I finished the binding on this miniature version of Kristmas Kollection (aka Vintage Christmas by Lori Holt).  I'll be making more from the pattern book Vintage Christmas.

I also worked to catch up on Kyushu (aka Rhododendron Trail by Bonnie Hunter).  I put together Part 3 and Part 4.  I still have Parts 5, 6, and 7 before being caught up.  Part 4 needs to be pressed before moving on.

Today will be binding Kumin and hopefully a win for the Chargers!

I knew it would happen that a negative Stash Report would be the start of my 2022 stats :(  There will be a lot of used this year and well...whatever it takes to get them done!

I have this on my sewing table; Sunshine's December 2021 BOM.  I've been busy with applique on Koastline (aka Michigan) and binding.  I have the smaller Kristmas Kollection Mini  (aka Vintage Christmas) project done.  Kumin (aka Cinnamon Spice) has yet to be started.  Part 3 of Kyushu (Rhododendron Trail) is also on my sewing table.  I love having so much to do!

As I mentioned there was a shipment from Fat Quarter Quilt Shop on its way.  It was in my mail box when I got home.  Four yards for the background of Kolonization (aka American Quilter's Stitch-Along) that is one of my 2022 UFOs.  I also picked up some more Aurfil threads in orange.

Well that's it for now.  I hope there is something fun going on in your sewing room =^.^=

If you look close starting at the bottom right is the first of many leaves to be stitched down.  I nearly got the first side of the top with leaves, but ran out of variety so...

More must be made.  The assortment of medium and dark blues used in the top are for the leaves and larger part of the flowers.  I am using the Avery label paper for this applique job.  The vine that slowly curves connecting all the leaves and flower stems will go on last.

Monday's mail brought the jumbo rick rack that I was waiting on to finish Kristmas Kollection mini.  Love all this hand sewing!  Hope your last week of 2021 is just what you want it to be...  Look out 2022 is just days away =^.^=

Bringing Home the Christmas Tree, blocks sized down smaller, has been tested.  It works thanks to my DH for doing the math.  The original tree block finished at 15" square and the car with the trees on top 15" x 26".  The smaller size 8" square and 8" x 14 1/2".  I am pleased to make a smaller project this way.  Making the wheels of the car were the most challenging.  This is where the smallest pieces went, measuring at only 1/2" square.  Now that I know the pattern will work there are several more to make.  This is a 2021 UFO.  I will be doing my best not to let this finish fall into 2022=^.^=

I spent much of the day on Friday with Kerry.  She is out visiting her family and celebrating the holidays for a few days.  We exchanged quilting projects.  She brought me back Kristmas Kollection Mini, 35" square.  I need time for a run to Joann's to pick up some jumbo red rick-rack.  I plan to finish it just like the full size project.

I have Pumpkin Trio to work on once I finish cutting the background.  I also have Michigan sitting on my dining room table ready for applique placement and a bit of glue to hold it in place.

My home is decorated...gifts are starting to arrive...friends and family visits are taking place.  The holiday is definitely here!

Nothing to change my stats this week.  Maybe there will be a change with Pumpkin Trio next week.

I had just enough fabric to make this miniature version of Kristmas Kollection.  I have lots of small pieces of the fabrics in the blocks and a good amount of the background in the blocks, but that's it.  I'd say I got my moneys worth from this BOM from Fat Quarter Quilt Shop.  This one finished just 35" square.

After finishing Kristmas Kollection Mini sewing started in earnest on my version of Cinnamon Spice.  Certainly disappointed that the Sew Along didn't happen, but it wasn't going to derail me!  This is the main block; one of 12 needed for the project.  I won't be sewing the blocks together until I am happy with the color placement.

So this week I have a bit to claim as used with Kristmas Kollection Mini.
