Sunday Stash Report, June 8, 2025

 

Kiki is complete.  I am putting together a back for it today.  I picked up the two fabrics from Rosie's on Friday that were needed to finish it.  But that's not all the fabric purchase!  Fortunately, I can set it off by some finishes.  By the way, Kiki means in French and Japanese "double happiness".  Imagine my surprise when I went searching for possible names.

A few weeks ago I mentioned a pattern called Moonflower by Bonnie Hunter.  Well this fabric will go nicely with it not to mention that it was in the Sale Room at Rossie's.  I have a few Kim Diehl projects ahead of yet another Bonnie Hunter project even though I am already thinking about all the gray fabrics that will be used.

I also had to have another Sale Room fabric in the multi color circular print.  These three fabrics (plus another yet to be determined) will be perfect for my cross stitch project Children's Zoo.  I only have three more blocks to stitch.  The stripe was just the right one for the binding and the turquoise will be for one of the two frames that make the cross stitch stand out.

The made for charity Millie's Dresses finished too.  I have some parts and pieces left should Jean, Christy, and/or Lorna have leftovers for another similar project.

The back made with 10" squares was assembled and stitched for my Cats in Pajamas quilt.  Lots of left over cat prints made their way into this primarily gray back.  I am still undecided on a "K" name for this project.  Kids or Kiddies comes to mind, but still working on something else better.

Fat Quarters Quilt Shop delivery on Saturday brought me their 2025 Liberty Box.  The pattern called Gleaming is nice with a FQ bundle of 12 with background, border, and binding suggestions.  The last three are usually available in a Finishing Kit.  I think I pre-ordered it, but a call to them on Monday will confirm.  The Finishing Kit usually comes after receipt of the Liberty Box.  Also in the box are other Patriotic themed items that include a cooler, cutting mat, charm, and thread.  

So this was one full week of sewing, shopping, and mystery.
