Design Wall Monday

 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.

Enjoy your Monday and happy sewing!

 Back home from our trip and I have a lot to get working on! I am back to working on the setting of the Shoo Fly blocks, as this is one of my UFO's that will be due for Sunrise stitchers in May. With May just around the corner and a trip to San Diego planned next week, I need to get going on this one.

Making Progress!

Have a great week!

Sunday Stash Report

Today is our last morning of retreat. It has been a fun 3+days and we all hope to get together next year. I was able to finish 8 pieced blocks with 4 more applique blocks that are prepped and will be hand sewn while we are on the road.

Dear Hannah Blocks

Also completed were 3 of the Love and Kisses blocks. This will be a fun and easy quilt to put together and I will be working on more of this when I get home.
