Stitch Sew & Show 2022 ~ Week 2

 

Welcome to Week 2 of 2022! 

I found my fabric for my Pantone Color of the Year 2022 project! 

It turned out that last year I pulled it out of my big closet and stashed it in a cube in the storage unit right near my sewing machine.  I have wanted to make this for a long time.  The fabric is probably about ten years old.

Originally I bought fabric yardage, as is what is left on the right, at my local quilt shop and used a some of it in a quilt. Then I decided I had to have more of the collection and called them up and the collection was sold out except for this wall hanging kit. I asked her to put it aside for me, which is why it says "For Pat" written on the bag, and I picked it up the next time I was in the shop. It was even on clearance sale at the time.  It is always good to have friends in local quilt shops. 

As I have big blue hydrangeas in my yard, I have always wanted to make a quilt in these colors. I am currently working on a different sewing project, but this one has moved up the queue. This is the year

I am also currently working on my Sampler Squares Crochet Afghan when I just need to sit, rest and keep my hands busy.

What are you working on?

Stitch Sew & Show 2022 ~ Week 1 ~ Join in the Fun!

Welcome to Stitch Sew & Show 2022! 

I started Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 1 here in 2021.

By December I was questioning whether I was going to continue in 2022.

After thinking it over and realizing that I made some very creative and kind new friends last year and that my little online sewing circle was growing and has given  me many smiles and much inspiration. 

Warm hugs to all who have participated!

The image at the top is a temporary one.

My daughter made last my button for me last year and will be updating it for me when she has time.

For this year's background I have chosen the ...

Pantone Color of the Year 2022

If I were asked what my favorite shade of purple is it would be Periwinkle Blue in its the deepest blue tones.  

I do have fabric and a project that has been in my queue for a very long time that would use this color in its palette wonderfully. 

I think I am going to have to go fabric spelunking in my big closet and dig this gem out of its fabric cave.

My sewing machine is still covered though and has been since Thanksgiving.

My sewing machine is calling my name. 

My current project is this 

Christmas Candy Crochet Striped Sampler

This is a Annie's Crochet Stripe Afghan Club monthly program. 

Kitty helper Nutmeg has been most interested in this new project. 

Most helpful.

After a day which included an hour long dentist appointment this morning and a two hour nap this afternoon, and a bit of an ice storm off and on all day, the evening of Day 5 find me still working on this very easy Stripe 3

I hope to sit and stitch after publishing this post.

Below is the link to join the party.

This is a very informal party ... no stress, no prizes, no finish needed.

This is just a place to share what you are working on with others

and enjoy their inspiration.

Think of it as sitting at home while stitching with a group of friends.

I have always enjoyed sharing with others and have received much kindness in return.

This is a way for me to say thank you and to encourage others.

This link will remain open until next Tuesday so you may join in on any day or at any time.

Please join in the fun for 2022 

and share what you are working on ...
