Design Wall

This week on the design wall will be sewing clue 5 for Chilhowie. Above are a few of the finished blocks. I like how my colors are comeing out so far.  I will also be working on Thoroughly Modern Christmas this week, below is where I am so far.

I am using a bunch of fat quarters bought a couple of years ago at the San Diego Quilt show. I will have to add in more neutral and red which I already have in my stash, but will need to purchase a little more of the light and dark green. I am hoping to find when we head to Winslow for New Years, at a quilt shop in Holbok, called the Painted Desert.

I am also back to longarming this week with finishing up some charity quilts for Sandi and then a custom project for me. Finally going to start quilting Prairie Star that was finished in 2021.

We have some rainy weather coming this week on Wednesday and Thursday, perfect sewing days!

Enjoy your last week of 2022, Happy New Year!

 

Stash Report

 

Hope you all are enjoying a wonderful day with family and friends. After my busy trip to San Diego, DH and I are spending a quiet Christmas here in AZ.

This will be my last Stash Report of 2022. Nothing was added this week and nothing finished, but some earlier finishes to share, now that the gifts have been opened. Placemats were finished for my brothers and sisters,

And a wall hanging was completed for mom.

I also made oven mitts for my daughters and for one of my neighbors, but forgot to take pictures. So here are my year end numbers. I will be updating my finished UFO's later this week and posting my new ones for 2023.

Used this week: 0 yards.

Used YTD: 203 yards.

Purchased this week: 0 yards.

Purchased YTD:  135.5 yards.

Net Fabric Used YTD: 67.5 yards.

I hope to use more in 2023, and purchase a lot less!

Design Wall

 

It has been a busy week for me, so no stash report this week. I was off to San Diego on the 15th and returned on the 20th. It was so fun to spend time with family and friends. The beautiful blocks above were gifted to me by my friend Sandi. These will find a home in my quilting studio, maybe on a shelf.

Here I am with 3 of my 5 grandkids and of course Santa. We had a busy couple of days with a dance recital, christmas movies, dinner at Marieta's, pictures with Santa, and of course opening some of our Christmas gifts early.

Clue 3

Clue 4

The only downside is that I came home with a cold, which has me stuck at home. But I was able to complete clue 3 and 4 for Chilhowie. Today was the release of Clue 5, you can check it out here.

I am off to get started on clue 5, along with cutting out pieces for the Thoroughly Modern Christmas Quilt- using almost all stash for this one too.

Enjoy your time before Christmas!

Design Wall Monday

 

Chilhowie Clue 3

Clue 3 is cut and ready to sew. These were all cut using my Accquilt, which made short work of all these units. Check out clue three here. The sewing will have to wait for my return from my trip to San Diego this week. Looking forward to seeing family and friends. I will be playing catch up next week after I return.

Tomorrow is our Guild Christmas party/potluck. It is always a fun time with great food, fun games and of course a white elephant gift exchange.  Hope you have some fun holiday parties planned. Happy Monday!

Sunday Stash Report

Chilhowie Clue 2

Clue 2 is finally done! This took a bit as I had to re-do a few of the units that were not cut correctly- in other words, operator error! Now I am on to cutting out clue 3. There is still time if you want to join in or just download the clues to make at a later date. You can get it all here.

Design Wall Monday

 

Bonnie Hunter Chilhowie Mystery is on the design wall for this week. Clue #2! Strips and Squares cut and will be sewing at my Tuesday group. Hope to get it finsihed and then will be waiting, waiting, waiting for the next clue on Friday.

Thinking about getting back to Autumn Love, in between Chilhowie. Will at least prep the next applique block which is the Milk Can. I also have another christmas quilt I might work on. Decisions, decisions.😁

Have a great week!
