Design Wall

July is flying by and August will be here this week!

Progress on the Antique Rose Star. I am still cutting more blocks from my scraps and trying to use up what I have. I am finding that I may need a few more browns to complete.

Four more blocks are almost complete. Will be cutting a more for the side units and then see if I have enough, Still not sure how big I want this one to be.

Happy Sewing!

Sunday Stash Report

Still no finishes to report, but a lot of cutting going on! 

These 5" squares were cut out to use with Sew Kind of Wonderful's Quick Curve ruler and will be made up into a couple of Table Runners. Yes, they will be for the holidays.

Next up, pieces were cut out of the scraps from Prairie Gathering to make up the quilt pictured.

This finished 30x30, and I will be using all leftovers. Trying to use up the stash! Progress is also being made on the Antique Rose Star, with 15 blocks complete and 4 more ready to piece. Check back tomorrow to see my progress.

Making more progress on my Antique Rose Star. More blocks finished. I am not sure how many I am going to make- will keep going until I think it is big enough, or until I run out of fabric! 

Next up I will be working on a couple of Sew Kind of Wonderful Patterns. It will b nice to work on a couple of small projects!!

Design Wall Monday

This week on my Design Wall is Antique Rose Star. Below are two completed blocks. They remain in halves until all blocks are done and ready to sew into a top. I am using up all the leftover fabrics from my first Dear Jane Quilt- so pink and brown. Trying to use up the stash! The background has been in my stash for awhile so nice to use it up too.

Below are pieces ready to cut and sew. This pattern uses a template from Marti Michell called Kite and Crown. I am making mine with the 2"version. It looks like there are a lot of set in seams, but with the technique I learned, there are NO set in seams and it sews up in a flash.

I decided to sew up a bunch of units and then make up the blocks. So lots of combinations to choose from. I am starting with 12 blocks and then will see where it goes after that.

Have a great week and a Happy 4th of July!

Happy Birthday America!!

Sunday Stash Report

Wow time is flying- July 1, and half way through the year!

I returned home from Texas last Monday and it has been a busy week at work, so not much sewing done. I did get Asher's quilt finished and it is ready for quilting. That will hopefully happen this week. So I do get to claim a reduction in the stash.

Used this week: 7 yards.
Used YTD:  54 yards.

Purchased this week: 1 yards

Purchased YTD: 39 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 15 yards.

Last week while in Texas, I also started Dear Hannah. Below are the 12 blocks that I completed. They will all be made using Liberty of London fabrics. I signed up for the fat eight program from Westwood Acres Fabrics.

Check back tomorrow to see what else is on my design wall!
