Wednesday Workings, August 13, 2025

 


Almost have 50 done...a halfway point!  I'm making these mostly from my scrap stash.  It doesn't take much fabric, but at least I am moving the dust around in the containers.  Easy to find roof fabric; not so easy to find house fabric.  The yellow windows that I am using in all the houses prevents light fabrics and of course yellow or anything with too much yellow.  Scouring for tiny prints =^.^=


I am finding some fabrics to work with what is in my scrap bins.  Here is the next stack to be used.  I am preparing for two sewing days away from home.  Tomorrow I will be at the Lakeside Library with Sunshine Guild for a Sew In.  Friday I will be at Rosie's.  So much fun to sew with others that enjoy as much as you.

Three yards arrived from one of the recent Stash & Save Connecting Threads offers.  The color was called midnight flowers, but the picture was exactly what I received.  I was surprised by the packaging.  It will require a good pressing before being used.



Besides adding the label to several just finished projects, I finished the leaves of the Sunflower block.  Next up for both this block and the Maple Leaf block is lignin up the next pieces.  This is a bit of a challenge as there is a lot of guess work since no measurements are included in the pattern.  A mistake could cause a serious use of ones seam ripper!

Happy Wednesday

Here is the first 30 2" finished houses.  


I have another 10 ready to stitch.  I takes a little while to do these units, but each one is one more to the 100 that are this project.  

That picket fence looks like a challenge too =^.^=



Sunday Stash Report, August 10, 2025


Kouverture is complete except for the label.  This comes from the 2025 Cupid Box with Fat Quarter Shop.  I have the 2025 Liberty Box still to stitch, but it is cut and waiting its turn.  The pre-ordering has started for the 2025 Spooky Box.  I am trying to resist...


I am still stitching along with Krowkissed (renamed from Kwiescent) that is Autumn Love.  I will be working next on the green leaves of the Sunflower block.  The Oak Leaf block will get the stems and veins of the maple leaves after that.


I have been taking a short break between applique (Krowkissed) and binding (Kiki) to work on those tiny houses of Kottages.  Come back tomorrow to see progress on how far I have come towards the end goal of 100 houses.



No yardage used this week, but there is an add that came in yesterday.  I signed up with Fat Quarter Shop for Kim Diehl's Home for the Holly Days BOM Quilt.  Although I have only received Month One fabrics, the complete yardage requirements are added this week for the quilt.  I will have to look back to 2022 when I got Krowkissed to see how I added to my stash back then.
