Kapture
26" x 30"

Kapture is complete.  It is a pattern by Pam Buda called Four Around Nine.

Another KitNipBox arrived on Saturday.  The theme this time was Sweet Shop.  The tethered toy has a jingle to it that drives Kassy crazy.  The Sour Apple Candy has also become a favorite.  Not sure about the Moustache and frankly neither are the cats.  The Laser Mouse has them very busy running around the house.

Had to share with you a glimpse of grocery day after the bags are emptied.  Doesn't she look comfortable?  It wasn't long after this photo was taken before Kosmo came along and all photos after were nothing but a blur.

I'm continuing progress on Kutarug.  Making more hour glass units for the pinwheel blocks.  At the top of the photo are more HSTs too.  Between all the chores today two more rows were assembled.  Tomorrow I plan to sew more rows together to the main unit.  Nothing to record a change to my stash this week.

Kutarug

I've been making lots of progress on my August 2017 UFO.  Making more green, blue, purple, and a few black and red hour glass units for pinwheels.  I have enough for a row or two of the other colors in pinwheels ready.  Sewing two rows together works best for me and as you can notice I'll be needing more of the yellow/blue HST units too.

Kutarug Hour Glass Units

These are planned for trimming throughout the day.  Assembly into the pinwheel units will be on Monday.  Need to mix up the tasking so my wrist takes a break from the trimming.  

Kapture, Mom's Strings, Kilimanjaro, Kountry Kollection

I spent a few hours with Kerry on Friday.  Four small quilts were waiting for me.  Kapture starts at the top of the photo.  Next to find fabrics for the bindings!  Hope my stash has something for each of them.

Nothing to change the stash this week.

2017 UFO #8 was picked for working in August.  I plan to give it my best, but I have a busy month planned.  The last week of the month will have me at my parents home for my annual visit.  I have a stop first for the weekend in Tampa visiting my brother.

This project is planned to be king size to fit on my bed.  My project will be called Kutarug compliments of my friend and follower Janet O.  The design is called Winning Combination by Tammy Vonderschmitt from the publication American, Patchwork & Quilting April 2016.  As you can see many HSTs are made.  They need to be trimmed up with the Bloc-Loc ruler.  Thanks to Bonnie Hunter time and time again for showing bonus triangles!  I will undoubtedly need to make lots more.

So are you doing a 2017 UFO challenge this year?  What's your project all about.  I'll be linking into Patchwork Times with my 2017 UFO July completion, Kapture.  Have a great rest of your week =^.^=

Kapture
22" x 26"

UFO for July is complete.  Today the two borders were stitched down.  A finish for my Kapture!  A design by Pam Buda called Four Around Nine.  The design can be found in her trio of patterns called Tokens of the Past.  All fabrics came from stash...EXCELLENT.

Garment sewing for Violet and Ivy is next.  The fabrics are really cute and the EXCELLENT kind as well...straight from my stash.  Hope the two like what's soon to be in their closet.

Mom's Sun Bonnet Sue project started long ago for Tiffany is ready for quilting.  The project finished 68" x 80".  You should have heard the oohs and aahs it received when I was selecting the outside border and back.  The employees were very pleased to help make the selection.  Turns out I happened on the perfect discounted fabric - $5.00 a yard!  Love Beverly's already and now with this find even more...

I put the same sashing fabric around the pillows that will be finished by Mom.  The pillows will finish at 14" square.  They too will have the same backing as the quilt.  Tiffany has seen the project and is quite thrilled.

Beverly's had two more fabrics to come home with me.  The one on the top was another discounted fabric at $5.00 a yard.  The middle fabric is a back for a UFO yet to be started this year.  It was purchased with a 25% coupon.  The fabric on the bottom is the border and back for Tiffany's project.  Already in and out of my stash so I won't be counting it.

Kapture, my July UFO is on my Design Wall right now.  More on this project on tomorrow's post.  Oh, there is a block going the wrong way that has been corrected...

