Design Wall Monday

Up on my design wall is my mini medallion quilt from scraps - first round done with Flying Nene geese - state bird of Hawaii.  Now measures 8 1/2 by 10 1/2.

I'll be linking to Oh, Scrap!, Design Wall Monday, Moving it Forward and BOMs Away. Visit for quilty goodness.

I'm hand stitching my 12th applique for Anna's Garden. That should give me my 15 minutes to stitch for Kate's party.  I've been so busy I'v been 3 days without sewing in the last two weeks. Sigh. Here's the block in process. I've done the leaves on the bottom and working on the others. Have a quilty week!

Some of This; Some of That

Remember that unit for my Anna's Garden that I couldn't get to the right size.  I figured it out! I opened up my EQ6, made the block, and printed the templates. Phew - I thought I was never going to get finished with these blocks.

Here's the first dud and the correct unit.  You can see the points will be visible on the one on the right.

Now to make three more.  They'll go faster as I can chain piece them according to DD.

Still quilting my UFO. Must be done by Monday. Gulp.

So from the garden here's some photos:

love these spectacular orange flowers

Here's Turok (from Avatar) of the plant world

And finally a photo of my DGD at the park.  She's having fun!

Go on over to I Like Thursdays for some great photos. 

On My Design Wall

Still contemplating what to do with those tiny blocks. In the meantime, I made a flannel back for the next baby quilt and kept quilting that UFO - half way done now.  The flannel was a donation to St. Anne's, so it doesn't count toward destashing.  Did use .05 yd for the medallion quilt. My YTD grew to 37.17 yds - sigh.

The heat is on - our high today was 94.  Rest of the week, it's back down to the low 70s.  Glad I took this photo:  

Now it's a wilted shriveled blob of yellow.  How long do flowers last in your yard?
