Sunday Stash Report, January 12, 2014

Well here I go starting off my 2014 Stats with a negative...  Wish I could have a completion to net the purchase out, but not quite yet.  I am preparing for workshops I'll be taking at Road to California Quilt Show that takes place two weeks from now.  My purchase this week is the white I'll need for Star Fusion by Janna Thomas.  This strips are from my stash and will make up the strata for the stars.  The workshop is to be led by the Bloc Loc Ruler folks.  If you haven't had an opportunity to try the Bloc Loc rulers your missing out on great rulers that give perfect results.  Though I don't have to count the fabric yet I have ordered these Kaffee Fassett and Brandon Mably fabrics from Glorious Color website.  I had hoped to get them from Rosie's Calico Cupboard where I purchased the white, but none of them were available.

White

Pastel Millefiore

Pastel Waves

Pastel Rings

The next fabrics to get are for the workshop by Linda Ballard called Harmony Square.  Besides the background I may be able to find all of the fabrics in my stash.

I'm still working on Krossfire.  I sure would love to have it done!  I still have to get going on my January UFO...  This month is moving pretty fast already.  See what others are doing in their sewing rooms through the links at Patchwork Times.

Design Wall Monday, January 6, 2014

 I had Celtic Solstice on the design wall playing around with placement of colors through Saturday.  Once I was happy with it full steam ahead in putting the pieces into blocks.  I have the blocks all together now and the inner white border in place.  Not too happy with how the pieced border fit :(!

I have seam ripper in hand!  I will need to look for something appropriate for the outer border.  I sure like the way this mystery turned out.

It is back to work for me today after being off since Christmas Eve.  Ugh!  Hope you have time to look at all the wonderful projects at Quiltville and Patchwork Times.

Sunday Stash Report, January 5, 2014

Today I've been preparing the next section of Krossfire.  This is part of the border where the design connects to the stars.

During the week I worked on finishing the outer pieces of the border.   

These pieces surround the center stars that are below.  

There is one more section yet to go...the corners.  Krossfire should be done very soon now.  This project is one of the last two to complete of my 2011 UFOs.  It is a Judy Niemeyer design called Jumping Jax Flash.

At zeros as I begin my 2014 Stash Reports, but not for long!
