Good morning! I am so thrilled to show off Kottages. This was one long project finally finished. Not certain when the pattern was procured. 100 Houses by Tina Curran made it first to a UFO list in 2022. I really got to working on it in July 2024. The picket fence daunted me for several months. It honestly held me back from finishing. It turned out to be a simple process of putting it together just tedious. It can't be seen in the photo, actually in the real life look either, all the effort Kerry took in quilt stitching the picket fence. The houses look great with different skies and the consistency of two yellow windows and a black door. Now with the success of an old UFO finish I need to get another old UFO done =^.^=
This fabric came in for Santa's Hat Shop project. I am striving forward on this quilt. All backgrounds have been found. There are about six more to cut into the shapes needed for the hats. All the reds (and a surprise) hat shapes are cut. Soon I will be pulling papers out of this foundation project and stitching the three units of the hat together. Check in tomorrow for how this one is going. It is a 2026 UFO that has yet to find its "K" name.
The pattern arrived from ETSY/Farmers Attic for the commissioned project I accepted. It is called Flutter by Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique. I will be making it with a white background and pastel floral butterflies. The mom to be is due in May, way before this project can be finished.
So that's it for now. I have a few individual blocks to finish before next month rolls around. A binding to put together. Labels to be sewn in place. The last kitten in the cross stitch project. Finally making headway on Love Is All You Need a 2023 UFO. I need to dig out Kaster (Pumpkins For Sale) by One S1ster Designs. It is the last unfinished 2022 UFO.
