Design Wall Monday 10/24/11

On my wall today are eight mug rugs I have to have done by tuesday evening.  You can see my first one on the right.  I'll work on them in between packing and getting things ready to leave done at home.  Don't have to worry about DH and eating - he's a great cook.  I'm taking the rugs to Houston.  They will measure 5 1/2" square.

What's on your design wall?  Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times on my left sidebar and see what great things quilters are up to.

Stash Report 10/23/11

Not a quilty week at least stash wise. This is how it went:
Monday - a marathon quilting bee whereby friend Deanna and I assembled the top to our challenge 9:30 - 3pm,and we got a lot done. Phew!

Tuesday, I added the temporary borders to the quilt - will finish after Houston. Mom came over, we went for flu shots after picking up Will, then off the the LQG meeting in the PM. There were over 20 entries and we won 2nd place! We were so excited!!

Wednesday - all day in Duarte - we did plan a quilt and I brought home one Deanna(another Deanna - this one DDIL)had made the top and would like my mom to finish. It is a T-shirt quilt. PM went to three hour TESL class.

Thursday - housework in am and at noon went to MVA to babysit the boys (Will and Alan) so that DD and DSIL could drive into LA for a concert. There til Friday.

Friday - home 8:30 AM and then got an emergency call for a check for Friends of the Library so dashed to get ready, deliver the check and back by 10:30 to go with Torre to luncheon from Sandy's ( half hour away)then another half hour to restaurant. Not home til 3:30. At 5:30 off to do bread delivery. This evening I did get a chance to cut some mug rugs out to take with me next Wednesday.

Saturday - all day yardsale for our Women's Co-Op group (we have met monthly for the last 33 years). We made a little over $500!

So today I may have a chance to work on the mug rugs in between washing clothes, dyeing my hair, starting to pack, cooking a special request for DH, etc.

Applique Thursday 10/20/11

I'm still working on my cherry tree.  7 leaves and 2 cherries to go.  I don't know why I keep taking it with me when I visit Duarte.  There is no way darling Lily will give me time to work on it -LOL.  Hope springs eternal.

Would love to see your applique/piecing project - past, present, in process or future!  Please link your blog post below or even of a photo.  Love eye candy of the applique kind.
