Wednesday Workings, July 31, 2024

Katch completed Monday.  This one measures 71 x 83.  It is from Sunshine November 2023 BOM Win that was coordinated by Pam.  I used all but one set of blocks.  I did make several more sets and unsewed and resewed one block using the set to accomplish it.  Very pleased how this one turned out.

Kupuna Kane completed on Sunday.  It measures 43 x 43.  It is another Sunshine BOM Win from December 2022 that was coordinated by Tanya.  I had originally thought to make the green squares black and white, but after discussing with Kerry a different color was brought up and bright green fit.  The block is called Grandma Mae's Economy Block.  Hence comes the name that has two ties to the project using the more Hawaiian fabrics and the block's name.  Kupuna Kane is defined as an elder of grandparent (grandfather) generation of Hawaiians.

Lastly, finished is this project coordinated by Hallie.  It is the last Sunshine BOM Win to stitch.  It was won from March 2024 Win.  This one has a very cute cat back and will be a donation to charity.  I love the Cats in the Moon quilting design.

This is where I sit and wait for my Etsy shipments.  My Mom says right now Kanopy is looking like a stadium with the dark middle square the stage LOL...I agree =^.^=  It will all look right when the darker strips (seating LOL) is added.

I am preparing for sewing on Friday at Rosie's.  Sparklers will be the project that day.

With Sparkler scraps this very cute Sparkle Star will be made as well.  Might not be on Friday, but scraps are being gathered for it now.

Until next time =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, July 29, 2024

Yes an empty Design Wall as the day started.  I was cutting the units most of the day for Flower Wall an Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts free pattern by Andover Fabrics.  I started out with a bunch of fabrics using primarily the scraps of Kache.  I added here and there and removed the fabrics where there wasn't enough to achieve the desired size; added in more and continued until there was nothing else that worked from my stash.  Then I went to Etsy!

The two bottom neutrals in the second photo were a must have.  They both come from the Secret Stash fabric line "warms".  I had to remove four of the warms and not anything in my stash large enough to fit the size.  So I looked for either the Sweet 16 line or the Secret Stash "warms" line to fill in after the small flower fabric (just before the fabrics start getting dark).  When I cut everything I had to cut; I started in on the sewing.  This is the construction of the project.

I have gotten the first few rounds done as I close this post and do a bit of binding before the night is out.  Five Etsy orders placed that hopefully will arrive next week sometime.  There is plenty to do if I get to the point where a round needs fabric I don't have yet.  May well be time to get a Cuddle Quilt sewn up.  I know I have one kit waiting for my needle.

Have a great week as we move into August =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, July 28, 2024

Kache is done and ready for sending to Kerry.  I am thinking a thread that matches the background of the outer border will do nicely.  Before I ship this 2022 UFO off though I want to finish a couple of other projects.  There is no hurry, except to have it done...done!  There was loads of fabric left over so I have picked up from my library of patterns another one of Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basked Quilts designs.  I'll leave you in suspense until tomorrow's Design Wall Monday post =^.^=

Kottages is a very long way from complete, but a start towards 100 Houses by Rina Curran is underway.  100 houses to be sewn, sew one up and 99 houses yet to sew!  As you can see the project is paper foundation piecing.  I need to go back and count, but a quick calculation would be 13 units for this 2 1/2 inch house block.  This project is also a 2022 UFO.
