Let me start with Krowkissed progress. I'm just about halfway done with this Crows and Vines block. I'm working on this today during football games.
I started off with these fabrics for the holiday table runner that I will be donating to the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) 221 Holiday Fundraiser Basket. The second photo is adding in a couple more lights and most importantly the red and white stripe inner border and binding fabric.I was able to finish the table runner that will be off to Kerry for quilting. It will be included in a basket filled with a holiday meal fit for a King! Someone is going to be a lucky winner. Tickets for the basket can be had from Betty Delman or Kathy Owens in the Avenue, Maryland area if you are interested. (The outside stripe piece represents the binding that will go on after quilting.)
I plan to make a couple more of these table runners for the Summers Past Farm event in early December in the San Diego, California area where the Sunshine Quilt Guild will have a booth. So if you didn't win the one in Maryland there's a chance for purchasing one in California. I'll be posting photos soon of the two that will be for sale supporting the Sunshine Quilt Guild.
I have a another finish to share. Gleaming finished; from the 2025 Liberty Box by Fat Quarter Shop. No name selected yet to represent my "K". I am waiting on the backing to arrive. I purchased one of the white prints, the one that looks like fireworks, for the back. The dark blue star will be its binding.
I pulled fabrics for the Karen Brow Meiser Fancy Feathers Bird Topper workshop that will be held on 10/18. The Purple row of fabrics will make up the birds. I purchased three different sizes of the black and white stripe so that I can audition for the best when the project comes together.
On Friday I started working on a Halloween project. I'm going to call this one Kreepy Kats, Krows, and Klaws (Under A Spell by Jennifer Pugh). Pulled this together from words captured in the panel. The now framed panel pieces need to be trimmed down. It gets an orange inner border and a very appropriate outer border. Coming together just perfect.
These were jumping into my hands at Rosie's. I really like Kai scissors. I can send Kai scissors to Kai for sharpening, but this takes awhile. It is faster to have a few pairs of scissors in the wings. I also got a birthday gift for my sister that I won't share. Her birthday is Tuesday so hopefully USPS Priority mailed tomorrow will get it there quickly. Hey, it isn't like we are kids having it there for the big day =^.^=
My last purchase from Rosie's is the fabrics and double sided fusible needed for the picket fence. I'm getting to a Krowkissed finish so I'll need to have on hand what's needed to finish Kottages.
Saturday I spent the day making pet beds for shelters. The group, Kennel Komforters, meets the first weekend of the month at the Palomar Animal Shelter. There is usually ten or so on both Friday and Saturday. They support seven North County Animal Shelters making around 62 beds each month with distributions to all seven shelters.
My damage from Rosie's makes Gleaming and the ALA table runner important to count as used! Want that 2025 net used number to be BIG. Fortunately, I don't have my online purchases in hand to count this week!
