Design Wall Monday 12/12/11

The coverlet is back at the top of the pile of projects to be worked on.  Just a row on the right and left and the top is done.  It will be all ready for next summer - LOL.  Was suppose to be this summer, but it won't go on my ufo list for 2012.

Go to Judy's Patchwork Times (on sidebar) to see what others have on their design walls.  Always great eye candy.

Applique Thursday 12/8/11

So busy - it seems the more I try to do the more I have to do!  Not much done in the sewing room right now, but I did manage to unearth a yellow thread I felt was good enough to finish my black bird.  Here is a close-up of the way I machine appliqued it.

The flash accented the thread color.  It doesn't stand out that much in real life.  Yes, I did straight stich - just like our foremothers did long ago.

So this block is now done.

I'm still trying in the few minutes I can sneak into my room to desperately to finish my ufo.  I've gotten the four borders on and now am quilting them.

Will then just have the binding to do, phew!

Sure could use some eye candy about now to have a moment to slow down, sit back and admire your work - can be from a while back, in process, or wish list item.  Please share a link to your applique or any quilty work you are doing now at the blue link below.  Look foward to it!
