WIP Wednesday 4/18/12

I'm putting together a carpenter's star to have ready when Judy at Patchwork Times (see sidebar) has her feather quilting demo.  Another opportunity to learn more/practice free motion quilting.  I've minimized it as I didn't want a huge project - this will be about 32" square - her's more like 48 x60.

I'm linking this to Esther's WIP Wednesday.  you can see the button on my sidebar.  What are you working on today?

Design Wall Monday 4/16/12

Here is a new project I started yesterday.  I can't show you much as it is a surprise for an online sister of a group I belong to.  It's not only a new project, but a new technique too.  Should be interesting.  It involves curves, but only straight stitching.  Oh, yes and a new notion - a ruler to be exact.  And yes, it is Christmas fabrics.

It's not to late to participate in my giveaway.  Ends Wednesday evening.  Click here to guess.

So what's on your design wall? I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times and Lynn's BOMs Away - both buttons on sidebar.  Go on over and see what everyone is doing, and add your linky so we can see what you are doing, too.
