First let me apologize for such a full Design Wall! I have been so busy and I have way too many things going on, but that's a good thing right?
What is in front of Wendy's project is the one that needs to be finished first. Kandle Kounting is a Buggy Barn design called Today is your Birthday! I'm making it for my sister...sshh...it is a surprise for her big 50th that is early October. There are 12 cakes in three colors; black, cream, and red. I used Buggy Barn's Angle Among Us fabric line for most of the project. Each of these blocks get trimmed down to a consistent size and set four across and three down. There is lettering that will go on the top and right side 6" borders. I'm working hard against the clock to have this done by Saturday.
Then there is Wendy's project the L-Medallion quilt by Marti Michelle. I have the setting triangles and the borders to put together yet.
Last Thursday I took a class with Joyce Weeks. We made her pattern Survivor. I have five done with much more to do. I'm excited about the start. I would love to be working on this project. So disappointing to take a class and want to keep going with it but instead need to be working on something else.
I took a second class with Julanne Bergstrom on Saturday. We made If the Hat Fits! by Buggy Barn. I got one of the witches done during class, but this one too needs to be put on simmer until I can get other projects where they need to be.
Tonight to keep up with Deck-ade the Halls I will be working on the mugs. It is the last blocks to be made before assembling the project. There are a group of us with Sunshine Quilt Guild that have been making this project from Fat Quarters Shop through the summer. We are planning a Show and Share at our first meeting of this new membership year on Tuesday night.
I'm real happy with all my projects even if I have a cluttered Design Wall! Enjoy your week and hope you find a bit of time to see other quilt projects and a clearer Design Wall through the links today at Patchwork Times.
I have nothing used and nothing gained this week. I've been very busy with sewing projects, but nothing to show except projects in work.
Can you see that I'm overlapping projects? I got Krazy Kattle back from Kerry too this past week. Next week perhaps I'll have something to change my stats.

What a busy day today. The quilts at the San Diego Quilt Show were wonderful. Everywhere eye candy! We had a two hour break in our workshop to take in the show and of course the vendors. I have photos of all the ribbon winning quilts that I will share with you over the weekend. I give you one in this post that in my opinion should have won something for it's humorous appeal. The roll was pretty full too!
These were the blocks I finished during class. We had a small class, but all that much more attention individually by Joyce Weeks. Being a scrappy quilt there was much cutting involved to get that important variety. I pretty much cut most of the morning, so the afternoon saw more sewing. Joyce introduced us to a new ruler...this one for flying geese squaring up. It is called Fit to be Geese by Open Gate Quilts. She had some available in class to try. I was sold and Joyce had few available to purchase. One came home with me. There will be more on this project a bit later and the ruler.
Wendy, I'm coming along on your project. I finished the center Wednesday evening and now I'm putting the pinwheels together. The pinwheels go around the center and the 12 blocks get set on point after the pinwheels. I'm nearing the home stretch.
Got to get my stretching in and to bed. I have a full workday tomorrow. Enjoy your Friday!
