New Design Wall

Some of you readers know that I was looking to redo my design wall.  Thank you to all who gave suggestions of what to use.  By far, most of you said to use flannel.  I did. Jo-Ann's had white solid flannel on sale, so I bought two yards, Then put it aside - 2 weeks of vacation started the next day. Now back, and able to continue my redo, I straighten the edges of my fabric - measures now 44 x 68.
And DH helped me staple it to my stash bookcase.

I use my design wall also as a cover for my stash to keep it from fading as across from it are two large south facing windows.  To try it out I started another St. Anne's scrap bag baby quilt top.

This also qualifies as a WIP as the blocks are made from scraps from other baby quilts from about 4 years ago. Not on my challenge list (that was a no show this month with all the vacationing), but Yeah!  another WIP top about to be done.  I still have another border to add to it to make it the 35 - 36" square required size.  I'll be linking to some parties - see the tab below the header for more fun quilt browsing.

What are you up to?

Sandwiched, Stitched, Turned and Quilted

This went together fast - a bit over an hour.  Baby quilt for St. Anne's.  Did a wide meander over it. Flannel on back; fabric on front.

The quilting mojo is coming back even though it is 108 outside right now.  Heard from my cousin - no more rain or water in the house.  Harvey is east of them now. Praise be!

Zilch on Design Wall

and I only got 3 1/2 of my 11 hexies done during my trip.  I was reading instead of sewing at the airports, and that seemed to be the only time I had for them - visiting and touring took up all the rest of the time away from home.

I mentioned that one night (Thur) last week I made a peach pie - no pic unfortunately.  They put it in the refrigerator for today's celebration for my #1 son's birthday.  Happy 45th, Son!





Stash report:  0yds out - 8 yards in = last YTD 62.14 - 8.0 = 54.14 yds. Well, I'm still over half way to my goal.  Did you get to quilt in the last two days?  Let me know.

Off to sandwich a quilt.  Blessings!
