Wednesday Workings, July 31, 2024

Katch completed Monday.  This one measures 71 x 83.  It is from Sunshine November 2023 BOM Win that was coordinated by Pam.  I used all but one set of blocks.  I did make several more sets and unsewed and resewed one block using the set to accomplish it.  Very pleased how this one turned out.

Kupuna Kane completed on Sunday.  It measures 43 x 43.  It is another Sunshine BOM Win from December 2022 that was coordinated by Tanya.  I had originally thought to make the green squares black and white, but after discussing with Kerry a different color was brought up and bright green fit.  The block is called Grandma Mae's Economy Block.  Hence comes the name that has two ties to the project using the more Hawaiian fabrics and the block's name.  Kupuna Kane is defined as an elder of grandparent (grandfather) generation of Hawaiians.

Lastly, finished is this project coordinated by Hallie.  It is the last Sunshine BOM Win to stitch.  It was won from March 2024 Win.  This one has a very cute cat back and will be a donation to charity.  I love the Cats in the Moon quilting design.

This is where I sit and wait for my Etsy shipments.  My Mom says right now Kanopy is looking like a stadium with the dark middle square the stage LOL...I agree =^.^=  It will all look right when the darker strips (seating LOL) is added.

I am preparing for sewing on Friday at Rosie's.  Sparklers will be the project that day.

With Sparkler scraps this very cute Sparkle Star will be made as well.  Might not be on Friday, but scraps are being gathered for it now.

Until next time =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, June 16, 2024

Kouples finished this past week.  Better Together by Fat Quarter Shop 2024 Cupid Box quilt project.  I liked that this project came with the optional Finishing Kit.  Seems that I am never quick enough to order the extra fabrics before they are all sold out.

I found this "katsy" fabric for the back of Kupuna Kane.  (Kupuna Kane is a Hawaiian paternal grandfather.)  It is from a WIN at Sunshine during December 2022 coordinated by Tanya Althof.  The block is called Grandma Mae's Economy Block.  This fabric has been in my stash for a long time, but no more!

As you can see I was into kat fabrics!  This backing has been even longer in my stash.  This is the WIN at Sunshine during March 2024.  As you can see I am trying to get through both projects and stash a bit more timely.  Hallie McCoy coordinated this BOM.

Yardage used will be calculated soon, it amounts to the backs and sashing for the two projects.  I have three projects soon to make their way to Kerry.

Used this week: 0 yards 
Used YTD: 65.25 yards 
Purchased this week: 0 yard
Purchased YTD: 62.25 yards
Net used in 2024: 3 yards

Design Wall Monday, May 20, 2024

This is the next project to be worked.  Another 2022 UFO with Secret Stash fabrics from Laundry Basket Quilts.  I have all the fabrics, just need to start cutting.

Grandma Mae's Economy Block
Sunshine December 2022 BOM Win

Turkey Tracks
Sunshine November 2023 BOM Win

Pink Blocks

Sunshine February 2024 BOM Win

I am really not as lucky as it would appear.  These are all Sunshine BOM Wins with settings and assembly to figure out.  Turkey Tracks doesn't even require more than assembly.  I have the perfect setting fabrics for Pink Blocks and Grandma Mae's Economy Block.  I see each of these being finished real soon.  My retirement is getting ever closer.  There will be lots of fabric moving around in my sewing room. =^.^=

I nearly forgot.  A new pattern that just has to be made!  Kats of course...
