Wising you all Health and Happiness in 2019!

This week finds me with a couple of days off, after a hectic holiday season working in the store. I am working on Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt, Good Fortune, and have some catching up to do. Have some of the red 4-patches done for the first clue, strips cut for the second clue, and green rectangles and neutral squares ready for clue 3.

Clue 4 and Clue 6 require strip pieces units, and I have papers and strips ready to go. Clue 5 are triangle in a square units. I am going to try to at lease get a few of each complete before the next clue is revealed on Friday. Check out all the clues here, you may want to join in.

I will be off to Rosies today, for some stash additions. Need a backing for Punkin, and a few more greens and blues. Will start out my 2019 stash report with additions, instead of subtractions.

Happy Sewing!

Sunday Stash Report

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
December is quickly winding down and with it 2018! This will be my last stash report for the year, but first I want to share what Sandi gave me for Christmas- all of my favorite quilting supplies and a super cute pattern for a Christmas tree runner. Thanks Sandi for such a thoughtful gift! Looking forward to making this one- it will be on my UFO list for 2019.

With my last Stash Report I do have a finish! Yes, the Bonnie Hunter Punkin Quilt is finally finished. This was a challenging one with much un-sewing going on. Borders were a bit hard to get all to fit correctly, but at least it is now done! I do like how it turned out and plan on making a table runner this next year to match.

So here are the year end numbers. Used just over 50 yards- Looking to improve for 2019. Check out post tomorrow for progress on Bonnie Hunter's Mystery.

Used this week: 13 yards.

Used YTD:  94 yards.

Purchased this week: 0 yards

Purchased YTD: 39 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 52 yards.

Have a great week and enjoy the last few days of 2018!

Sunday Stash Report

It has been a busy couple of weeks for me. My day job is at Macy's and needless to say it has been a bit crazy. Not too much sewing getting done, so no change in the Stash Report. Working a little bit at a time on my Pumpkins and started Bonnie Hunter's annual mystery quilt. Pumpkins below. Can you see the couple of  blocks that needs to be changed??  I ended up have to do a bit of unsewing to get the top looking they way I wanted. 

I pulled all of my red squares and strips from my stash, for the first step in the mystery quilt-red 4-patches. I have 40 complete with only 200 more to go. I am already behind by two more steps- next up blue/neutral half square triangles and green chevron units/half square triangles. Will be pulling fabrics today for both.

I usually have a hard time keeping up in December with completing the different units for the Mystery quilt, but come January I can usually get it finished. Below are current stash reduction numbers. Hoping for one more finish by the end of the year! Have a great week!

Used this week: 0 yards.

Used YTD:  81 yards.

Purchased this week: 0 yards

Purchased YTD: 39 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 42yards.

I am super far behind in getting anything quilty done! Making progress on the pumpkins, but still not near a finished! Pumpkins blocks below, with about 30 more to go!

Flying geese units for the border all done!

Once pumpkins are done, I will be building the quilt. Next up will be Bonnie Hunter Mystery. First clue posted on Friday! Hope you will join in!

Nothing in this week and nothing out. Still working on Punkin by Bonnie Hunter. All the little green pieces! Hope to get a bit more completed this week. I have been working on binding this week.

Happy October!

Work has started on the second pumpkin quilt. This one by Bonnie Hunter and featured in the Sept/Oct 2017 issue of  Quiltmaker Magazine.

I am starting off with string piecing 49 pumpkin blocks, so I have cut a bunch of strips that are 1"-2" wide, and will be sewing them to the foundations.

I am going to try to make 10 a day this week and be finished with this first part by the weekend. Wish me luck! Have a great week and Happy Sewing!
