Sunday Stash Report, November 15, 2015

Now I have it right!  I mentioned that several of the blocks might have been turned wrong when I stitched up the top.  I was right, six blocks had the four patch going the wrong direction.  So happy to find out before it was quilted.  Back to Kerry's Quilting queue it will go.

Erica's Craft and Sewing Center in South Bend, IN had the fabrics I've been looking for for my Snowy Day project.  It was on sale too!  I mentioned seeing this project a few weeks ago.  I had been on the hunt for something that would work, but not successful.  The fabrics arrived yesterday, so after stitching flying santas...snowflakes will be on my sewing table.

Today I'm working on flying santas.  Check in tomorrow for my progress.  Hope you have time to sit and sew today.  See other projects through Patchwork Times.

Design Wall Monday, November 9, 2015

Koronado
53" x 67"

Nothing to share new on my Design Wall today.  I finished the binding, sleeve, and label on Koronado while watching Sunday football games.  I also stitched down the sleeves of three other quilts as well as their labels.  Sunshine Quilt Guild meets on Tuesday so I have been getting my finished projects together for sharing.  I have the four blocks for the opportunity quilt done along with one extra.  The November BOM is done too.

Tonight it is back to Katchaklaus...

Have a great week and check out more projects through the links today at Patchwork Times.

Sunday Stash Report, November 8, 2015

Saturday I picked up Chapter 11 of A Prairie Gathering from Country Loft in La Mesa.  Only one more Chapter to get before I'll have the entire kit.  Kerry and I plan to stitch our chapters one a month starting in January.

A finish for my Mom's UFO was Friday.  Saturday I picked up a back and batting for it.  Pink thread for the quilting and a quilt stitch design that looks real close to the design in the focus fabric.  The pink thread will really standout against the white back.  Can you see the Storm at Sea pattern created by the block placement.  Wonder if I should have had all the center four-patches going in the same direction...  May have to hold the quilting until I figure this out.

Friday this quilty gift arrived from Aunt Marti.  She picks a random winner for participation in the UFO monthly parade.  I won in October.  The parade is the first day of each month.  If you have time December 1st is a day to look at 52quilts.com.

My stats change with the addition of Chapter 11.  No change for my Mom's UFO since I didn't purchase the fabric.  Now my design wall is barren!  Time to get back to my flying santas.
