Sunday Stash Report, March 13, 2022

Keli is complete except sewing down the sleeve and a label. Those two last tasks will be done today. It was nice that Kerry was able to get this back to me in time for St. Patrick's Day. If you look real close you can see that it is quilted with a very pale green; a good choice.

I found a bit of time to get further on my Sweet Apple project. This one will be used during the Summer months and lead into Fall. The white one white is varied in the apples but a school scheme in the sashing and outer border. I tried to be a bit different in the leaves of the apples, but messed up in the placement of the blocks on the top row. I want them in reverse and will make that happen after a visit with my "Clover". The pinwheels and the rest of the quilt top aren't sewn together which leaves it looking off. That of course will change when the seams bring it in and all together. I will be binding this one with red.

Hope your week ahead is a good one =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, March 7, 2022

A bit of cutting units. First up is Sweet Apple. I made the block smaller than the pattern called for. I'll use four blocks surrounded by a cute "school theme" white on white background. Add pinwheel blocks like you see in the second photo.

This is Sunshine's March BOM. Tulips are to be made. I will be making my tulip yellow.

Nothing else to share today. My design wall is empty until I have time to get into my sewing room =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, March 6, 2022

Friday I met up with my friend Bonnie at Rosie's. Bonnie wanted a little help on selecting fabrics for a project she is about to start. Her plan is to work on it during a quilting retreat at her home in Yuma, AZ at the end of this month. While at Rosie's I found fabric for binding the Lonestar quilt. The red should do nicely.

I also fell in love with two samples that were displayed in the store. Fortunately, the patterns were available. Yes I'm crazy to get another Halloween project, but couldn't resist. I also have a sunflower pattern, but this one I like better. This company puts out some very cute patterns. My great nephew is into "owls" right now. These projects are small which is great.

During the week fabric I ordered for my Mom arrived. I'll be matching up two more fabrics for each fabric in the photo.

I did take time to cut out some Sweet Apple blocks, but didn't get around to sewing them. Tim's brother and sister in law were weekend guests so no sewing took place. Just one change to my stash this week.
