Sunday Stash Report

This week I have only adds to report. In getting ready for Bonnie Hunter's Annual Mystery Quilt, called Allietare. I found that I needed the grey constant, so a trip to Rosie's was in order,  I found the two grey's below and a couple of other fabrics to add for the Mystery Quilt. Not sure which grey I will use yet. All of the other colors in the Quilt, blacks, neutrals, reds, and golds,
I will be pulling from my Stash.




If you have not had a chance to try one of Bonnie's MyPatchwork Timesstery Quilts, I highly recommend it. I have not been disappointed yet! 


So here are how the numbers are coming in for the year. Will need a couple of big finishes to get into the black! Looking forward to 2016 to use up all the yardage purchased this year!

Used this week: 0 yards.

Purchased this week: 6 yards.
Purchased YTD: 143.5 yards.

Design Wall Monday

November is here! Only 53 more days until Christmas!

This week finds me finishing up the second of the quilts for my granddaughter. Hope to have complete by the end of the week. Will also try to get back to the Santa's and see how much progress I can make. Waiting in the wings are 3 UFO's to finish up for this year: Batik Feathers, Winston Ways and Midnight Flight, might be more than I can accomplish in two months, but I will give it try. If not they will be on the list for next year!

Winston Ways

Midnight Flight

Batik Feathers
Also on the horizon is Bonnie Hunters Mystery Quilt for 2015. Click here to read all about it. The colors sound great and the red is right up my alley. If you have not participated, I would highly recommend you give it a try. I have enjoyed all of the ones that I have participated in.

Have a great week and keep on sewing!!!

This week, and for the month, I have been working on my Lady of Lake Erie project. This is my UFO from August, have not even started September, except for the pieces that Sandi cut for me!


Here is Bonnie Hunter's Version in Blues.

I have about another 20 blocks to complete and then will be putting borders together. I am making it queen size for my mom, so there are 100 of these blocks. They are going together pretty fast, so hope to complete them today, and get the rest of quilt finished by end of the week.

Hope your September was more productive than mine! Check out more inspiring projects at Patchwork Times.

Sunday Stash Report

After the San Diego Quilt Show this week, the stash is going in the wrong direction.  The Show was great, with over 300 quilts on display and many vendors to shop. Below are three of my quilts that were in the show.

Crab Apples

Mexican Stars


Pfeffernuese

I also took a class during the show, Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses with Tina Rainer. This was a hand piecing class, no sewing machine! We learned how to prep the hex pieces and how to fussy cut to get the cross design. I did not think I would like all the hand sewing, but in the end I really enjoyed it. This will be a project I will take along in the car, when DH and I go on our road trips



Below are my adds from the Quilt Show. Fabrics for the Union Blues Quilt and for a quilt called Postage Due that I could not pass up.







So this is where I am for the year- not in the black anymore!

Used this week: 0 yards.
Used YTD: 86.0 Yards
Purchased this week: 10.0 yards.
Purchased YTD: 94.0 yards.
Net Fabric Used YTD: -7.0 yards.

Hope your numbers are better than mine! Check out more reports at Patchwork Times.

Sunday Stash Report

This week I have a couple of small finishes to report. The three Calendar Quilts are completed, April, May and June.
April
May
June

Next are the adds. 
Sandi and I took my DD to pick out fabrics for a quilt I will be making for her and her new husband. We started with these fabrics from Memory Lane.



We then headed to Rosies, where she fell in love with the fabrics below. They will be used in a pattern called Between the Lines by Denyse Schmidt Quilts. We will be making it more controlled than scrappy, as the picture shows. The rejected fabric has found a place in my stash for a future project.


Between the Lines

The next group of fabrics, were purchased for a future Buggy Barn class, called Believe. I love these Santa's!



Almost done with our Shopping at Rosies! I  found a few more neutrals and a red for a couple of different projects in the works.


All in all, I added about 26 yards to the stash this week. I am looking forward to a few more finishes to get the stash back in check!

Used this week: 6.0 yards.
Used YTD: 86.0 Yards
Purchased this week: 26.0 yards.
Purchased YTD: 73.0 yards.

Design Wall Monday

Here we are well into August and I am just getting started on my August UFO. This month it was Lucky #7- Lady of Lake Erie. This is from the June/July 2011 issue of Quiltmaker Magazine and is another pattern by Bonnie Hunter. I am making mine in reds/neutrals, and it will be for my Mom.

Bonnie Hunter's Lady of Lake Erie


Below are all the reds cut out and ready to go. There are 50 different fabrics, all from my stash. I have about half of the neutrals cut out. So tonight I am off to cut a bit more, before I get sewing.



If you have time, head over to Kwiltnkats to see our annual San Diego Humane Society Quilt. I think this is the 10th year we have made a quilt for the Fur Ball auction. This one is super cute with dogs and doghouses!

Design Wall Monday

With my July UFO complete, I am going a little backwards and finishing up my UFO from June. These are 3 of the Calendar Quilts from Kim Schaefer. I have most of the applique cut and sewn down, ran out of steam a seam. Still need the umbrella for April, and one more Ant for June. 
The plan is to complete by the end of July, along with the Woodland Wildlife quilt
 that is still on the design wall!

April
May
June

These were the three that were my UFO for June. I still have 8 more of these mini quilts to complete and they will probably show up on my UFO list for next year!
