Design Wall

This week, and for the month, I have been working on my Lady of Lake Erie project. This is my UFO from August, have not even started September, except for the pieces that Sandi cut for me!

Here is Bonnie Hunter's Version in Blues.

I have about another 20 blocks to complete and then will be putting borders together. I am making it queen size for my mom, so there are 100 of these blocks. They are going together pretty fast, so hope to complete them today, and get the rest of quilt finished by end of the week.

Hope your September was more productive than mine! Check out more inspiring projects at Patchwork Times.

Sunday Stash Report

After the San Diego Quilt Show this week, the stash is going in the wrong direction.  The Show was great, with over 300 quilts on display and many vendors to shop. Below are three of my quilts that were in the show.

Crab Apples

Mexican Stars

Pfeffernuese

I also took a class during the show, Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses with Tina Rainer. This was a hand piecing class, no sewing machine! We learned how to prep the hex pieces and how to fussy cut to get the cross design. I did not think I would like all the hand sewing, but in the end I really enjoyed it. This will be a project I will take along in the car, when DH and I go on our road trips

Below are my adds from the Quilt Show. Fabrics for the Union Blues Quilt and for a quilt called Postage Due that I could not pass up.

So this is where I am for the year- not in the black anymore!

Hope your numbers are better than mine! Check out more reports at Patchwork Times.
