Sunny Side Up sewing is on a fast track to finish looked like this after Sunday.  You can notice that the low volume 9-patch blocks have started.  The three unit pieces are lined up for mixing and matching.

This is what I have left to assemble.  One of each to keep the fabrics moving across the project.

I have to sew a few more strip sets together and cut some 3" squares to finish the project.  Variety scattered about throughout. 

You can see that it goes fast!  Are you ready to hear what I have decided on a name for Emma's quilt?  It will be Kanary since it is so yellow!  If you look close notice how it is setting up on the outsides that will be cut straight.  There's going to be lots of low volume scraps for a next project.

Kerry is coming for a visit later this week.  We are meeting up at Rosie's!  Expect a rise in my stash on Sunday.  My Phaff goes for a service on Thursday.  Anxious to hear her purr...  Spring has definitely sprung in San Diego.  Enjoy the rest of your week.  

Sunday Stash Report, March 28, 2021

 

All sorts of project completed and on their way tomorrow to new owners.  This is Koney with it's very fluffy tail on its way to Greyson.  I have plans to make it even smaller for myself.  The fabrics are set aside and ready to be cut.  It will be fun to use the scraps from Koney when I make mine.

Karota is extra cute and it has a decoration or two or three on the way to Mom and Dad.  Mom has all the walnut shells needed to fill these carrots.  I have them stuffed with tissue paper for now.

Finally, Karen's Kupid's Kurtsy 2 that is a belated or perhaps early for Valentine's Day is also on the way to her.  It is finished with a red binding.  I'm happy that she wanted it.

Nice Easter basket stuffers don't you think?  So no finishes, but my fingers are sore from all the binding, sleeves, and label stitching on four projects.  On to Sunny Side Up that has a "K" name now.  How about Kanary?  Visit tomorrow for a glimpse of where I am on this project that needs to be in Texas by April 24th!

Just the very beginnings of Sunny Side Up.  It is a pattern by Westwood Studios.  This project will be for Emma the first born of Cara and Brian.  Cara is the youngest of two daughters of my long time friend Charmagne.  I am pressed to get this special gift done in time for delivery in Texas by April 24th.  There is a virtual baby shower that day =^.^=

These are all ready to trim down to size.  All these HSTs are to be trimmed down before the bear paw piecing can go further.  I will be using my Bloc Loc tool for accomplishing this task.  Anyone notice the tool that is green in the photo?  This is a gift from Kerry that uses your used 45' blades.  It is called a BladeSaver Thread Cutter by Purple Hobbies LLC.  I've had it for a little while and this is its first use.  Kerry loves hers and I'm starting to feel the same about it.  Hope to have lots of progress this week to get this project finished and in the hands of Kerry, back to me, and off to Texas.

These are Bunch O Carrots made as table runner decoration to match the Springtime Bunnies table runner that Mom is to receive soon.  I received the table runner today from Kerry.  Darn cute how it quilted out and funny how the quilting design used is called Spring Time Fun.  Karota is the name of the table runner project that it has been given.  It was coined after a wild carrot that is called Daucus-carota.  I will have photos of the two projects in front of you after binding and label are complete.  Another project on my list to accomplish this week and get in the mail off to Maryland.

The third project to finish this week is Koney.  That adorable bunny quilt made for Greyson.  If you search on coney you will learn that it once was associated to rabbit fur.  This project has my kitties interested in the bunny tail.  I used a textured fabric that is fluffy.  Greyson really likes the touchy things.  Photo for you once the binding, label, and sleeve are in place.  Koney will go to Virginia real soon.

Okay my friends it is time for you to help me name Sunny Side Up!  My yellow fabrics are a bit more mellow than a Sunny Side Up fried egg!  Take care and have a great week =^.^=
