Design Wall Monday~

Thank you for your comments on my new look! I am always a little leary about changing templates etc~ afraid I'll end up deleting my whole blog! :-o LOL Since it worked so well this time, maybe I won't wait as long again. ;-) I had a question about the quilts in the header photo~ They are all quilts I have made. The first one is a Debbie Caffrey design that she did as a mystery in the now-no-longer-published Traditional Quiltworks magazine. My Mom and I made this one together long distance, trading FQ's before we started. Next is my Vintage Sheet quilt~ I don't have the binding sewed all the way down yet, but you can't tell in the photo. LOL :-) Then we have Butterfly Blooms. I made this one with my quilt guild when we lived in TX. The pattern is from the Cozy Quilts co. And Finally my red/white quilt. The Monkey Wrench blocks came from a swap I did with my friends on HGTV; the design I did in EQ6. I'm really happy with how it turned out. :-)


Not a whole lot of sewing going on here, but I did manage to sneak in a few Dear Jane blocks. I am working on a kite, and then I should be all caught up again. Angela, is choosing the blocks each week, and I am trying to keep up! :-)) From left to right we have~ E-12 Mary Ruth's Corset, D-1 Alison's Guiding Light, C-13 Lakota Sioux, and G-4 Shutter Bug. I do love some of the names Jane gave these blocks! LOL ;-)

To see more wonderful, inspiring design walls, head over to Judy L's Patchwork Times.

Have a happy first day of summer!
And until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!
