Sunday Stash Report

 March is flying by, and Spring is here!

This week I finished up #3 I spy Quilt. This one for my youngest granddaughter with minnie mouse fabric. One more to go and then quilting and binding.

Also finished this week, but not a reduction yet, is the center Feathered Star block for Mistletoe. Now that this is done, I will add the applique and take it on my next trip to San Diego to work on. 

I had to purchase a bit more fabric for Tree Farm, and that arrived this week. So a little addition to the stash and some usage to report this week.

Updated Stash Report below. Moving in the right direction.

Used this week: 8.5 yards

Used YTD: 63.5 yards.

Purchased this week: 4 yards

Purchased YTD:  36.5 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 27.0 yards.

Have a great week!

Design Wall

March is half way done, and spring is on the way here in the desert, even if the last couple of days have been windy and cold! 

This week on the Design wall is #3 I Spy Quilt. Blocks are complete and just need to sew the rows and put on borders. This should be finished this week. One more to go!

I will also be finishing up Tree Farm, just waiting for some fabric from Laundry Basket quilts to complete. Long story, but did not have enough of the light background to complete.

On the longarm this week is a quilt a finished last year called checkerboard. I am quilting with pink thread and a pattern called Happiness from Anne Bright. This is one of my favorite pattern designers and I have used many of her patterns.

Also up this week will be a service for my Longarm by Keith from Mulqueens. I usually try to have it serviced every 2 years or so, just to keep everything running smoothly.

Have a great rest of your week and hope you are working on a fun project.

There is a video here, by Edita Sitar on how to make this quilt. I found it very informative as the pattern only gives the basic directions.

Hope you have something fun you are working on this week!

Sunday Stash Report

 Nothing finished and nothing added to the stash this week. Works are in progress for a finish in the near future. I did make 2 blocks for our guild BOM, winner will be drawn on Tuesday. I decided to make two of them, as the tecnique to make the flying geese was pretty easy and accurate. You can find a video here.

I recieved an early Birthday gift from my friend Sandi over at Kwiltnkats. A Pincushion of the month subscription from Midway wool! The first two arrived with the walnut shells needed to fill all 12 pincushions.

The first two are Snowy Night and An Apple a day. Both are super cute and will be fun projects to work on. Thank you Sandi, for such a thoughtful gift.

Tree Farm will be on my design wall for the next couple of weeks and then back to working on the last two I Spy quilts. No changes to the stash below.

Design Wall Monday

 March is here! Spring is already happening here in the Desert, with some flowers starting to bloom. We have a warm week ahead of us with temps in the mid to high 70's.

This week I will be starting on #11 UFO- Tree Farm by Laundry Basket Quilts. A lot of half square triangles in this one, and I will be using triangle papers for all 324 of them.

I also have the BOM, Dutchman'a Puzzle, to complete for Sunrise Stitchers before next Tuesday. That is our Zoom meeting day. I sure hope we get to meet in person again soon. 

Dutchman's Puzz;a

If that is not enough, I will be working on #3 of the I Spy Quilts. I always seem to have more than one project at a time on the Design Wall. Enjoy your Monday!

 Happy last day of February. March and spring are not too far away!

A finish this week and a few additions to the stast. The second I spy quilt is done, this one is for my grandson. Two more to go! Will get started on the quilting as soon as I pick up the minky for the backing. Hope to do that this week.

I Spy #2

Additions are fabrics for the other I spy quilts that were purchased from Fabric.com. One has already been used in the quilt above.
