Sunday Stash Report and UFO Finish

This week I have a finish to report! 
I have finished the Mystery Quilt from Karen Sievert at the Nifty Needle. This was a class at Road to California Quilt show in 2013. It is a very big quilt, finishing at 90x104, but the pieces were pretty big to work with and it did finish up quickly once I got back to it!



I did purchase a bit to add to the stash, but for the most part have stayed out of the Quilt shops this week. That is about to change with the San Diego Quilt Show coming up next week. I will be attending Pre-view night on Wednesday, which is always the best night to go. No crowds and all the vendors are open to shop!

Here are the numbers for this week:

Used this week: 20.0 yards.
Used Year to date: 114.25 yards
Purchased this week: 2.0 yards.
Purchased Year to date: 71.0 yards.
Net Fabric Used in 2014: 43.25 yards.

Design Wall Monday

This week I will be working on my August UFO- only two more weeks to finish!

Expect the Unexpected.

This was a Mystery Quilt from Road to California Quilt Show in 2013. Time to get it done!


Here are the two finished blocks. I have 14 more of each block to go, but have all the pieces cut out. This is a pretty big quilt, 90x104, large enough for a Queen bed. It should go fast, once I get going on it.

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!)

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.

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.

Stash Report.

This weeks finish is Crab Apples, a Bonnie Hunter Pattern from her book Leaders and Enders. I am really happy with the way it turned out! Purchases this week were 2 yards of fabric to complete a future UFO!
