I found some scraps on the free table at guild meeting. I could not resist the bunnies.

stash report July 5 , 2026

fabric added this week: 0 yards

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

fabric used this week: 15 yards blue skies is finished

66 x 76 = 15 yards

fabric used year to date for 2026: 69 yards

I have used 67 1/2 yards more than I have added.

I sewed 6 days last week.

I took my last block for my applique project - across the wide missourri- to Friday sew and started tracing and cutting. I have done a cabin before and I am not looking forward to that part, so I will do it first.

While I was working on my huge Christmas in new England rug hooking project. I did not want to carry it back and forth to guild every week. The huge rug weighs a ton. I found this topically relevant rug kit in my stash, and, decided to take it back and forth with me to guild. It weighs less and is easily folded and stored in a smaller bag. The strips came already cut. No thinking, just hooking needed. It wasn't a high priority. But, is is convenient.

aqua scraps week 1

This is the older ufo I chose to add for this month's rainbow scrap aqua color. It has waited a long time. When I opened the box, I realized that there isn't anything started. In other words, it is some fabric and a pattern. It isn't a real priority. what to do...

I think I am going to put this one back in the box. And work on my other projects this month.

Last month's ufo two bits has 2 rows together.

I took candy chains, to Friday sew with all the pieces cut and ready to sew. I thought I had all I needed, but I can't count. I was only able to sew 5 of these and parts of the others.

I made 1 block for the stashbuster quilt. I couldn't wait to see how it was going to look. I still need to make more row units to get a good variety.

blue skies finish

While I was in Florida, I made the top for blue skies. I started this quilt in 2016 when Bonnie Hunter's string book was published. I made all the string blocks, and it became a ufo. Last year, I worked on it for the rainbow scrap challenge, but, when I opened the book and saw that I would need a gazillion small hsts, I decided to take what I had and run with it. I would have loved making the hsts back when I started it, but, not now. I feel like I have too many higher priority quilts I want to finish.

I even went to thrift stores for cotton shirts to add the borders. Now, it is finished and off the list.

66 x 76 = 15 yards

This what I thought was the last block for my applique project - across the wide missourri- While I was trying to tidy the project, I discovered another block still in it's package sigh...... What to do

I have decided to take a break from this rug. I have a patriotic rug, I have been taking to rug hooking with me to guild meeting. It is close to finishing, and I'd like to work on it for this special year. Actually, the new rug that I take now, is also a bigger patriotic, as well. So... Christmas can wait.

light scraps week 4

I added light orange candy chains, 25 made year to date. I need 40 and 45 nine patches with borders.

It was time to trim two bits blocks to 10 1/2 inches. I have 42 finished. I am thinking 6 x 7.

Only one sugar grove block.was done. It is taking more time to finish them. I only need 4 more for the quilt, but I need to scrounge for more hsts.

When I started rolling windmills this year, I had a default of using dark in the center and light on the outside. This month's challenge to use light and pastels, I decided to try light in the center and dark on the outsides. My brain fought me the whole way, but, I like them.
