Design Wall Monday



Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all who have served!

Winter Blues in Black remains on the desing wall this week, but I am pushing to get it finished by the end of the week. 

I have also pulled out the next blocks for Autumn Love. I will be working on finishing blocks for April, and then May blocks. I have also pulled out blocks to prep for June as it is only days away. April blocks below are Autumn words and 4 harvest star blocks.

Plenty to keep me busy this week!

 Still working on the center of Winter Blues. Sewing all these 4" blocks together is taking some time. In between I am sewing the border units together. Hope to get this completed soon!


On the Longarm is Sandi's Michigan quilt, aka Koastline. Have just the leaves to finish up and then it will be off to her next week.

 This week I will be finishing up my Shoo Fly quilt and working on more Microwave bowls. These are for Deborah, one of my quilting friends from San Diego.

Microwave bowls cut out and ready for sewing.

Shoo Fly just needs borders, just deciding on what color to use for border. Thinking of either a pink or a purple. After this is complete, I will be back to working on the Black and White quilt for my sister Leigh.

On the longarm this week is my Dresden plate quilt that was finsihed awhile back. This is more of a custom job and I am finally getting to it, inbetween some charity quilts.