The beginnings of Kapture!  I started cutting the background neutrals on Sunday.  There are not many pieces to this project.  I managed to get just a few of the same print in both of the neutrals and reds.  These pieces are tiny...  The smallest of the squares is just 1 1/4".  I will be making Four Around Nine by Pam Buda (top right project).  Kapture is my July UFO.

Many of you learned about my two new fur-babies today.  This date marks their five week birthday.  I won't be able to see them until eight weeks.  They live not far from me in the Los Angels area.  It will be the week of my birthday when they move in with us.  So excited!

Hope you enjoy your week =^.^=

I've been very busy with binding.  Knikknakk above was finished on Sunday.

Kalvery finished on Saturday.

Kissin' Korner 2 finished on Saturday too.  Today I got around Kakes in the Kribyard, but have the sleeve to stitch down.  I will show you a photo of it in all its royal purples later this week.  All of my finished projects can be seen on my website www.kwiltnkats.com.

There were ten Sues to be blanket stitched down when I was left with this project started by Mom a very long time ago.  Tiffany pulled out two of the primarily blue Sues for pillows, but the rest make just enough for this setting.  The blue sashing fabric is left from the blue and yellow bed quilt Mom and I worked on and finished =^.^= before she returned home.  I will be using this same blue for the sashing in between the rows.  There is easily enough for it and probably the binding.  Not sure yet about a border or if it needs one.  What do you think -or- is it too soon to gather an opinion.  I will be back to Sun Bonnet Sue this week.

July is moving far to swiftly...Kapture, my UFO for July has yet to be started!  Until the next time =^.^=

Kakes in the Kribyard came back from Kerry's Quilting this past weekend.  It is really a purple quilt!  I have a solid purple planned for the binding.  Need to see if there is enough to get around this 33" x 39" project.

Kerry also went to a retreat in Texas while Mom and I attended the retreat in Temecula.  I got a Dear Jane charm pack as a gift from her trip.  It is a bit difficult to see all eight fabrics.  Some wonderful small scale prints in various colors.  Thanks Kerry!

Violet and Ivy are going to get some cute dresses soon.  When I was a Beverly's recently there was an adorable pattern that crossed my eyes.  Knowing I had several cute juvenile prints in my stash it had to come home with me.  The girls are Kerry's grandchildren that I see often.

The top right project is my #12 UFO called for working in July.  It isn't a large project, but I will be starting from scratch.  There will be more on Kapture through the month of July.

Kourtepointe Part 4

I found a good name for my En Provence project.  It is the French word for quilt or Kourtepointe (courtepointe).  It means bed cover or bedspread.  Sounds pretty good rolling off the tongue; what do you think?

Susan C left a comment on yesterday's post of a potential name for Scrappy Mountains Majesty.  Certainly Kilimanjaro will do!  Funny, sometimes the easiest to figure out escapes us until our friends step in.  Maybe it is something about not being attached that works.  I will be using HST Swap blocks for this project.  Whatever the situation, Susan C, thank you so much =^.^=.

I have also figured out the remaining four 2017 UFOs.  I'll update this post when I have access to the projects photographs.  As always feel free to help me with "K" names!

#9 Kakes in the Kribyard.  Bricks in the Barnyard, Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville.
Started by Sue V several years ago until she cried out UNCLE!  Her work was gifted to me with the comment "more your style of piecing Sandi".

#10 Double Arrow (yet to be named), Lisa Norton and Lora Zmak of Material Girlfriends.
A new pattern purchased with 2015 Christmas gift card.

#11 Kissin' Korner 2.  Kiss in the Corner, Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville
Made one of these in and in so doing ended up with double to blocks.  This one should go together fast.

#12 Kapture.  Four Around Nine, Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts

Now to share what I have found on the internet to be a Traditional Southern Christmas Dinner.  These come by way of Oxmoor House and Southern Living.  I'm certain to get flack* as this isn't a Traditional Family Christmas Dinner.  Old habits, pallets, are very hard to change I guess.  I'll start the cooking on Saturday, get the desserts and anything that will sit prepared in the refrigerator out of the big day.
