Sunday Stash Report, August 23, 2026

 

Two more Teddy Bears are finished.  There are five more to stitch that I will be tackling on the plane.  These are easy to work on and will consume much of the 10 hours flight time to and from my parents.

Stash enhancements from Rosie's for the commissioned Flutter project.  The pink check will be for the back and the two on the right are for the main wings of the last two butterflies.

The best purchase was the replacement Creative Grids ruler.  I sure did miss this ruler size from the most unfortunate Accuquilt cutter debacle.

Two projects arrived from Kerry YEAH!  Kordia Krunch is one of them.  The fabric at the top right is the backing and sleeve.  I'll be looking for enough solid red to bind it with.  I'm hopeful that there will be something from my stash.

The third and last (for now) table runner is ready to bind and label.  It will be heading to mom in a package with lots of other goodies early this week.

So for now I have just three yards to add that will soon be counted in the used stats.  Have a wonderful Sunday.

Used this week: 0 yards
Used YTD: 199.5 yards 
Purchased this week: 3 yards
Purchased YTD: 56 yards
Net used in 2026: 143.5 yards

Wednesday Workings, August 19, 2026

I have Flutter as far as it can go until fabric arrives in the mail.  ETSY is bringing me a blue print and Kerry is sending me two red prints.  Sure hope the fabrics work when they get here.  I am likely going to use a pink for the binding.  There should be enough of the background for the back.  I would like to have Flutter off to Kerry for quilting before I leave on my flight next week.

The B Block is next to build on Katydid.  First come 25 sets of 4 HSTs.  

These oranges will make the second part of B Block.  I will be cutting these tonight.  The black and white fabrics are already downstairs on the table waiting for the oranges.  I have two sewing days this week on Friday and Saturday.  My goal is to have all the units cut and start in on the sewing so that the B Blocks will come together.

Hope your Wednesday is going well.

Design Wall Monday, August 17, 2026

I kept working on Flutter Sunday afternoon even though it was pretty chaotic around here.  There was a fire started around 1:30pm that was moving slowly towards the East until it wasn't.  We were inside the Evacuation Order - Set for most of the day.  San Diego Fire Department finally gave the all clear around 8:30pm except for one zone not close to us.  The Sorrento Fire spread to 131 acres.  There were five fixed planes and three helicopters working the blaze.  At 8:30pm Sunday it was 25% contained.  Can't wait for the smokey smell to dissipate =^.^=

So back to Flutter.  These are the pieces needed for the project.  There will be eight butterflies.  I still need a three more flower prints for the upper wings.  I have plenty of lower wings and body fabrics for whatever I can find.  I'd really like a blue, purple and maybe a red or pink floral.  I've made all the nine patches, but may change my mind on the focus fabric.  Right now it is a stripe that picks up the butterfly colors.  I am thinking it doesn't make enough of an impact.  Easy enough to change to something different at this point.

So what's on your Design Wall?
