This week is the thrid Calendar Quilt that I am working on. October brings a fun pumpkin face! Background just needs to be sewn together and then applique with be attached by machine.
Sandi, over at Kwiltnkats sent me a few more oranges to add variety to my background. Also up later this week will be Midnight Dreams a pattern from 2008. It is all cut out and ready for my sewing machine.
What will you be working on this 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.
Two small finsih this week, Pumpking Trio and the September Calendar Quilt.

August and October are in the works and hope to be completed with both this week.
Added to the stash this week, was this Libery Box from Fat Quarter Shop. This is the second box that I have purchased from them. The first was a Valentines box back in February. I have been happy with both boxes and both small projects that come with it.

Only a small finish this week, not a quilt, but a pair of pajama pants. This was purchased many years ago at the San Diego Quilt Show and was a kit to make pajama pants from this super cut bra print fabric.

Updated stash numbers:
Not to much will be happening in my quilting studio this week. I am in San Diego to visit with family and friends and will not return to AZ until late on Saturday.
I left with two more backgrounds pulled together for the Calendar Quilts. These are for August and September quilts.
I am also in the process of finishing this wool decoration for my yazzi bag. It is from a kit that was a wall hanging and I used part of it for my bag. Just need to sew down the edges.
I think it turned out super cute. I am also still prepping applique for the Michigan quilt. I am about 3/4 of the way done and will start glue basting down to borders when I get home.
Hope you are working on something fun this week. Catch up with me on Sunday and see what I found at Rosie's Calico Cupboard in San Diego. Happy Sewing!

Updated Stats for this week.
This week I will be working on my Calendar Quilts, my UFO for July. I am starting with August, Sept and October. The backkgrounds are all 4.5" squares and I am going through my stash to pull fabrics. I think pulling the fabrics will take the longest,

I will also be awaiting the 8th month for Vintage Christmas. This should include all that is needed for the sashing. Last month will be the border.
This arrived last week when I returned from Boulder. My new Accuquilt Go electric cutter. I have been practicing with the die that it came with and just purchased a couple of dies that I think I will use the most for the quilts I want to make.
Excited to be able to speed up cutting and save my wrists for binding!
Happy Sewing!
