Design Wall Monday & the Rest of the Week!

Good morning! I sewed over the weekend! I am working on my Vintage Sheet top. I drew up the design in EQ and could not figure out how to make sashing without cornerstones~ yeah, there is a lot to EQ that still baffles me, but I do have fun! ;-) Sometimes knowing how you want to do something, and actually getting it to look that way are worlds apart! LOL Anyway~ I sewed, and sewed and have about a third of the top together. I plan to put in a few more of the pink polka dot and green dotted fabrics to give the top a little more color, a lot of my sheets are kind of plain, but I love them all! ;-) And I'm sorry the photo is a little dark~ I took it early this morning. ;-) To see more great projects and get loads of inspiration visit Judy L at Patchwork Times~ and while you are there, add your link too! :-)

This is going to be a busy week! Wednesday is Thimbleberries Sew Day and I am going to start another quilt top! :-o

Oh yes I am! I have loved this pattern from Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville since I first saw it. So I cut out bricks and strips for 4 patches to get started, but will be cutting a lot more in the coming weeks. :-) Join Barb and me if you love Thimbleberries too! You do not need to make a Thimbleberries pattern~ you can either use a pattern or Thimbleberries fabric and join us for a fun day of sewing!

And Saturday is the Charming Guys and Girls Spring Sewing Party! I plan to keep working on my vintage Sheet top! :-) Maybe I will get the next third done~ I hope, I hope! :-))

Yes indeedy~ a fun week of sewing ahead!
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

You just sound happy and excited about sewing in this post. Like you're on a "sewing" high. Such a cheerful post.

And, the Vintage Sheet top is going to be gorgeous.

Well look at you "Miss oh yes I am" :P I am so jealous b/c I've wanted to make that same bricks & stepping stones pattern for the longest time - but wouldn't you know the cute black fabric I bought years ago for the 4-patches is what I pulled off the shelf to use on Bonnie Hunter's Christmas Light's Mystery last fall... when I wanted to make it all from stash ;)

and I don't regret it - b/c I love how my quilt turned out - guess my only regret is that I didn't buy more of that black so I'd have enough to use for a Bricks & Stepping Stones to make right along with you! ;)

Have fun and I can't wait to see more photos!!!

Love from Texas! ~bonnie

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
