Stash Report

Wonky Wishes

Yes, finally it is done! This is from Bonnie Hunter's pattern Wonky Wishes and uses up a lot of scraps. I pulled from my 2.5" squares and leftover strips for this one. Pretty simple, except the stripped pieced sashing takes a bit of time. I did make mine a bit smaller, it is more of a throw size than the twin size from the pattern. All fabrics were from my stash and the backing will also be a scrappy backing.

My other finish was this pillow. I had stitched the sashiko piece during out last road trip and decided to make it into a pillow.

These are two of the 3 tablerunners I am working on this week. These will be for our guilds boutique at the upcoming quilt show in March. I am hoping to make a few more, with a spring or southwest theme. Will have to see how far I get. I am also finishing up Wonky Wishes, another Bonnie Hunter pattern, and UFO #2 for the year. Check back on Sunday and see the results.

Lupine and Laughter

Finally a finish! Lupine and Laughter is done and will be in the quilting que. I still need to put together a backing, which will be out of the scrappy purples that are left. Binding will also be scrappy. All fabrics were from my stash, did not have to buy anything.👏👏👏 Even though these are not necessarily colors I would use, it did come out great. Maybe one of my Granddaughters will want this one??

A small finish this weel- Patriot Dreams Banner. Lupine and Laughter is still in the works, but heading towards a finish this week! Pictures below are from my class at Road, When Perfect isnt the Point. I really enjoyed this class and Jemima is a great teacher. Love some of her other patterns too. You can find them here.

The other class was a Tiny Piecing class. The blocks were amazing and I learned alot about how to paper piece these tiny blocks. Giuseppe was also a fun teacher, and very entertaining. His sample quilt is below and is amazing. I ended up using the scraps from my first class for this class.

Mini Courthouse Steps.

No adds this week and just my small finish above. Still in the red, but will be out of it soon.
