Sunday Stash Report, June 30, 2024

 

I am working to fill up my Design Wall.  Slowly but surely I'll get there.  Made the first of many hour glass units that will go between the half stars and the corners.  Wow this is some project designed by Bonnie Hunter.

Nothing changes my stash stats this week.  Enjoy your short week before the 4th!

Design Wall Monday, June 24, 2024

 

A cute little project made from a Gina gift.  Gina and her mom hunted out the stick and it was a must use part of the project.  I like how it turned out and have a special place for it to hang.  Gina passed out this treat at the recent Sunshine Quilt Retreat.

As I mentioned yesterday I dusted off this project and took it on Saturday for a sewing party.  After getting reoriented on where I had left it; three blocks were added to the "done".  I am working on the secondary block that provides lots of interest to this otherwise simple design by Bonnie Hunter.  These blocks finish at just 6 inches.  The secondary block has 40 pieces!  I have another three ready to put together and another four ready to start the paper piecing.

This project should keep me busy for several days.  Today marks the last full week of work.  Next week being a holiday week and then retirement day on July 8th.

Another cross stitch block completed.  This dump truck kept me busy during binge watching Yellowstone.

This one is just starting.  You can just about make out that it is a helicopter.

Fabric has arrived to complete the yardage requirements for Sparkle Star and Sparklers.  I only need a solid off white that will be for the background.  I won't be starting this project for a little while, but I will have everything needed to complete it.

I had a great time on Saturday celebrating Jennifer's Birthday with other quilters at Rosie's.  I brought to work on Star of Hope.  I had started on this project likely over a year ago and quite frankly it took me several minutes to figure out what all my fabric groupings were about.  You will see more on this tomorrow.  I did need to pick up some dark blues and this adds to my stash numbers.  It looks like a lot, but it is only four yards.  Most of it will be used in Star of Hope.
