Design Wall Monday

 Suprise will be on my design wall this week and should be finished soon.

I finshed sewing the center together and will be finishing up the borders. Backing and quilting will be next. This is my February UFO, along with my UFO for Sunrise Stitchers that will be due at our March Meeting.

Adding Borders

After this is completed I will be working on the I spy quilts. I will be making 4 of them, one for each of the grandkids.

On the Longarm this week is the Mystery Jelly Snowflake quilt that was done last year with a group of sewing friends. Still deciding on a pattern, but thinking of something leafy. Next up will be Sandi's Grassy Creek, aka Krooked Kreek.

Have a great week and Happy Sewing!

Sunday Stash Reprt.

 A small finish this week along with a small addition to the Stash. More adds are coming as backing's have been orderd to finish off a couple of projects.

This finish was the last of the three Crazy Hearts Table runners that were my UFO for January. The other two were gifted to my sisters and are on the way to their new homes. This one I will be keeping for our rather large dining room table.

Design Wall Monday

 It is a windy and wet day here in Scottsdale- but I can't complain, because we really need the rain.

With the finish of Grassy Creek, I am on to my next UFO, Suprise. This was a kit that was purchased in 2006 on a trip to Houston Quilt Market. Yes, it has been hanging around for a long time.

Suprise

I will be starting the cutting of Suprise, along with cutting and sewing the next six blocks for Vintage Christmas. Also cutting out one more of the crazy heart table runners. 

Heart #3 cut out and ready to sew.

On the longarm this week is Chic Kisses, by Sew Kind of Wonderful. Started in a class at Road to CA, the top was finished in 2017 and is now finally getting quilted. All this should keep me busy, with rain the next two days and later this week.

Chic Kisses

Enjoy your week!

Sunday Stash Report

 A very rainy day here in the desert, a very welcome site. Also a great day to spend time in the sewing room. Finished this week is Grassy Creek and another UFO for 2021. Two down and 10 more to go!

Grassy Creek-top done

My Grassy Creek ended up smaller than Bonnie's version. Still pretty big at 80x80. The side borders had to be modified a bit to fit, but I am very pleased with the result. Into the quilting que it goes, as I wait to receive a backing that is on order.

Arriving this week was the Cupid box from Fat Quarters. Very fun valentines box with Fat eighth bundle, pattern, heart clips, measuring tape and charm. 

The fabrics were super cute and make a fun easy quilt for Valentines.

So, a small add to the stash and a nice deduction with the finish of Grassy Creek. 

Used this week: 15 yards

Used YTD: 21.5 yards.

Purchased this week: 1 yards

Purchased YTD:  3 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 18.5 yards.

Have a great week!

Design Wall Monday

 This week will be spend finishing up Grassy Creek. Have a few more units to make for the side borders and then string units for the final border. Like how it is looking so far.

Grassy Creek

I also hope to get to the next 6 blocks for Vintage Christmas that arrived late last week. So far these have been fun and pretty easy even with all the pieces.

We are expecting a rainy week here in the desert, but we really need the rain. Hope you are working on something fun!
