Design Wall Monday, February 29, 2016

Today is truly a Design Wall Monday!  My wall is full of Kaffe Kisses...  I have yet to decide on an arrangement but all the units are sewn.  The next step is deciding on the arrangement then continuing with the sewing.  There is still trimming involved too.

I found the tool you see excellent for lining up the edges for the curve seams of Step 9 in the process.

As mentioned yesterday here is where I am with the many "in work" projects that grace my sewing room.  Are you ready?

Kourageous

Patchwork of the Crosses
(needs a name)

Kastaway

Kutarug

Kilimanjaro

Kalvery

Kanton Kull

Quilt Square Quilt Along
(needs a name)

Feel free to help me with a few "K" names...  Kourageous is the dusty one with Quilt Square Quilt Along right behind.  Patchwork of the Crosses will probably be last to finish.  All the rest are fairly new with another new one starting on Tuesday.  March UFO is soon to be named in 52Quilts lottery.  See more great projects today through the links at Patchwork Times.  Happy Leap Year Day =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, February 28, 2016

Let me start with Kwill that has been completed.  This is my first feathered star project.  I've done a couple of others, but they were for other projects not mine.  You can check out the making of Kwill (and any other in work projects) through the Label on the right side bar.  I can see the possibility of more feathered stars in my future.

Earlier in the week I took on part of a project for my friend Bonnie.  She's hoping to get this Judy Niemeyer project complete for her Mother-in-Law this year.  This is the bottom outside border of Judy's Flowers for my Wedding Ring design.

I finished all the vines and leaves on my piece.  Thursday evening the light pink flower finished.  DeLinda is helping too.  Between the three of us this project will be done before her Mother-in-Law's Birthday rolls around again.

This last weekend of February my attention was turned to completing my BOMs.  My second one Kalvery was done on Saturday.  It was much the same as January two large blocks and six smaller blocks.  The large blocks are 12" and the smaller ones 6" finished. Once the design wall is available I plan to layout the pieces done so far to see how it is looking.  

The third and last of the February BOMs to finish is Kanton Kull.  This was the start of February's "Chapter".  It is a 12 month series, but instead of each month where a block is produced, this project's segments are rounds.  The fabrics on the left are for February.  The block on the right is Chapter 1.  This project is heavy cutting; not to mention precise unit measurements.

Before bedtime last night the Delectable Mountain blocks were assembled and ready for the final seams of Chapter 2.  I will be finishing this up today.  Don't you just love the red fabrics?  Just wait to you see all of them!

No change to stash this week.  I have so much happening in my sewing room that finishes might take awhile...but that's the enjoyment...working on each of them.  Visit tomorrow for a view at all the projects I have in work and just where they are in their process.  Link into Patchwork Times if you have time.

Design Wall Monday, February 22, 2016

I spent much of the day cutting and trimming.  These are Block 4 and the 7-12 small stars.  I did get the pieces together for Block 3 of Kalvery.

I trimmed down the wedges of Kaffe Kisses and the next part which is the melon.  Here is where I have managed to sneak in my cats.  They are usually never very obvious.  By the time the units have their final trim they will be undetectable!

We have started the second season of Outlander on Netflix.  I just love listening to the Scottish accents. Time for binding...first up is Kwill.

Lots more to look at today through the links of Patchwork Times.  Enjoy your week.
