Design Wall Monday!

Happy Halloween All-hope you enjoy your spooky day! I always look forward to seeing all the fun and creative costumes that kids(and adults) come up with!

Midnight Flight remains on the design wall, or design floor, this week. Almost there!

Looking to finish today and hopefully in time for the Parade!

On the Road!

This week finds me in Mesa Arizona at the Wandermere Conference Center for the 

Southwest Statler Sibling Retreat. I am very lucky to have a Statler Stitcher on my Gammil Longarm and was able to get a spot at this retreat. We will have two days of instruction from Sharon Perry from House of Creations. Sharon is from New Zealand and designs some great digital quilting patterns along with teaching all of the different capabilities of the Statler Software.

Along with Sharon, we have an evening with Helen Robinson from Sew Kind of Wonderful, teaching some hands on free hand. Looking forward to learning some of those great modern designs from Helen. Below are some of the quilts on display.

Design Wall

Nothing new on my design wall this week. Still working on Midnight Flight. I have 9 more blocks to put together and then the border units to complete. Yes, this is a labor intensive quilt, but it is a real beauty!

Hope you are making progress on whatever you are working on! See more great projects at Patchwork Times.

Sunday Stash Report

Only a small finish this week. Sandi and I completed our quilt for Sunshine Quilt Guild Opportunity. We will be selling tickets in November and December, with the drawing at our December guild meeting. The pattern was based on a Bonnie Hunter pattern called Charlotte's baskets. This was completely made with leftovers from other projects and with fabric from our stash. All that is left is to quilt and bind.

Design Wall Monday

Are you feeling Fall yet??  We do get a little Fall color here in San Diego, but not as much as some other parts of the nation.

This week on the Design Wall is the a completed block for Sunshine Quilt Guild. This was super easy and done up in Halloween colors. Look forward to seeing what all the other blocks look like next Tuesday when our Guild meets. Maybe I will win this one!

Yes, still working on Midnight Flight! Will I ever be done??? Check back later in the week to see if I make any progress!

Have a great week and look for more design walls at Patchwork Times.

Sunday Stash Report

Still no finishes! So the stash report remains the same. Working on Midnight Flight with 9 of the 32 blocks completed. Still a long way to go on this quilt. Good thing that my October UFO is already done! That gives me all month to finish Midnight Flight and maybe, just maybe, get caught up on my two other block of the month projects.

I am also working on a quilt with Sandi over at Kwiltnkats that will be a raffle for Sunshine Quilt Guild. We will sell tickets for November and December meetings and draw the winner at our December meeting. Here is what it is looking like so far.

We still have 7 more basket blocks to make and are auditioning fabrics for the sashing and borders. So far so good. We hope to get this near completion by the end of the week.


So here are the unchanged numbers. Hope yours are better than mine! Have a great week-it is feeling like fall! See more reports at Patchwork Times.
