Sunday Stash Report, June 9, 2024

Kolonization is done!  Yippee!!  This is a 2022 UFO and a 2023-2024 Sunshine Challenge UFO.  I got all nine UFOs done for the Sunshine Challenge.  More chances to win the prize for getting all of them done.

Sunshine's May BOM coordinated by Gina turned out very cute with the peach fabric as the petals.  Gina supplied the stigma fabric.  With the cream fabric as the background the stigma pops out a bit.

Klankbottom still needs its bells on the tips of his boots.  I plan to get these on later this evening.  Oh, Clankbottom happens to be a town where the kids book The Elves and the Shoemaker is set. =^.^=

Finally, this adorable cat print charity quilt using the pattern called Oh Henry.  Lorna kitted these up and Kerry quilted it.  Definitely a pattern I plan to keep in mind for future projects.  It went together so simple.

This week is Sunshine's last meeting of the 2023-2024 membership year.  We will be having a pot luck and celebrating 45 years as a guild.  Lots of fun things are planned to include drawing the winner of the 2023-2024 Opportunity Quilt.

Nothing changes my numbers this week.

These arrived on Saturday from Kerry.  I had the units just about done during the Sunshine Retreat.  They were first to work on and get to Kerry for quilting after returning home.  They are all trimmed and ready for binding.

I thought it somewhat funny to see that each of the bindings for these three quilts are red.  These are ready for the iron and then onto the quilts they will go.

Hand sewing the binding down along with the hanging sleeve and label are first to finish.  I need this last Sunshine UFO Challenge finished for the June Meeting.

I also need to finish the BOM.  I have pulled from my stash the fabrics not provided.  Pretty much all it needs is my sewing machine and some additional cutting along with assembly.  I think the coral will make a nice flower.

As Sunshine's President reminded us, winners of BOMs are supposed to finish their projects from the blocks by the end of the membership year.  Well I'm almost there...wonder if I should just share the tops?

Nothing to claim.  Happy 4th Birthday to Greyson!

Sunday Stash Report, May 19, 2024

 

I finished Kolonization!  This is the last Sunshine 2023-2024 Challenge and a 2022 UFO.  I started working on this in partly in January 2021.  I purchased fabric, unfortunately not enough...  Along comes Kathy and Kerry to help me out.  Nothing like quilting sisters to help with their stash.  Mostly I needed the blues and some whites.  Kerry helped out in another way to with her AccuQuilt cutting all the stripes.  Quite different my project turned out with Grunge Seeing Stars Crème where Kerry used a navy.  Both projects look awesome.  Lisa Bongean sure knows how to design great projects.

This is the second top finished.  Elf Feet table runner by Block Party Quilt Co.  The kit came home with me during the 2024 RD2CA.  It has cute red jingle bells that will go on the tips of the shoes and a red and white stripe binding.  This is not a UFO, but I did want to sew it up before becoming one.

Finally, here's Better Together by Sandy Gervais for Fat Quarter Shop's 2024 Cupid Box.  This one also not a UFO, but another that was easily assembled during last week's Sunshine Retreat.  It really is a sweet project.

I am thrilled to move my Stash numbers around today...not the purchased, but rather the used =^.^=  So all together a big number to get me out of the red for 2024.  

Used this week: 31.75 yards 
Used YTD: 65.25 yards 
Purchased this week: 0 yard
Purchased YTD: 57 yards
Net used in 2024: 41.75 yards

Design Wall Monday, May 13, 2024

My biggest project to work on over the weekend is Kolonization.  I stopped at this point because I wanted to do a good job matching the bottom stripes to the top unit for the best look.  Not much more to do except for sashing after the "flags" go together.

Next up is this Valentines project without a name quite yet.  All of the units are done with only an iron and Design Wall needed along with a couple of hours assembly to complete.

 

Lastly this Christmas table runner project without a name yet too.  This one needs an iron along with assembly time and it too will be a finish.

The last two project are not a UFO.  Just fun sewing before they wind up on one of those lists =^.^=
