Today is a bright holiday!  I sure wish we could be sharing this day again like we have the last three weeks with my Mom.  Unfortunately, today I am up bright and early driving her to the airport.  It has been a great trip this year, but as we've brought up many times today...all good things have to come to an end.

I'll be in my sewing room today working on Violet and Ivy's frocks or hand stitching one of two quilts that need the binding put in place.  I finished up two and they are on my website should you wish to view them.  Kissin' Korner 2 and Kalvery are complete.

Happy 4th to you and yours.

Kakes in the Kribyard came back from Kerry's Quilting this past weekend.  It is really a purple quilt!  I have a solid purple planned for the binding.  Need to see if there is enough to get around this 33" x 39" project.

Kerry also went to a retreat in Texas while Mom and I attended the retreat in Temecula.  I got a Dear Jane charm pack as a gift from her trip.  It is a bit difficult to see all eight fabrics.  Some wonderful small scale prints in various colors.  Thanks Kerry!

Violet and Ivy are going to get some cute dresses soon.  When I was a Beverly's recently there was an adorable pattern that crossed my eyes.  Knowing I had several cute juvenile prints in my stash it had to come home with me.  The girls are Kerry's grandchildren that I see often.

The top right project is my #12 UFO called for working in July.  It isn't a large project, but I will be starting from scratch.  There will be more on Kapture through the month of July.

Sunday Stash Report, July 2, 2017

The last of the dresses are done.  These and the others last posted about went into the mail on Friday.  Wish the members of Sunshine Quilters could see the looks on the girls faces as they receive these cute frocks!

Nothing to change my statistics this week.  My UFO for July is #12.  It is a project that starts from a pattern with nothing stitched.  It is one of the smaller projects on my list.

Used this week:  0 yards
Used YTD: 82.75 yards
Purchased this week:  0 yards
Purchased YTD:  19.5 yards
Net used in 2017:  63.25 yards

In the meantime Mom and I will be cutting batting for the projects recently finished.  There is also some trimming needed for Kakes in a Kribyard that I got back from Kerry yesterday.  See more of what's going on in my home tomorrow and on my Mom's blog SewWhatElse.
