Shamrock Table Runner
2020 UFO

Lot's of completions to share today.  Mom received the table runner made for her St. Patrick's Day decorations.  I haven't seen how it looks on the table; photos promised!

Sunshine UFO #2

The Sunshine Quilt Guild UFO Challenge has been met for March.  The meeting is Tuesday so I am all set.

Kruella
2019 UFO

Kruella was one of three projects that came from Kerry recently.  Only 12 inches square is this wool project.  I am pleased with how it turned out.

Flying Geese Demo UFO

Several years ago the Flying Geese Demonstration at Sunshine Shine Quilt Guild yielded all kinds of green flying geese.  I made a few more and this project came together.  It isn't very large, but I'm sure will be loved by someone.  It will be for the charity the guild supports.

UFO from Mom #1

The first of two projects from the polka dot four patches finished.  It is just so funny that after the two tops were made that Mom found the pattern they were intended to be used.  These four patches and the red fabric languished not only in Mom's sewing room, but then in mine for years.

So I have some yardage used to take a dent out of my stash this week.

Used this week:  11 yards

Used YTD:  23 yards

Purchased this week:  0 yards

Purchased YTD:  10.5 yards

Net used in 2020: 12.5 yards

Sunday Stash Report, February 16, 2020

I have the Shamrock Table Runner and two audio books to keep me occupied on the flight to Tampa.  

I plan to take Kastaway and the jewel kit with me for putting the bling on.  The pattern for Kastaway came from a quilt shop in the Tampa area.  Perhaps I'll pick up another in the series and share my project with them.

More from purchases at the 2020 Road to California Quilt Show arrived this week.  I also have a refreshed Yazzii bag.  Kerry had this one and wanted a different style Yazzii bag so I offered to take it off her hands =^.^=

I learned at the Sunshine Guild February Meeting that the UFO #2 will be the challenge to get done before the March Meeting.  Tonya who is the coordinator for the charity we support had some cute backs available so I selected this cute piece for one that will be made.  Perhaps #2 will work with it.  I didn't purchase it and it will be gone shortly so no inclusion in my stash status.

Working still on Kavort (Bonnie Hunter's Frolic).  Come back to see where I am with it tomorrow on my Design Wall Monday report.  Until next time =^.^=

Used this week:  0 yards

Sunday Stash Report, February 9, 2020

There is a completion out of my sewing room this week!  Love it =^.^=  The Shamrock Table Runner for my Mom is finished.  Today it should be at Kerry's Quilting in AZ thanks to Priority Mail.

It didn't take too much fabric, but there were lots of 1.5 inch squares of green to be cut - 108 of them.  I became acquainted once again with my Phaff's ability to perform the blanket stitch.

Once the time sensitive Shamrock project was finished Kavort took center stage.  I have it all paired up and ready for the final stitching of Part 9/Reveal.

There was some cutting involved, but not too much.  This last part puts all the Parts previously sewn together.

These are the four-patches from Part 1.

The first block pieced and arranged.  With all the seams in these units I will be pressing before block assembly.  For a short time longer the pattern Frolic is available at Quiltville.

I made it out of the red, but not by much.  Stats this week:

Used this week:  2 yards

Used YTD:  12 yards

Purchased this week:  0 yards

Purchased YTD:  10.5 yards

Net used in 2020: 1.5 yards

Design Wall Monday, February 3, 2020

On my Design Wall are the blocks, sashing, and borders for the Shamrock Table Runner that will be for my Mom.  At the point now to blanket stitch down the clovers and stems.  I will be doing this with my machine.  It can do a great blanket stitch.  Next will be to put the four blocks together with sashing and...you know the rest.  I hope to have this one done and in the mail to Kerry this weekend.

Design Wall Monday, January 27, 2020

These are my new patterns/kits that I will be working on this year.  I've been working to change my Christmas theme to the truck and trailer that is popular now.  I'll let the patterns speak for themselves.  These are wool projects.  There is another coming a wreath ornament and a Christmas tree ornament.  And you can see that Halloween creeps in too!

 

This is a 12 month project.

These next ones will be made in cottons.

The mermaid might be for next year!  There are also a couple of patterns that are making their way to me that use the specialty Spider Web ruler by Creative Grids.  Need to find other uses for this ruler other than the recently made Krazy Kristmas Konifer table runners.  Coffee Break table runner and Krazy Hearts table runner both by Karla Alexander of Cut Loose Press will be fun to make.

As for my projects today.  On my Design Wall is #3 that is part of 2019-2020 Sunshine Quilt Guild UFO Challenge.  This is a charity quilt too.

I'm also working away at the Shamrock table runner that will be for my Mom.  Need to ask my Sister if she wants one too.  As you can see I'm in the very beginning of the applique stages.  The 1.5 inch 9-patches are done and the two rectangles attached to all 12 units.  Next comes the placement of the fusible transfer to the placement on the 9-patch unit.  There will be three clover units on each of the four blocks.  I'll machine stitch the units in place on the background next.

There is more in work that is a surprise for my grand nephew whose been named Greyson Thomas.  My niece is 20 weeks along at this point.  The parents got some distressing news recently that will require Greyson to have surgery soon after he come into the world.  Please keep him in your prayers.

Enough for this post.  "K" name suggestions accepted for any one of the many new projects that are planned.  Come hear what's happening in my sewing room on Sunday =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, October 27, 2019

Another 2019 UFO finished.  Thanks to Heather for the name suggestion, Kats' Kall.  This one goes to Kerry next week for quilting.  I have a few whiskers and facial features to hand stitch in place yet, but it will be in the mail soon.  The pieces at the bottom are the gray (binding) and paisley (backing).  All but two FQs from stash.  I'll have to look through what 2019 UFOs are left on the list to see which one calls out loudest!

I spent time this week on cutting out the Shamrock table runner and organizing the 2011 October BOM win (Kerry won) into several small projects to be offered at an upcoming craft fair.  The proceeds from our booth will go towards Sunshine Guild activities.  Kerry and I are both using stash for most of the five projects.  There will need to be a little purchasing, but it is for a good cause and won't impact our stash.

During the week I'll be working on cutting the pieces for yet another holiday project.  This one reminds me of my friend Bonnie.  It will make a nice gift for her.  Still more fabrics to add in, but the candles are well handled.  The darker batik will be the background.

Used this week:   10 yards

Used YTD:  132.75 yards

Purchased this week:  0 yards

Purchased YTD:  51.5 yards
