Here is my next project.  I need Caleb to come up with another great name for a pumpkin quilt!  I'd like to find four more white orange prints instead of using all white, but if not white on white it will be.  This is the right time to start a project with pumpkins, don't you agree?

The design is called Mini Pumpkins by Sew Kind of Wonderful.  It uses the QCR Mini Ruler.  The project will finish at 36" square.  The background is tucked all the way back in the photo.  It is a gray, but not what you'll expect.  The green fabric is left from Kreate.  If I'd have had enough it would have been Kreate's binding.  My project will be orange pumpkins where the pattern has white and white pumpkins where the pattern has orange.

I'll be traveling soon to my parents home as I do every year.  This one will be special since my brother and his wife will be there part of the time too.  I plan to take this project just in case there comes free time for machine sewing.  The luggage comes out of storage tomorrow!  Enjoy your week =^.^=

Kreate

Kilkenny Kat

This week Kreate and Kilkenny Kat arrived from Kerry.  After handing off the 2019-2020 Sunshine Quilt Guild's Opportunity to Kathy I did a little bit of shopping at Rosie's.

The red is already cut into Kilkenny Kat's Binding.  The top fabric is from Rosie's Sale Room.  There will be a gray quilt in my future and this will make the perfect back.

I did try to match something up to Kalypso's background, but it wasn't too be.  Decision made to move on, assemble the blocks and light blue binding will finish it off.  I will be working on final assembly today after binding and sleeve are sewn down on Kreate and Kilkenny Kat.  Kreate will travel with me on the plane for hand stitching and Kilkenny Kat will be in my luggage if time permits to hand stitch if time permits.

So this week there is an add of six yards.  I will claim yardage for Kalypso next week.

Used this week:  0 yards

Used YTD:  97 yards

Purchased this week:  6 yards

Purchased YTD:  45.5 yards

Net used in 2019:  51.5 yards

I've been working on this project since it arrived.  Today the binding was prepared.  The quilt on its way from Kerry...  This is the 2019-2020 Sunshine Quilt Guild's Opportunity Quilt.  Members of the Guild took part in the making.  I assembled it, Kerry sewed down the yo-yos around the border and quilted it, and I received it back for binding, sleeve, and label.  Later this week I will hand it off to Kathy.

Chances for this beauty will be available starting at the San Diego Quilt Show that begins Thursday.  We hope to help the Guild with lots of chance sold at the Show and throughout the year.  The winner will be selected at our June 2020 meeting.  If you have an interest in winning...let me know!
