Happy Thanksgiving

 

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!

Bring on the Mystery! Bonnie Hunter's new mystery quilt starts today. You can read all about it and join in here. My first few units below completed. I will be working on this, inbetween other projects that need to be finished, through the month of December and probably into January.

BH Mystery Clue 1.

This weekend I will also be working on prepping block #10 for Vintage Valentine. Yes, I am still keeping up with this BOM. There are 3 more months to go and then putting it all together. This will be on my UFO list to finish in 2024.

Have a great weekend and hope you are finding some great deals shoppin on Black Friday!

Sunday Stash Report

November has been a busy month, with not much sewing getting done. I will be working on finishing up the sampler quilt above. This was given to me with blocks completed, blocks needing to be completed and missing blocks. All I have left to fill in is the top right portion above. I will be using up scraps to try to put together a few blocks to complete this sampler. It will eventually be donated to a local charity.

No changes in the stash. Only a few more weeks to get all those UFO's done!

Design Wall Monday

 

This week I will be working on sewing down all the applique for Vintage Valentine block #9. I am actually caught up on this BOM, with block #10 arriving after Nov 15. This BOM runs until February 2024 so I still have a few more months to go.

Also on the list this week is binding for two quilts. One is Chilhowie, Bonnie Hunter's Mystery from last year. Bonnie has just released the fabric colors for this years Mystery, you can find it here if you want to join in. This years Mystery is called Indigo Way and the first clue releases on November 24.

Have a great week!

Design Wall Monday

This is the week I hope to get all the rows sewn together for Aboretum and this top completed. It has been on my design wall way to long!

Bonnie Hunter, Chilhowie in christmas colors was also quilted and will be ready for binding this week.

As I get ready to leave later this week for my niece's wedding, I hope to also get to this cute little halloween quilt cut out and started. Hope to work on it this week at my sewing group. Should be a pretty easy one to get together.

Have a great week and happy sewing!

Sunday Stash Report

It has been a busy couple of weeks here in Arizona. Joe and I just returned from a week long road trip to Cottonwood, AZ and then to Flagstaff. We took a hike through the Aspens in Flagstaff and visited the Lowell Observatory. The colors were beautiful on our hike, we saw the eclipse at Sunset Crater, and enjoyed our time at the Observatory seeing the stars and learning a little history. It was a fun trip to celebrate Joe's birthday!

Needless to say, not much sewing was done, with only a small finish. My easy fall tablerunner below. This will sit on our entry way table for a little fall color.

With a wedding coming up this next week, and family coming the begining of November, my sewing time is going to be limited. But I hope to get in a little time here and there as I still have two more UFO's to complete this year and a new Bonnie Hunter Mystery starting right after Thanksgiving.

Not much progress in using the stash!

 Used this week: 2 yards.

Used YTD: 146 yards.

Purchased this week: 1.5 yards.

Purchased YTD: 47 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 99 yards.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Design Wall Monday

 

The picture is a bit dark, but this is Arboretum taking up my entire design wall. I have about 25 more blocks to go and the sewing all the rows together. The blocks go pretty fast, I just need to carve out some time to get it done.

Also distracting me this week is this cute little table runner by GE Designs. A super simple design that uses a 5" charm pack. I am making mine out of an autumn charm pack that I have had for awhile. I needed another smallish tablerunner for a spot in my house.

Blocks are already made and will be putting it together this week and hopefully getting it quilted. Backing and binding are ready!

Have fun working on your projects!
