Design Wall Monday 8/13/12

2nd flimsie of three almost done and on my design wall.  The twins were born Friday - seven weeks early, although the doc is now saying the due date may have been 2 weeks earlier than thought.  Daniella and Lucia weighed in at 4 - 6 and 4-10 and are doing very well.  The pediatrician said they are healthy.  Mother doing fine.  Now I just have to finish the quilts by the 19th if only the weather and life let me work on them.

What 's on your design wall?  Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times and see what others are doing.

Applique Thursday 8/9/12 & Giveaway

With temperatures of 109, 107, 106  not much of anything is getting done around here what with swimming lessons and playing with Alan a must.  Here's as far as I got with the next block - mind you I came home from CO at midnight Sunday -

What with hardly any quilting getting done, I so need eye candy to get me back in the groove. So this week's giveaway is a book ( a duplicate actually) that I think you'll really like.  Don was featured in SewCalGal's 2012 FMQ Challenge.  He had a great lesson for us.  I've used a couple of his motifs so I'll be keeping the other copy.  To win this copy, all you need to do is comment or link to have a chance for it to be yours. Or do both and have two chances. Submissions end Sunday night. Use the blue link below the photo.
