Design Wall Monday

I am still working on the units for Midnight Flight. These are the 288 black/neutral half square triangles, read to be sewn together. After that I will finally be putting some blocks together. Only two more weeks to get this one complete and ready for the parade over at 52 quilts.

Design Wall

Happy Wednesday! 

No Stash Report this week, the numbers have not moved. On my Design Wall is Midnight Flight, my September UFO. I am still working on the different units that go into the blocks. Below are the 436 four patches that go into this quilt. Next up I will be working on the rest of the chevron units, and then the black/neutral half square triangles. Hopefully, soon, I will get some of the blocks together! This quilt is very labor intensive with all the different units, and lot's of them, that go into this quilt.

436 four patches.

Last night was our first meeting of the season for Sunshine Quilters, We got caught up on all that is happening for the coming year, had an Ice Cream Social and saw some great quilts during sharing.

Below is our opportunity Quilt for 2016/2017. I love this quilt and if I don't win, I will probably add it to my list to make.

We also had fun playing quilt Bingo for fat quarters! Unfortunately I did not have a winning card. The smarties were our markers!

Enjoy the rest of the week and hope you get some quality sewing time in! See more design walls at Patchwork Times.

As we remember 9/11.

It is hard to believe that 15 years have passes since that terrible day when planes flew into buildings here in the US. It changed our entire world and way of life, and we are still fighting the war.

Like many of you, I will always remember where I was that day. Early in the morning for those of us on the West Coast, and getting kids ready for school. The enormity of planes being hijacked and flown into buildings hit home for us, as my DH was a pilot for United Airlines at the time, and on a trip down to Central America. Needless to say he was safe, but stuck there for several days. 

Take a moment today to remember all those that gave their lives that day, and those that continue to fight for our freedoms. 

And the Winner's are....

Design Wall Monday

I have been busy the last couple of days working on my September UFO-Midnight Flight from Bonnie Hunter. The pieces below are for 228 four patches that are in this quilt. I will also be making 228 more of these with red. The star blades were made awhile back for a swap with some of my quilting friends.

San Diego Quilt Show and a Giveaway!

This year marks the 35th Anniversary of the San Diego Quilt Show, which opened Wednesday Night, downtown at the Convention Center. It runs through Sept 3. I always look forward to this show, with many beautiful quilts on display, and lot's of vendors to shop.

This year the guest artist is none other that Edyta Sitar from Laundry Basket Quilts. While I was unable to go on Preview Night this year to see her presentation,  I did stop by her booth to see her amazing quilts, and hear a mini presentation on her entry into quilting where she talked about some of her beautiful quilts. Edyta also gave a demo, using her templates and technique on making a compass blocks. It was super easy and with great results. Her quilts were amazing, using lots of scraps, and I loved them all!
