Design Wall Monday

 Not to much will be happening in my quilting studio this week. I am in San Diego to visit with family and friends and will not return to AZ until late on Saturday.

I left with two more backgrounds pulled together for the Calendar Quilts. These are for August and September quilts.

I am also in the process of finishing this wool decoration for my yazzi bag. It is from a kit that was a wall hanging and I used part of it for my bag. Just need to sew down the edges.

I think it turned out super cute. I am also still prepping applique for the Michigan quilt. I am about 3/4 of the way done and will start glue basting down to borders when I get home.

Hope you are working on something fun this week. Catch up with me on Sunday and see what I found at Rosie's Calico Cupboard in San Diego. Happy Sewing!

 This week I will be working on my Calendar Quilts, my UFO for July. I am starting with August, Sept and October. The backkgrounds are all 4.5" squares and I am going through my stash to pull fabrics. I think pulling the fabrics will take the longest,

Below are blacks cut our for October's pumkin. The appliques will be machine sewn onto the backgrounds.

Also in the works is prepping applique for my Michigan quilt, So far have almost enough for one side.

Michigan Applique pieces,

I will also be awaiting the 8th month for Vintage Christmas. This should include all that is needed for the sashing. Last month will be the border.

This arrived last week when I returned from Boulder. My new Accuquilt Go electric cutter. I have been practicing with the die that it came with and just purchased a couple of dies that I think I will use the most for the quilts I want to make.

Excited to be able to speed up cutting and save my wrists for binding!

Happy Sewing!

Design Wall Monday

 In Boulder, Co today, so nothing to share on my design wall. I will be working on my Calendar Quilts when I get home. These are mini quilts for each month, a project started a number of years ago. This is my UFO for July and I have 4 completed with 8 more to go.

My Sister, Niece and I,  headed out for a hike this morning, to Flagstaff Mountain, through Gregory Canyon. A beautiful hike with a view of Boulder and Mountains.

Stream along our hike.

Mountains on backside of trail.

It was raining on our way back to the trailhead, as you can see from the clouds above. We made it back to the car, just a little bit wet. Next we headed back to Pearl Street for lunch and more shopping. Thats where I found this cute fabric shop right off the main street called Fabricate. Mostly modern fabrics with some craft and clothing fabrics. Very cute and very friendly staff. Check out my Stash report next week to see what I found.

We were off to wedding later in the day.

It was a beautiful wedding and we all had a great time. Back home tomrrow and back to quilting stuff  in next week's report!

 Happy Summer Solstice-today is the longest day of the year!

On my design wall this week is Hocus Pocus, made from the Fig Tree line of fabrics called All Hallows Eve. I just love these fabrics! All the pumpkin blocks were completed over the weekend and I will be working on the 7 remaining star blocks and then putting it all together. A purchase will be in the works for a backing for this one.

Hocus Pocus

Leftover fabrcis from this project will be used to make the small wallhanging below called 

Pumpkin Trio. Lots of Fall quilts going on this week in my sewing room.

I will be off to Colorado on Friday for my Nephew's wedding in Bolder. The wedding is not until Monday, so we  will be doing some hiking, river rafting and Ziplining while we are there. Should be a fun long weekend for me. Enjoy your week!
