Sunday Stash Report

 This week's stash report features a couple of finishes and some additions. First up, the fourth charity quilt is done and has been added to the que.

Harry Potter charity quilt.

I was also able to get my next Calendar quilt top finished and ready to machine applique. Four more to go and I hope to complete one each month and finish by the end of the year.

Calendar Quilt- November

A trip to 35th Avenue fabric store, yielded the four backings below for the charity quilts. I did not have anything big enough that I wanted to use for backings and I did not want to piece anything.

Backings

Used this week: 5.5 yards

Used YTD: 175.0 yards.

 This week I will be working on my next UFO, called Clover Fields. This was a kit that I purchased last year and should be a fun one to complete. I really loved the colors in this quilt and they are all batiks.

I am also hoping to complete the last of the charity quilts that were started last week. Will also get started on the quilting and hope to use fabric from my stash for the backings.

Hope you are working on a fun project for the week! Enjoy

 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!

The first thing I will be working on this week is glue basting down all the applique on Michigan. Below is one section complete. This will be an ongoing project for quite awhile, all the hand applique still needs to be done.

Next up will be work on my August UFO, Midnight Dreams. Pieces are cut and will go with me to my sewing group tomorrow night. Hope to get blocks completed and quilt finished up this week.

On the longarm this week is another quilt from the past, Seven Sisters. The top was finished in 2013 from a class taken at Road to California, taught by Marfi Michell. I am slowly getting caught up on all my own quilts this year. Next up will be a holiday quilt for Sandi.

Hope you have a great week and Happy Sewing!
