Design Wall Monday

I am no longer using the design wall "stairs". I have moved to the design "couch". I finished my "Feedsack" quilt top and I was going to move it outside for cool shot but the lightning made me think twice. So here is my quilt top. Jennifer was here again tonight. Not much sewing was done but we have been working on the sewing room and I can see the floor. Wow!!! Stop by  Judy L's blog to see what everyone else is doing.

There was a song we used to sing as children about the "lonely little petunia in an onion patch". This is what my lone block on my design wall must feel like. I made the first of 72 blocks for my Scrap Basket Spectacular pattern called Feed Sack this morning before I went to work. It was quick and easy but I need to cut the rest of my strips the desired sizes which I will do after I finish this post. Check in at Judy L's to see what every one else is working on.

Here is the next project I want to do. It is called Feed Sack and  it is from the book Scrap Basket Surprises.

 I am making the quilt to fit my full size bed that I am getting ready to redo. I am making my own head board,  scrapping and repainting a metal bed frame and put it all on risers. I figure I will need 72 blocks. I have cut up all of my 30's prints and 29 out of 72 4.5" squares for the center. So here are some of the strips that I cut today.Stop at Judy's and see what others are up to.

Here is what is on my design wall. It is my Olympic project. It is not going well. But it is snowing yet again. It is begining to sound like a broken record. I have been doing some quilting at work in between phone calls. Stop over at Judy L's page see what is on everyone else's wall.

Leaders and Enders. These are just a few of the leaders and enders I have accumulated over the past several years. I found these in a bag in the sewing room with lots of 2.5" squares. I have checked out Bonnie Hunter's site on Quiltville.com and I have found several patterns I would like to try. Go check out Judy L's blog to see what everyone else is working on.

Nothing on the design wall today. I am working on projects from the UFO basket I finished the lamp for my dining room and am working on hand piecing a small wall hanging with Iris fabric. Check out Judy L's blog to see what everyone else is working on.

There is nothing on my design wall. I am still working on my Christmas quilt. Actually, it is the components of a quilt. I am doing a bunch of it by hand while at work. I have made some bowtie blocks, nine patch blocks, and a couple of half square triangles. But nothing much to show for it.

I did have some excitement in my day today. I came home today and was starting to cook dinner and opened the blind over my sink and something fell into the sink. A bat. It ended up in the disposal and zip it is gone. All the lights are on in house right now and I will sleep with all the lights on until I am sure that there are no more bats in my house.

This is what is on my makeshift design wall. These are some of the blocks from my Quiltathon project. I need a total of 30 blocks and somewhere along the way I miscounted and now I need to make 3 more blocks. Check out Judy L's blog to see what everyone else is working on!!!

It's week 2 and there is nothing on my design wall. In fact, there is no design wall in my sewing room. I am still having trouble getting motivated to sew. I did start a crocheting a scarf for me. It is blue and soft. I think I will need another skein to finish it. I also inherited a fat quarter for my 30's quilt that I have yet to start. If we do not have to work overtime tomorrow night, I am going to do something in the sewing room. I can work in the sewing room and watch the Biggest Loser.

I am babysitting in Kentucky this weekend and need to start getting my stuff together. We are having home made chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast on Saturday and homemade pizza for lunch. I have found a cool craft project for them to work on and I have a cookie kit to make and decorate cookies. Cool thing is that I can leave all the stuff at their house. No extra mess at my house. I do need to get some blue paste food coloring as I promised Vincent to dye his milk blue the next time I saw him.

I don't really have a design wall. So I am using my sewing table and a piece of muslin to simulate a design wall. This is a wall hanging I made several years ago to honor my son who is deceased. I will be adding a border to this and then hand quilting it. This is the year to work on UFO's in my sewing room. Check out the our talented ladies at Judy L's blog.
