Stash Report

 A small finish this week, with another of the Crazy heart runners completed. This one will be for my sister, who is the queen of black and white! Made this one a bit smaller and really like how it turned out. Quilting will happen this week along with binding and getting into the mail.

Design Wall Monday

 This week I will be working on finishing up Grassy Creek. You can still get the instructions for this quilt until the end of the month. I have decided to go with a 16 block layout, a bit smaller than Bonnie's finished version. This will entail making a few more units of each of the clues, but that should be easy enough. Below are the Ohio Start blockes from clue 7.

Ohio Star blocks

Next step, adding more of the units to make completed block.

Completed Blocks

I will be working on completing the sashing and then more string units for the outer border. Also up this week on the longarm is the quilting of Second Hand Clothes. This quilt top was completed in 2014 and just needed quilting and binding.

Second Hand Clothes

Busy week ahead!

 This week on the Design Wall is the 6th clue of Bonnie Hunter Grassy Creek. Grey strings are done, and just need to put on the corner stones.

Next up will be my first UFO for 2021. My #7 I spy quilt, was pulled for the American Patchwork and Quilting  UFO Challenge, but I will be swithching this one to #8 Crazy Hearts. Want to get this finsihed for Valentines Day. I have the the fiirst part cut out and ready to sew,

On the longarm this week is Prairie Gathering by Pam Buda. I finished this one in  2017 and it will finally get quilted. I am using a pattern by Anne Bright called Lacey Feather.

A busy week ahead for me. How about you?

Sunday Stash Report

Last Stash Report for 2020! 

It has been a busy year for quilting, with 22 quilts completed. That is a record for me.  I longarmed quilted almost 100 quilts, which included 35 of my own. This coming year I hope to get caught up with my backlog, which is about 30 more to quilt.

No finishes this week, other than a few blocks completed. Below are two of the Heart and Hand applique group blocks. Two more to finish by the 31st.

Heart and Hand Blocks

Also completed were 3 of the 6 blocks for Vintage Christmas. I will also be working on cutting out pieces for Clue 5 of Grassy Creek Mystery.

So, nothing added and nothing finished for the last Stash Report for 2020. A fresh start for 2021 will start next Sunday. Have a great rest of 2020 this week.
