Sunday Stash Report

Hi All!

It has been awhile since my last post, but I have two finishes to report. First up is Equinox my UFO for July. This was a fun quilt from Cozy Quilts using a 2.5' Bali Pop. 

Equinox

Second up are the applique block of the month from Temecula Quilt Company. They were designed by Lori Smith. I rerally enjoyed working on these appliques blocks and I will have to say my applique work is getting better every day. Sandi over at Kwiltnkats donated the black fabric for the border. (Thanks Sandi!)

I have managed to stay out of the Quilt shops lately, so nothing to add for the last couple of weeks.Here are the updated numbers:

Used this week: 14.25 yards.
Used Year to date: 108.50 yards.
Purchased this week: 0 yards.
Purchased Year to date: 69.0 yards.
Net Fabric Used in 2014: 39.5 yards.

Design Wall Monday

This week finds me working on a couple of projects. First up is my July UFO, Equinox. I have everything cut and marked and will get sewing this week. This is a Cozy Quilt Shop pattern and is made up of 2.5" strips. It should go together pretty fast.

I also have prepped and glued down all the pieces for this Flower Pot applique. This is a pattern by Susan Prioleau that I purchased awhile back. I was thinking that I might make it the center of a Round Robin quilt. 

I have much to keep my busy this week! What are you working on this week?

Design Wall Monday

On my design wall this week will be UFO #12- Equinox. This is a strip club pattern by Cozy Quilts. The fabric was purchased awhile ago. This should be a fun easy quilt to put together and give me a break from all the Bonnie Hunter patterns I have been working on so far this year.

I will also be working on putting some backings together. Have all the squares cut, just need to get some sewing time in this week! Hope you have a fun project to work on this week! See what everyone else is doing at Patchwork Times.

UFO Finish!

Here is my UFO finish for June- Crab apples!  This is a pattern from Bonnie Hunter's book Adventures with Leaders and Enders. It started out as a swap with a great group of my quilting friends. We traded the nine patch blocks pictured below, so we would have lots of variety. I finished the quilt during our annual quilting retreat last weekend. We had a great time and I think everyone got a lot accomplished.

Nine patches

Crab Apples

We are half way through the year and I am happy to report that I have actually been able to keep up and even get a little ahead. Hope you are making progress on all your UFO's this year!

Design Wall Monday

This week brings our annual quilt retreat with about 12 of my quilting friends. My sister will also be coming down from Sacramento to join us. I am looking forward to seeing her. We will all meet on Thursday afternoon for four days of sewing, eating, and catching up. 

I have a couple of projects I will be working on. One will be my UFO for June, Crab Apple. I spent Sunday cutting out all the pieces. The nine patches are done, and all the pieces are ready for paper piecing the trees. One more fabric to find is a brown for the inner border, will check my stash first!  

Next I will be working on Twister Jack, another UFO for this year. Looking forward to using the Twister ruler for this one.

I will also bring Five and Dime, a project that I mentioned in my previous post. Yes, I always bring more than I could possible finish, but it will be fun to try! What will you be working on this week?
