design wall monday July 27, 09


Cully is home from camp...so the design wall is
getting quite crowded...both of our focus quilts
are getting pretty large.
Cully's double 4 patch is getting borders. he has one more side to add to 1st border, the whatever
he is going to add next.
the goose creek quilt needs 18 more blocks, so I have a ways to go. I have one more house block to make for the simple scrappy treasures quilt...then i wll be making friendship stars.
i did get one more setof black and solids done on the 9patch and snowball. pulling 3 quilts out of
the UFO stack and working on them for a month seems to be working...my goal was to gain
on them and i have..
this weeks quilting goals are:
1. to get at least one more block done on each of these three quilts.
2. get one more side of my geese border assembled
3. get the bad tension quilting picked out of the batik quilt and restart it.
4. remember to continue working on the kids quilts for Church.

Design wall Monday...July 20,09

my design basically has 3 ongoing projects
on it...goose creek blocks are to the left. Since
Cully is at boy scout camp for the week I can use
his space til he is back. It give s me a chance for
a tenitive lay out on my goose creek quilt
I am over half way

I have my right side border on my offset geese
ready to assemble. Once I take them down I
will get the other sides ready to go too. this is
my focus quilt for the week.

My simple scrappy treasures quilt is slowly gaining too...this week i am working on
houses. I made all the frayed 4 patch
blocks so they will go back into the box.

I did get a set of snow ball and 9 patch
made last week...

its going to take a lot of leader enders to get the goose borders assembled to I am using my
ongoing blocks in this way. they dont get done real fast this way however my goal was to gain
on them this month and i think (know) I will.

stash report #29 July 19, 2009

Since I had a small finish this week I am still getting my numbers to keep creeping down.

Fabric added this week 00 yds

Fabric busted this week 7.5 yds
Fabric busted this year 89.5 Yds

yep I still in the red, but as long as it keeps going down
I feel good...I do know that I have bought less than
20 yards of fabric, the rest was gifted to me and I love
it all! I some times just Pet the fabric! hmmmmmmmm
that doesn't get much busted!

I finished this Kids quilt for church for one of the boys,
definately a UFO! I am turning it in next week and hopefully i will have his sisters done too. I have about 3 more about
ready to go, and another one barely started. I guess its
a case of just getting to them.
I am slowly gaining on both the UFO list and the WIPS.
Its nice to sandwhich these smaller quilts between the bed
sized ones. I have a full to queen ready to go on the quilt frame...all I have to do is fire up the machine. bobbins are
wound and waiting.
Leah went home yesterday so I was kinda like a lost
puppy today. I think she might be back in october,
if not then during the holidays
I'm tired, I think I am going togive up for the night.

Design wall Monday...on Wednesday


well the design wall is kinda organized...Cully's quilt just
needs his borders. He has the inner border cut just has to assemble it. his double 4 patch is to the right.
to the left of that is the start of my geese, then further left
towards the top are the simple scrappy treasures blocks
that I am working on...blow them are my goose creek
blocks. far left are the snow ball and 9 patch blocks.
Are you confused yet?
on the chair is my assembled Jacobs ladder with one
half of the first solid border. I still have to put the top and bottom strips on.
I will be glad to get all the geese made...I don't think I
have enough cut...but i will wait til i have these sewn and
offset and then if i need to i will cut more.
i have not been getting much done as far as sewing goes.
things here are way great, have spent my sewing time playing and visiting with miss Leah.

whats on my design wall...July 6,2009

well, right now it looks like a mess...I pulled 3 UFOs from the stack to work on this month.
I sure hope I gain on them...If I bog down on one of them I will switch it out and try
again in an other month to get some thing done on it.
there is snowball and 9 patch from a swap up there from a swap, goose creek from
a no sew swap, and 2 blocks from Simple Scrappy Treasures a BOM from Claudia's
Quilt Shop...all 3 have a long way to go. All I want to do is gain on them.
Cully's quilt that he is working on is really coming together. he has the rows all made and
is ready to sew the horizontal rows.
I finely got the pieced borders on the scrappy X and O quilt only have the last plain borders to add. The batik and kona black Jacobs ladder? i am now piecing an offset flying goose border.
center is done.
had a fun day today, Irene, from Ohio Quilters was here all day ... she was cutting for a quilt,
I was cutting and piecing. It alwas seems to go better when 2 people are working on their
projects...Of coarse cully was here about an hour too!
Tomarrow evening I pick Leah up at the airport...it probably won't be a quilty day! I will
really be glad to see her!
every one out there have a great evening!
