Design Wall Monday

This week I am on a much need vacation and a getaway to San Antonio Texas for the first annual  Dear Jane Texas Cowgirl Round up with Brenda Papadakis! Headed off in the morning for 5 days of working on those 4.5 inch blocks and some triangles too. Looking forward to meeting up with fellow Janiacs for food, fun, and lots of sewing! 

I will be working on the Red White and Blue Dear Jane, started two years ago. Yes, this quilt takes a bit of work, but I really enjoy the challenge of the paper pieced blocks, and working on my applique skills.  Below are the latest finished blocks for this quilt. So far about 50 completed.

Also on the Design Wall this week is Woodland Wildlife. All the pieces are cut and placed, just need some time to sew them all down. Won't be happening this week, but will get to this as soon as I return.

Also, on the Design Wall is the almost completed challenge for Sunshine Quilters, based on the game Clue. I just have to add one more element, then quilt and bind. It is small so should go quickly. Can't show until the reveal at meeting on June 9th. Hope to finish it up as soon as I return from Texas. It has been a busy couple of weeks on My Design Wall.

Hope you are getting a lot accomplished also! Check out more ideas and inspirations

Stash Repot

Thanks to Sandi over at Kwiltnkats, I have some usage to report. Sandi did a class for

 Paradise Sewing quilt shop on a quilt carry bag. You can see it on her site here. I provided her with strips and I got a bag and some stash usage. Pretty good trade on my end!

While awaiting the release of the May UFO from 52 Quilts, I am working on the quilt below. This is the Night and Day Pattern by Eleanor Burns at Quilt in a Day. It looks complicated, but the blocks actually went together very quickly. Blocks are complete, just need to sew the rows and then add three borders. 

Night and Day

Tomorrow is a day off, so hope to get this one complete and add to my Stash Report on Sunday!

2015 UFO Challenge

Hooray my April UFO is complete and just in time for the Parade over at 52 Quilts!

Sisters Nine Patch was started a couple of years ago, when I was looking for a pattern to use up all the red scraps that I had. This is another of Bonnie Hunter's patterns from her earlier book, "Adventures with Leaders and Enders" It is also very large, finishing at 94x94 and has 169 Nine Patch Blocks.

Sisters Nine Patch

Nice to have this one complete. Now off to see what else I can finish while awaiting the

 May UFO release. Have a great rest of the week!

Sunday Stash Report

No finishes this week, but very close on my Sisters Nine Patch. The center is sewn and pressed and all that is left are the borders. Just in time for the Parade later this week. 

I added the fabrics below, all purchased at Rosie's Calico Cupboard in San Diego. If you are every in the area, this is a must stop! The red and cheddar are for another Bonnie Hunter project that is on my UFO list, called Midnight Flight.

Happy Monday! This week I will be putting together my April UFO, Sister's Nine Patch. This pattern comes from Bonnie Hunters book, Adventures with Leaders and Enders. This was one of her first books and a quilt that I started a couple of years ago. Glad that I am finally finishing this one.

In between putting this together, I will also be working on the star blocks for Survivor.

Here is my progress so far. All the center for the star blocks complete and the points for the stars in progress.

Have a great week and check out more projects at Patchwork Times.
