Here is Karess.  It Takes Two from Fat Quarter Shop 2022 Cupid Box.  All but the back came in the kit.  I only have left to sew the borders in place.

I got a bit creative with the back.  I almost had enough of the solid, but to make it a bit easier for Kerry to load, about four inches was added with the scraps and a couple of hearts like in the top did the trick.  I have more scraps from the top that will be used in a creative sleeve.  Binding in red for this project is ready to apply.

I have three more kits all cut and ready for me to sew...will it be Kauldron? Scary Faces (yet to be named)? or the December 2022 BOM win?  Maybe it should be the oldest UFO...one is 2022.  Care to take a guess?

Hope you have a great week =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, August 6, 2023

Hanging Boo was completed during the week.  This is a 2023 UFO...yippee!  The pattern is one of several from Suzanne's Art House Fall Mug Rugs & More pattern.  The button eyes are just their with a pin so you can see what it will look like once quilted.  Imagine I had a small green button for the crows eye =^.^=.  A trip to Joann's brought home the black buttons.  I think Kaper sounds good for this project.

Mom says she has several fabrics that will work for my Story Book Quilt project.  These are two of the background and pages portions ready to be made into books.  I hope to get a few more done to take with me on my annual visit that is coming up real soon.

Since Kaper finished I moved on to Karess.  This one is a pattern by Fat Quarter Shop called It Takes Two.  This is one of several hearts the project has in it.  I will share progress tomorrow on my Design Wall.  I had hoped to finish this and add another "used" fabric to my Stash Report, but I just could not get it finished today.  This one is also a 2023 UFO.  Another 2023 UFO soon completed =^.^=

I was able to change my stash numbers a bit this week with the finish of Kaper.  I did a bit of cross stitching and embroidered the face of the scarecrow block of Autumn Love while watching TV.  Take care my friends.
