stash report July 19 , 2026

I have restarted an older ufo kit from editya sitar. The fabrics are beautiful. The pattern is complex. I should have started 10 years ago. haha I worked on strip sets at Saturday open sew.

stash report July 19 , 2026

fabric added this week: 0 yards

fabric added year to date for 2026: 16 1/2 yards

fabric used this week: 10 yards baby quilt is finished

46 x 54 = 10 yards

fabric used year to date for 2026: 79 yards

I have used 77 1/2 yards more than I have added.

I sewed 4 days last week.

I am working on my last block for my applique project - across the wide missourri- I have the cabin base in place with 2 rows of chinking. It's getting warmer in the little cabin.

I have made a little progress on my stars and stripes rug. I am using a smaller frame to carry to guild each week. I have to move it more often.

All the stars are done. I tried the blue wool that came with kit. I decidided it is too thin and hard to work. I will search through my stash for a better grade wool.

star baby quilt finish

yellow baby string quilt. is finished. When I decided to change my pattern for Blue skies, I had leftover yellow string blocks. This is the quilt that I made from those blocks. I was in Florida at the time that I was piecing, and didn't have border fabric with me. I found a men's shirt at a thrift store that I could cut for the border. I waited until I was home to quilt it. yellow is my favorite color which is why I was drawn to the pattern blue skies in the beginning.

46 x 54

I found the backing fabric in my home stash and used it for the binding as well.

stash report July 12 , 2026

I decided to take a bag of scraps with me to sew group. I was not in the mood to take my sewing machine. This bag was given to me by another quilter. Everything was a delightful mystery.

I cut my usual sizes, set aside smaller pieces to make 1 1/2 inch hsts, and kept some larger pieces together that ere coordinates. In the end, it weighed nearly 2 pounds. I hade made 6 yards of useable fabric.

5 quilt June and July 2026

last report May 8, 2026

I try to work on these 5 quilts until they are done. Their turn in the UFO closet is over, and, they need to be finished one way or another.

It's good to add a few completions to my 5 quilt report this time. I'm finding it harder to keep too many quilts going at the same time. This year's ufo list has fewer near finishes, and more projects barely started.

Hollow nine - rainbow scrap challenge from 2023 that needs the border appliqued. I have cut the flowers and the stem is ready. I just need to attach. This is still on the list for 2026, but, I haven't worked on it lately.

Editya Sitar baskets - I opened the box twice, and then closed it. I have been busy with the other projects, and I have only little bits of time and I want to concentrate on it.

scrap cutting

I have added another goal to the 5 quilts project. I want to take one day a month and cut scraps. I will have plenty to choose from since I really didn't cut any for 2024, and the bags of uncut scraps are piling up, all over the fabric room. Last year, the total was 36 1/2 yards of useable fabric.

And I plan on continuing this in 2026, even though, I see no discernable difference in the scrap piles.

quilts to be quilted:

yellow string baby quilt on the frame

dresden plate
