Sunday Stash Report, October 6, 2019

The football games of today had me hand stitching "Joy". It is a mug rug from a kit that I picked up somewhere along the line. I used thermal batting so it should hold the heat off any surfaces. DH says its too nice to put his mug on..."aren't I afraid it will get stained?"

During the week Kerry sent me back Koach. It was also finished during the day. Just in time for Halloween. The background reminds me of a stormy evening.

The last Krazy Kristmas Konifer project was finished. All three that were made are on their way to Kerry for quilting. She should receive them on Tuesday.

Nothing changes the numbers this week, but I do plan a stop at Paradise Sewing tomorrow on my way home. There are a couple of bright greens I'd like to find to work with my next project The Cat's Meow! Wait until you see these kitties =^.^=

The third Crazy Christmas Tree project is well on its way. There have been some unfortunate delays getting it to the finish as I had expected on Sunday. This Krazy Kristmas Konifer will be done before the week is concludes. Karen gets this one =^.^=

Hope your week ahead won't be as sore as mine will be in the next couple of days.

Sunday Stash Report, September 29, 2019

It is nice to show both starts and finishes...wouldn't you agree? Let me start with a finish. Knock Kneed (Florence Flamingo by Elizabeth Hartman) is done. I really like it with the stripe binding. I played around with the idea of a black flamingo after making all nine in pink. There is such a thing, the last sighting of one was in the Akrotiri Environmental Centre on the southern coast of Cyprus April 8, 2015. This is thought to be a result of a genetic condition which causes it to generate more of the pigment melanin, turning it dark rather than the usual pink color.

When you have the blocks made you might as well use them. This is the back where that ninth pink flamingo was fitted into the bottom left corner.

Now for the starts and finishes that I will be claiming this week =^.^= These are gifts for Christmas that Karen and Mom will get the early part of December in time for displaying this holiday season. I have already shared the red version that Rita will be gifted. These were fun to make, nearly addictive. The green version is my second with this pattern.

These fabrics are what I am sewing on today. The third for the pattern is a mix of the green and red trees which is nearly done. The fabric at the top is the back. Since I spoke to Karen first she had first selection. She'll be happiest with the mixed version.

Finally I will share a birthday gift for myself; a Hot-fix Applicator Kit. All this fits into the black bag. Purchased through Amazon from Afantti. I haven't used it yet, but the three Krazy Kristmas Konifers (Crazy Christmas Trees by Karla Alexander) will be bedazzled along with Kastaway. Thanks Heather from Peachy Pages for helping me out with a cute name.
