My 2021 - 2022 Sunshine Challenge project was ready to present at the meeting last Tuesday.  The Challenge was a Beetles theme using three provided fabrics and having a beetle not a Beetle in the project.  No win for me, but I overheard nice comments while the membership voted for their favorite two.  Mine has the Beetles song Roll Over Beethoven using fabric 1 in the sheet music, fabric 2 in the lyrics, and fabric 3 in the beetle of the three letter "Os" as well as the binding.  Notice the dog Beethoven from the Universal Pictures movies that began in 1992.  Beethoven has a top hat on and is rolling over between the four vinyl records.  The back shares the lyrics and the story of Beethoven. 

Challenge fabrics are on the right with fabric 1 at the top, fabric 2 next, and fabric 3 at the bottom.  The fabric on the left is the back and the middle is the background.

The fabric charm packs were given for participation in the Challenge and a door prize win.  The evening was packed with all kinds of fun!

The rest of this week will be on catching up on all the binding projects, finishing Hearts of Hope, and hopefully cutting out Kauldron.  Hope your week catches you up on starts and finishes.

Sunday Stash Report, May 8, 2022

I've been really busy working on my 2021 - 2022 Sunshine Quilt Guild Challenge all week.  I have it done now with the exception of sewing down the sleeve and adding the label.  I will be able to share my project this time next week.  I am pretty excited about it.  Once this is done I can concentrate on the getting ready for the annual Sunshine Retreat that is this weekend.  I leave on Thursday...getting very excited=^.^=

Kerry is here this weekend with her family.  She had a few hours yesterday to spend time with me at my home.  It has been awhile since she was here last.  I usually go to her family in Santee for a few hours visiting.  She came with three projects she was working on for me all quilted up!

The top photo is an addition to Krush that is for Tiffany for her birthday later this month.  I still have the binding to finish on Krush since that was pushed to the side to work on the Challenge.  Katching Kluckers is above and Karre is below.

All of these need finishing touches.  I must get ready for the retreat before I can get back to them.

So this week I will claim yardage used on the Challenge.  Nice to have the numbers change in a positive direction.

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, May 1, 2022

 

Did a bit of damage to my net stash report.  I needed four plus a light weight black fabric for the project I can't share quite yet.  Met up with my friend Sue and had a quick shopping experience.  I promise to share this project in a couple of weeks as it must be done a week from Tuesday!

Kerry received four projects to quilt on Saturday.  We plan to look at threads and patterns soon for the quilting.

Have a wonderful week =^.^=

Used this week: 0 yards

I am very busy on my challenge project.  I have a plan and taking the necessary steps to get there.  Of course I can't share =^.^=

Krush has binding sewn down and ready for hand sewing.  I also have a matching item ready for Kerry.  If you think that is all that is ready to go to Kerry...you would be wrong.

Hope you have a lovely week.
