened the rest of my visit.

I have Krakow up to the assembly of the reveal. Not sure with this busy week that I will be able to put a block together. This is the time when I will see what making half the project units will yield. That is to say...will I need to make more units and of which part. The bigger question that I will need to answer is whether or not I want to go for the full project. Above is Part 6 finished.
Part 8 is finished. Darn there were a lot of flying geese in this project. I have no concerns over having enough red.
At this point I will be moving on to Indigo Way and catch up with the sewing. Happy Hump Day!
