Design Wall Monday-Sept.23, 2013

The best laid plans went by the wayside this past week.  Only got one more block made for the Progressive BOM. Hopefully I'll have 2 more done by next Monday!
Was playing around with some other blocks I had made for a strip club quilt.  Maybe I'll get something accomplished on that one as well.

Galen's trip plans for 2 days last week was postponed to this Monday and Tuesday.  So other than taking Dad to the Y etc. I should be home playing with fabric.  We just finished planting more native shade or light sun loving plants so I won't have to do that while he is away.  We did have rain on Friday, not as much as Judy, but a little over 2 inches!  Everything looks so fresh once again with the dust washed off the leaves.  And it has been very pleasant to be sitting outside and also have the house windows open.  I do enjoy this time of the year!


Back to Patchworktimes!

A little to show this week. First off is a better picture of the Jelly Roll quilt. Still have not decided if I will border it or not. At this point I am thinking not. But then you never know! It doesn't have a name. It was designed by Sue who works at Honey Bee in Austin for one of their strip clubs. It's a combination of a 4 patch, 2", 4" up to 20" strips. While in the motel I also worked on quilt blocks using the MSQC Chevron u-tube video.  Here's 32 of them. Had to do a little frogging on several . there will be 40 total. Think I will make 2 small quilts-4 x 5 with a narrow border of white, then a 4 inch wide print border. One layout I am thinking of using from her video has some half blocks, so I'm not rushing to finish the last few until I get it all laid out. I used a layer cake I had on hand. It's a floral. Forget the name but probably still have the particulars some where! Have several more projects started - the motel was go...

  April 1 2025 And a month later I’m doing a blog post! March was a strange month.  The Weather was crazy- cold days, warm days. Days where you didn’t want to be out much. Smoke from the wildfires west of us,  not to mention the dust being driven to us by strong winds. And very little rain.  Our total so far for the first 3 months.  3.77 inches.  We got .6 while towns along the coast got 14 to 20 this past week. Galen wasn’t able to get out much but he did get a few pictures. He went down to our small lake one afternoon looking for Dragonflies.   While there an Eagle flew in fairly close.  He thought he had seen one a few weeks earlier but it was flying away so he wasn’t able to get any pictures.  This time he did. Eagle at Forest Creek Several times we had Cedar Waxwings in the yard feeding on our Yupon Holly bushes.   They really go after the berries. Galen managed to get one picture with them at the birdbath.  Just befo...

  Design Wall Monday I hope everyone enjoying the Memorial Day holiday remembers why we celebrate this day.. Last week ended up being busier than planned. But I was able to work more on my blocks. This may end up being a table square or a table runner. Played a little bit the blocks. Not sewn together just playing with layout. I have more HSTs  made. And some others ready to be made into blocks. Didn’t get to meet up with Osie last week.  Hopefully we can get together later this week. And needo get busy on more doggie bandanas. Plan to spend lots of time bonding with my machine!!   poodlegirls     Daily Happenings ,  General Sewing ,  Life at home ,  Quilting ,  Uncategorized   Leave a comment     May 26, 2025   1 Minute
