Sunday Stash Report, August 9, 2020

A completion this week in Kandi.  This project is a 2020 #6 UFO.  Frankly I didn't think it would finish so quick.  The pattern is called Sugar Sand Beach by Atkinson Designs.  All the fabrics were gifted to me (thanks Mom and her guild).  I brought this down to 1 1/2 inch strips from the jelly roll.  This is the layout for a lap size, but when brought down in size it finished at 36 inches by 42 inches.  My sister offered several ideas with Kandi as the first word for a name.  I decided it only needed one name!

These are the the fabrics for the binding and back.  My stash is not strong with yardage pieces so this one will be 8 1/2 inch squares sewn together.

This project will be a Sunshine Charity quilt for one of the kids at Becky's House.  There are two sets of orphan blocks that make most of this project.  My friend Bonnie gifted me the pink kitty fabric that worked well here.  The basic pattern is comprised of 2 inch finished 9-patches.

These fabrics will be used for back and binding.  More will be needed from my stash!  It is there just waiting for me to find it!

Saturday three projects arrived quilted from Kerry.  I will be getting the binding ready and look forward to some patio time and/or relaxing in my family room chair.

So the stash numbers change this week with the finish of two projects.  I'm one step closer to having all 2020 UFOs done =^.^=

Krispin is complete!  Yippee another UFO from 2019 finished.  This project had me using a new stitch on my Pfaff that otherwise would have continued to be just one more stitch the machine offered unused =^.^=  Krispin will be headed to Kerry's Quilting this week along with the January 2017 BOM Win from UFO 2020 list (project #7) that became two charity quilts.

Mom sent fabrics from her stash for the backs.  The nautical one is my favorite. 

Two other fabrics large enough for backs came from Mom as well.  I think the patriotic batik was mine to begin with LOL.

The mail also brought the last of the tools ordered for Lori Holt projects that are in my queue.  There are three projects now of Lori Holt's so they will get use.  The long awaited 1 inch and 3/8 inch bias tape makers and the turning tool she says is her favorite.

For my friend Bonnie, I completed a project she was stalled on.  It is a panel of flowers and humming birds that she was outline quilting.  It is ready for binding now, but Bonnie will see this part through.

So turn the numbers to account for the finish of Krispin...a whopping 1.25 yards!  Another 2019 UFO will begin this week; #4 Nines in Blue by Pam Buda.

Used this week:  1.25 yards

Used YTD:  82.75 yards

Net used in 2020: 68.75 yards

My Great Nephew Greyson goes in tomorrow morning at 7am eastern for Open Heart Surgery to repair two parts there that are not as they should be.  It is very scary, but a procedure that isn't too uncommon for the surgeons.  It will be a long day for our families.  Keep this strong little guy in your thoughts and prayers.

Because I needed some quick gratification not to mention the need to complete UFOs...  I pulled out #7 2020 UFO to finish.  This was a Sunshine BOM Win where Kerry got lucky a few years back.  It was offered by Terrie as the January 2017 BOM.  There were lots of members who participated, 37 to be exact.  I split up a few of the blocks to make the borders on each of these.  Nearly every participant chose to make the block with the white out.  So for the blue version one of the blocks was reassembled.  Terrie supplied the blue and we were to provide a light neutral in either white, cream, or beige.  My Mom has backs to send me for both of these that will end up as charity projects.  Kerry will quilt them and I'll finish them up with binding.  #7 2020 UFO COMPLETE!

Do you notice the different layouts?  They aren't very obvious I will admit.  This is the white version.  Each of them will finish around 43" x 55".

This is the cut pieces of the next UFO from 2019 this time.  It is #4 a pattern by Pam Buda called Nines in Blue.  This one finishes at 18" x 20".  I haven't been to a quilt shop for fabric in it seems forever =^.^=  My stash is getting me through this time to stay at home.  

These threads arrived on Friday from Primitive Gatherings.  One of the greens will work and the burgandy for Krispin (formerly known by the pattern name Back In Time).  Crispin Glover played George McFly in the movie Back to the Future.  

Nothing spins the numbers although there has been two finishes in #7 2020 UFO.  I have lots to show tomorrow on Krispin's progress.  Head back tomorrow if you have the time.  Until then do take care of yourself!
