Koastline arrived Thursday from Kerry.  WOW!  The quilting is absolutely lovely.  I am working on the binding, sleeve, and label now.  The project is large so this will take me some time.

O Say...Can You Sew! Clue 3 released today from Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings.  If you didn't have a chance to complete or save off the previous clues you will have to purchase them now.  I have the first two clues sewn into units having done this at the Sunshine Retreat mid-May.

I plan on sewing Week 4 of Lori Holt's Autumn Love this week.  I have the first three weeks of sewing done.  Week four is all about pieced blocks, small stars, harvest blocks, and the lettering in this project.

Tuesday is the last meeting of Sunshine Quilt Guild 2021-2022 year and with that meeting comes the drawing of the winner for the Opportunity Quilt.

 This week was nothing but scraps!  This arrived during the week.  Along with two projects from Kerry.  I will share these projects in a future post...Houston Scraps.

All week I've been working on Houston Scraps.  I am not sure this is a charity project or not.  Seems a bit "older" than what we usually donate to the YMCA Becky's House.  Maybe a teen will enjoy a smaller project.  It will not be something to wrap around ones body.

I have also been working on my Mom's project that goes to a friend of hers great niece.  The Milk Cow made in white and brown, the theme for the nursery.  I am getting close on this getting to a quilter!

Hope your week ahead is wonderful =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, June 5, 2022

The goal for this past week is complete!  This is Bonnie Hunter's Hearts of Hope.  It was a sew along that started in March.  After pulling from my strip stash as much as possible it finally got into string units during the Sunshine Quilt Retreat mid-May.  Parts 1 and 2 were done at the Retreat.  The project sat a bit while I finished up a time sensitive birthday gift...the matching bench pillow to Krush...

This pillow was quite a challenge to mail!  Tiffany loved it.  Next finishing the binding on Karre...

Then finishing up Katching Kluckers...

With these done it was back to Hearts of Hope...

More strips were cut; this time moving into my yardage.  This started Part 3.

These finished, 16 to one side and 16 to the other, left me with four yellow string units for the corner stones.  I found in my stash, think it came from Mom, a cute white with blue hearts for the third border...

Saturday I finished the project!  Goal met!  YIPPEE.  I have a dark blue to use for the back.  Not sure about binding color right now.  Bonnie suggested yellow.  Audition will come after it gets quilted.  I will let Kerry choose the thread color and quilt design.  She should have it mid-week.

So excited to change my fabric stats this week.  The finish doesn't happen to be a UFO from my list, but it is one that I wanted done to offer comfort to those suffering in Ukraine.
