Here's Kerfuffle back from Kerry's Quilting.  It was is a Myra Mahy design that I put together during a workshop with her through Sunshine Quilt Guild earlier this year.  I've got Kerfuffle trimmed up, binding sewn in place along with sleeve.  Next the couple of hours to hand sew the binding down and the label.  This will be a football game project!

I also got from Kerry a very cute Birthday Card and a Halloween theme fat quarter pack.  I've got Krazy Kins to make yet this year...the purple in this pack will be perfect for it.

To the far right is a charity kit from Sunshine Quilt Guild.  Gaylon makes up some real cute kits for the kids.  November is the second of two times during the year that we present quilts to the group we support.  This one is a pirate theme.  I'm guessing it will be in the hands of a little boy for Christmas.

Sunday Stash Report, March 4, 2012

I've had a fun time purchasing fabric this week...not good for the report today, but most all of it will come off in March.  You see most of it was for fabric to make my #8 2012 March UFO with Patchwork Times.  I'll be making Road to Brownwood one of the  designs you can get on Patchwork Times FREE patterns tab.  My project is to be called Konnections to Kollinwood simply because of the relationship to where my parents live and the easy of changing two "Cs" to that sought after "K".  I picked up these fabrics from three different quilt shops.  The three greens are from Beverly's, the three camel fabrics from Amidon's and the purple from Rosie's.  I'll be stopping just after the pieced border and use the dark camel for the binding.

I spotted this pattern on Quiltville Chat (Bonnie Hunter's Yahoo Group) recently.  I picked up a few dark teals to go along with others I've already got in my stash to make this project.  It's not something I need to get done right away.  It will go together fast I believe.  It is called Pineapple Nine Patch from the Cathy Wierzbicki book called Geometric Gems.  (I spent enough at Rosie's that I was able to get the book 40% off. WINK!)

I picked up this purple FQ just because I liked it.  I believe it will have a home in another 2012 UFO whose number has yet to be called.  Krazy Kins will use bright oranges and bright purples.

I'm still working on trimming up the flying geese of Bonnie Hunter's Orca Bay.  Kordova Klosure just might get done soon...sure hoping so.  The stack closest to the Brooklyn Revolver on the right is yet to be trimmed up.  Then as I've been saying, it will be time for block assembly.  All other components are complete.

So with all this said my numbers for this first week of March.  Be sure to see how other quilters are doing using up their stash at Patchwork Times.
