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.

Sunday Stash Report, May 26, 2024

 

This week can't turn the USED numbers in my stash, but as you can see this Sunshine 2024 BOM Win is ready to assemble.  This gets a pink scrappy binding.

This one too is ready to assemble.  It is the Sunshine 2022 BOM Win.  Thanks to Kerry for the excellent suggestion of the square in a square in and around the center four blocks being green rather than black like the outside.  This will get a black scrappy binding.

This is an add.  It is a Mystery called Spooky & Sweet with Fat Quarter Shop.  Clues start in June.  It isn't often that I sew project with solids.  The peek at Fat Quarter Shop pulled me in!

I have one more Sunshine BOM Win that will be worked on later today along with assembly of the first two I shared at the beginning of this post, but first meeting up with Christine for a movie.  We are seeing IF.  It should be fun and entertaining.

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...

Design Wall Monday, March 18, 2024

 

Another UFO completed.  This Truck of the Month July by Erica Made is so cute.  It will fit perfectly in my kitchen nook.  I've been wanting to finish this for a long time.  It has been cut out just waiting its time under the needle.  So here it is!

I also had inspiration that Kerry would like this too.  So I made one for her in her favorite color RED.

This one is for my friend Ray.  He is into antique cars and has a yellow one.  I set this aside for his birthday that was in October. It soon will be gifted to him once quilted.  All three of these will be headed off to Kerry for her magic before the end of the week.

I won the Sunshine's Block of the Month coordinated by Hallie.  These are the blocks received with some leftover to make another block pink center block units.  I will be playing around with a complementary layout in coming days.

Both Story Book Quilt projects returned from Kerry quilted.  Look close at the cute owl pattern that was found by Anne Bright called Who's There.  Thread selected shows up the design well on the teal flannel that was also used for the backing.  There are two of these to bind when I return from my visit to parents and sister.  I also have the binding for Kilowatts to finish...Love the binding!!

I am also working to have the Baby Ducks done along with the Truck quilts and my Sunshine 2023-2024 UFO (a surprise due in May) in the mail to Kerry for quilting by Friday.  I am ready for Thursday sewing to put the sashing together and cut a backing.  Wish me luck!

My next post will be from Maryland as I travel on Saturday.  I'm excited to see parents and sister.  Perhaps my brother-in-law, niece/family, and nephew/girlfriend will be around to visit with too.  Happy Spring everyone =^.^=
