Sunday Stash Report

 Last Tuesday was our Sew-in for Sunrise Stitchers, where we worked on charity projects. I had pre-cut a couple of kits and  I was able to get one finished that day.  All were super easy and fun patterns. The last one was cut with the Crazy Block die for my Accquilt. 

5" squares

The two below were finsihed during the week.

5" Squares on point

I will be quilting the charity quilts and hope to have them all finished by our September meeting.  Hocus Pocus, below, was finished in July, but somewhere along the way I forgot to post it.

 Tomorrow I will be going to our Sew-in with Sunrise Stitchers. It is from 9am to 9pm and we will be working on a few charity projects. I have kitted up a couple of baby quilt using some charm squares, and white fabrics from my stash.  I picked a couple of easy patterns and these will be my projects for the Sew-in and for the week.

This will be on point.

Sashing and Cornerstones.

I also used my new Accquilt to cut out these crazy quilt blocks using some leftover 10" squares from my stash. These blocks will finish at 6 inches.They are all labeled and ready to sew together. It took me 5 minutes to cut out 12 blocks. I am loving my Accquilt Go-Big Cutter!

Pieces cut and labeled for Crazy quilt blocks.

I have a busy week ahead of me! Enjoy your week!

It has been a rainy weekend here in Scottsdale, with thunder, lightning, wind and almost 3" of much needed rain.  A lot of flooding in the area, but nothing near where I live. I am looking forward to sunny days starting tomorrow.
