Happy Friday! I'm home today listening to the rain...what a wonderful sound in San Diego =^.^=
I have Kanine Karnivores complete. Kerry will take it back on Tuesday for a few finishing quilting stitches around their faces. Placement of the eyes necessary for Kerry to finish the magic she creates.
Today, besides a little dusting, I am catching up on three different BOMs. All three need April and May offerings finished. Lot's of cutting...

Marti of 52Quilts.com selected the next UFO to work on this month. I have a wonderful project that will be called Kayenne! The pattern has been in my bucket list for quite some time.

| High Desert Paprika |
The design is by Valorie Wells of the Stitchin' Post. It makes a project that is 80" x 92. The original project was the 2007 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show raffle quilt. This is certainly going to be a challenge to assemble as well as have it done in May!

| Participant Turn In One quarter block and two 6 1/2" squares of black/white print |
Much of Sunday was spent on preparing the BOM that I am coordinating for May's Sunshine Quilt Guild's meeting. The next photos are all about the project.

Sunday Stash Report, May 1, 2016
Happy May Day!
Nothing moving this week in my stash. Not a bad thing really. I have been concentrating on the finishing touches on Kontentment and Kanine Karnivores.
I haven't started yet on the marking of the black outer border for the scallop edge that is planned for Kontentment (aka Allietare). The decision was reached to use the red as the binding. Kanine Karnivores has binding machine sewn down; ready for the hand stitching and button eyes to be applied. This project will go back to Kerry for some final quilting stitches around the eyes.
I suppose if I wanted to claim the little bits of fabrics that I pulled from my stash for the Sunshine Quilt Guild April BOM coordinated by Teresa I could. It does become difficult with pieces not much larger than 4" x 6". The purple circle still needs to be stitched down, but isn't the bird house cute?
Here are my numbers as May begins... See more quilters using their stash at Patchwork Times.
Used this week: 0 yards
Used YTD: 88.25 yards
Purchased this week: 0 yards
Purchased YTD: 33 yards
Net used in 2016: 55.25 yards
