Sunday Stash Report, September 15, 2019

Kalypso finishes this week.  I would have liked to finish off the outside storm at sea pattern, but ran out of the background fabric.  A small effort to find something suitable took place with no avail.  Everything else tried competed with the design.  There is probably some other alternative that could have worked, but nothing I tried was making me happy =^.^=  It finishes just 3" all around smaller which is okay with me.  The light blue will be the binding once Kerry has it quilted.  Kalypso goes in the mail to Kerry's Quilting before the month is out.

Used this week:  11.75 yards

Used YTD:  108.75 yards

Purchased this week:  0 yards

Net used in 2019:  61 yards

Design Wall Monday, September 9, 2019

Fit to Frame (YTBN) has two more finished blocks.  The 5+ hours to travel from the West Coast to the East Coast and back allowed for much of this to be stitched.  The two on the right were finished this trip

The binding and sleeve are in place now on Kreate.  It is a cute project that will find a place in my work space where I spend most of my time nine hours away from my sewing room.

Kilkenny Kat is now with binding and sleeve complete.  I shared it along with Kreate at my Mom's quilt guild meeting which I was fortunate to attend.  There was a special presentation from the Quilts of Valor representatives from the area.  They were very interested in the design along with Bonnie Hunter enthusiast.

I'll be heading to my quilt guild's first meeting of the 2019-2020 membership year on Tuesday.  It is an Ice Cream Social!  I'm going to resist the temptation =^.^=  Kreate and Kilkenny Kat are planned for Show and Tell.  The rest of the week I hope to finish up Kalypso and dig into Koach.

Enjoy your week ahead.

These were gifts from Mom.  She won her guild's challenge with her ugly fabric bowl.  Her winnings were the six woven plaids on the left.  Mom's not doing much sewing with this type of fabric..works for me :)!  The purple batik was on the free table at her guild; Mom thought of me, yeah.

I can always use neutrals and these FQs (three on the top of the stack) are a good addition.  The white-on-white that is difficult to make out are flamingos.  With the flamingo fetish in full swing...why not?  The dancers was in the sale room at Material Girls with a one yard minimum.  I purchased the minimum and shared half with Kerry.  It will make an interesting addition to a project in the future.

As you can see these four FQs are just what I was after for the last four white with orange fabrics for Koach.  One is from Material Girls and the other three from Michelle's Quilts.  My fabric needs have been met; this project will start in earnest shortly.

So this week there is an add of 2.25 yards.  I didn't finish Kalypso as thought last week.  Maybe this week =^.^=  Come back tomorrow to see my progress on the applique project (Fit to Frame, YTBN) that I work on during my flights across the great USA!
