Sunday Stash Report

 Happy first day of Spring!

Nothing finished this week and nothing added to the stash. I have spent this week prepping projects that I will be taking on a quilting retreat with some friends. Cut all the pieces for the flying geese borders for the wedding ring quilt. This will keep me busy.

Pieces for flying geese.

But if that is not enough, I spent one morning cutting all the strips on my Accquilt for the Winter Blues quilt. I probably have enough to make two quilts. This will be in black and whites.

This week I am prepping for the Flowers for My Wedding ring quilt. There is a bit of prep work before the sewing starts with this quilt. First is cutting all the foundations, making the templates and then cutting the fabric for each step. All go into seperate bags for each step and then the sewing starts. 

Paper Pieces

Strip sets were put together using 3 different Bali pops. There are 8 strips in each set, light to dark. Below are my 7 strip sets that are used for the rings.

Paper pieces with their strips, ready to start sewing. I have a lot of sewing ahead of me this week. Hope to make some good progress on all these sections.

Enjoy your Monday!

Finished this week was this charity quilt. Pattern by Villa Rosa Designs, where they have many super easy patterns using charm packs and jelly rolls. I have been looking for some easy patterns to use up scraps and donate to charity. I am going to try to make a charity quilt each month.

The heart blocks were made for an organization that will be making quilts for Ukraine. My guild will be collecting them on Tuesday and sending them off to Germany where they will put together into quilts. This pattern was in EQ8 and I sized it to 8" finished.

 Last Day of February- Bring on March!

This week I will be working on a charity quilt called Dominique from Villa Rosa Designs. This pattern uses 5" squares, background and border, and everything is from my stash. It is a pretty simple quilt, and I have it cut out and ready to sew. I willbe taking it to my sewing group tomorrow and hope to get most of it sewn together.

Dominique

Next up will be getting started on my #3 UFO which is Flowers for my Wedding Ring. This one will take awhile as it is a Judy Neimeyer pattern and is both paper piecing and applique. I have had this kit for probably 6 or 7 years and it has been waiting to get done.

Flowers for My Wedding Ring

The Cupid Box from Fat Quarter arrived today and I am super happy with all the fun stuff that was in it. I also love the way it was packaged!

A fat quarter bundle called Falling in Love, and a super fun pattern.

More fabrics to finish the quilt in the pattern above. A mini simple folded corner ruler in pink. I was super excited about the ruler, as I was looking to buy one. A keychain and some fun chapstick.

Alwasy super fun to get a box like this in the mail. Fat Quarters outs together these boxes seasonally and you can check out there website here. Get on the mailing list to get notice when the boxes are available-they sell out fast.

Happy Sewing!
