Design Wall Monday???

OOP!  it is Wednesday.  What happened.  Wayne (DH) was in Fla with the camera.  He went with his son on a school trip.  The son is a high school science teacher and every spring he takes 9th graders to the Keys to swim in the barrier reefs and then to Tampa to Bush Gardens and swimming with the manatees.  So, Wayne took the camera, but no pictures.  Next time I will just keep the camera home. 

The design wall is empty, cause I have been sewing those pesky pieces together.  This does not go together well.  But here is where I am.  Now I am down to 8 slices to combine to make a star.  Maybe by next Monday??? 

And here is a flower from the mystery quilt.  The new step is to add diamonds to the hexies to get leaves on the flowers.  Looks really cool., I am loving it.

I am also working on covering some sailboat cushions for our son.  We have the piping made, yes, Wayne is helping.  He cut out all of the pieces and I am doing most of the sewing.  Tho he did sew some of the piping this morning while I was at the doctors office.  I am proud of him.  He used my Viking D1, which he is afraid of, he did great.  Will get pictures when I have something to take a picture of, like a cushion.

Design Wall Monday

I missed the Stash Report yesterday.  But that is ok because there were no changes, 0 in 0 out.

So here is the design wall.  I am making progress on this quilt. Yea!!  Now to cut the pieces that fill in the background and start putting it together.  Looking good, in my opinion anyway.

On top of this I took up a mystery quilt with Gyleen Fitzgearld from Colorful Stitches, you can find her here.  .http://www.colourfulstitches.com/    We are to make 12 hexie flowers.  Here is a picture of what I have done so far.  Just a clue, these are BIG, cut from a 5 1/2 inch strip, using her Polygon2 Tool.  These are sewn on the machine and are going together soo fast.  I did all of them this afternoon.  I need 12 before the next step is passed out.  I have the rest of this week.

I also made a red, white and blue 9 patch for the nite guild QOV challenge.  We will each make a block every month and take turns putting them into a quilt.  Our goal is 10 QOV's by the end of the Quilters of South Carolina (QSC) challenge next March.  Read about it here  http://www.quiltersofsc.org/

Missing Stash Report

There is no stash report this week... I missed the dead line yesterday.  I was at Hilton Head Island at QSC's yearly Spring Meeting.  Carol Taylor was our guest speaker.  She was great.  I also took a class from her.  I learned to couch fancy yarns and make skinny lines running thru a square for the borders.  It was great fun, but I am pooped.  So, rest today.

Happy Quilting

Design Wall Monday

Ok, here it is.  I am still working on my Deb K quilt.  More done yea.  All of the paper pieced pieces are finished, just need trimmed.  Need to cut out background piece and sew them together.  Double I will get much done this week.  Getting ready for QSC Spring Meeting on Saturday and a class with Carol Taylor on Sunday.  So I should have something to show next week.  But I digress.  Here is this weeks progress.

As you can see I have all of the star points completed.

Here are the spikes that go between each star point and the flying geese that go around the whole star.  I am getting there, slowly, but there.

You can see more Design Wall Monday's at the Patchwork Times linkup. Just click on the name.

Stash Report

You know this Stash Report thing is making me blog more than I was.  This is a good thing. 

Well, I blew it this week.  Need some  yellow and orange for the Deb K. quilt and some batiks for this coming weekend QSC Spring Meeting Class with Carol Taylor.  I was doing ok, until I found the sale stuff. LOL  I got just over a yard for half off the yard price of baseball fabric.  Think Kids Quilts.  And there were several stacks of fat quarters at half off.  So they were good deals. 

Report time:
Added: 9 1/3 yards
Used: 0   really used some, but project is not complete

For year:

total added - 21 1/3

total used -  47 3/4

Net total gone - 28 1/2

I would really be in the hole if it wasnt for all of those pillow cases I made.

Follow others stash reports at Patchwork Times.


To the right is - How the Grinch Stole Christmas II from Robert Kaufman.

To the left are the fabrics for my Carol Taylor class.  The 2 on the left I had, the 4 on the right I just bought.  The blues and purples have some green/yellow in them, so how about my zinger.  Yes, it is bright.  Planning on using it for accents.? Wish me luck!
