Design Wall Monday, February 29, 2016




Today is truly a Design Wall Monday!  My wall is full of Kaffe Kisses...  I have yet to decide on an arrangement but all the units are sewn.  The next step is deciding on the arrangement then continuing with the sewing.  There is still trimming involved too.

I found the tool you see excellent for lining up the edges for the curve seams of Step 9 in the process.

As mentioned yesterday here is where I am with the many "in work" projects that grace my sewing room.  Are you ready?
Kourageous
Patchwork of the Crosses
(needs a name)
Kastaway
Kutarug
Kilimanjaro
Kalvery
Kanton Kull
Quilt Square Quilt Along
(needs a name)
Feel free to help me with a few "K" names...  Kourageous is the dusty one with Quilt Square Quilt Along right behind.  Patchwork of the Crosses will probably be last to finish.  All the rest are fairly new with another new one starting on Tuesday.  March UFO is soon to be named in 52Quilts lottery.  See more great projects today through the links at Patchwork Times.  Happy Leap Year Day =^.^=

Saturday, September 12, 2015

As you may know the San Diego Quilt Show is in full swing today.  On Wednesday I took a workshop to learn all about hexies.  Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses was my class taught by Tina Rainer.  It was a small class, but we stitched away after preparing our hexie shapes.  Below is the patterns's cover and a variation of what it can become.  I'm pretty certain the size of the pattern's cover will finish my project.

While I attended the workshop Stella Lightning supplied the task lamps for the classroom.  Offering a show price...well what to say...I was hooked.  I purchased one in white that will clamp to my sewing cabinet.  I should receive it within a week.  Hopefully it will cut down on the heat in my room as well as shed some different light on my sewing station.  Contact Mary Jean Murphy at Stella Lighting if you are interested in one of these task lights.  The model is called the Edge.
Finally, I ended up with some nice items from the goodie bag students receive.  I've taken many things out of the bag already, these items made it to the sewing room.

Enjoy your Saturday!
