Monday Morning Design Wall 10/19/2015



 Good Morning, it has been quite a while since I posted due to being very busy these past few months.  I graduated two children, college and high school, sent one off for his year abroad in Asia and the youngest left for his freshman year of college.   As a new empty nester, I took on a more challenging job and have been working quite a bit.  I have completed many of my blocks for the P3Designs BOM for 2015.   I am almost caught up on these, having just downloaded and in the process of preparing the October blocks.  I am hoping to have my design wall cleaned up and ready to put all the blocks out on the wall by the end of the month. 

I did cut all the side triangles and extra pieces for my Sycamore Hill's BOM from 2014.  Still working on the layout as I don't want it to be too matchy-matchy but there are two of every block so I need to mix it up.  Check out Judy's website for other great design walls.

Monday Morning Design Wall 5/4/2015



Good Morning!  I finally started the 2015 Block of the Month for P3Designs.  I finished the first two months, blocks 1-10 and am working on 11-25 over the next few weeks.  The blocks are very small and easy so they go together pretty quickly.  The catch is that you make one block with the basket and a second flower for each block to be used later.  Remember to check out Judy's blog and see the rest of the design walls.

Monday Morning Design Wall 4/6/2015


Good Morning!  I had a very productive weekend.  I made myself a very quiltey garment bag complete with inside pocket!!  It turned out very nice and I just love it.  I made one for my daughter for her birthday also!

I also worked on my Linen Lady project and am binding the unfinished edge of my cut work lace.  I quilted the back ground fabric and once I finish the binding for the inside I will bind the outside!

I also worked on my embroidery for my applique project! Just a few more blocks and I get to sew them all together.  Remember to check out Judy's blog for the rest of the design walls.

Monday Morning Design Wall 3/16/2015


 

 Good Morning!  I am working on settings for my applique quilt.  I finally finished the last two blocks in this pattern.  There are 16 blocks but I did each twice but shrunk them by 50% so the are smaller.  So now I need a setting that uses 32 blocks.  A work in progress!  Any suggestions are welcome.  Remember to check out Judy's blog and see the rest of the blocks.

Monday Morning Design Wall 3/9/2015


Good Morning!   I have been on a Paper Piecing binge lately and after finishing my 120 Wild and Goosey blocks I started a few 3.5 inch pineapple blocks.  Just for fun!  They took the entire weekend to make the first 14 but they were fun.  I am thinking about making a few more.  Please remember to check on Judy's wall to see the rest of the design walls!

Monday Morning Design Wall 3/2/2015 Wild and Goosey Weekend



Good Morning!  I have had a blast all weekend making my Wild and Goosey Blocks from Bonnie Hunter.  I love using up my scraps and they have turned out so well.  I am not normally a paper piecing person but this was the perfect week/weekend and I finished my first 100.  I might make 40 more but I think that will be enough!!

Good Morning!!  Spent the weekend adding my detail to a block of  Forever Blooming.  I love the french knots!!  Hoping to get to the rest of the blocks done while I work on preparing the border applique pieces.   I also had time to get to a few Wild and Goosey blocks, from the Quiltmaker magazine, April 2013 I think.   These are 3.5 inch paper paper pieced blocks.  Trying to get through my scrap basket!!   Remember to check out Judy's blog and see the rest of the design walls!

Good Morning!!  Finally, finally, finally, I have prepped Block 8 of P3Design 2014 BOM, Forever Blooming!  YES!!  I only have to sew it down and now I can start the border!   I still have to go back and do all the embroidery on each block but that is I labor of love so I am looking forward to it!  Love how all my blocks turned out and so looking forward to trying out different colors for my border applique.  I also finished the top of Grand Illusion Mystery by Bonnie Hunter!  I will be getting it ready to quilt today so I am very excited!   Happy Monday all, remember to check out Judy's blog for the rest of the design walls.
