Not much change from last week . . especially since I haven’t been home. This is Taylor’s “X’s and O’s” quilt. I did bring a project with me and worked on the borders a bit yesterday so at least I touched the sewing machine this week.
What’s on you design wall?
Somehow I’ve managed to add more projects to my list than I had planned. Now I have to plan to finish them all! I had really hoped to start next year working on new things. I guess we’ll see what happens:)
I didn’t realize I hadn’t posted in a week. It’s a good thing I have the design wall Monday post to get me going. Thanks again Judy.
Some weeks are like that, and it sounds like you have been busy with your folks, which is cool! Enjoy your time, and stay out of those malls! LOL
I can’t post what’s on my design wall, sadly, as it’s a gift for my dad and stepmom. Had fun last night with some girls who came over to sew, though, and that’s up on my site… as well as a story of Abject Stupidity.
My sewing machine didn’t get much use last week either, but I have big plans for this week! LOL
I love bold geometric quilts. Can’t wait to see this one when the top is done.
I’ll have to share photos of my sewing room.
I’m …hmm … I guess it depends on how you look at it … either fortunate or UNfortunate to have my entire sewing room (an approximately 11 x 11 space) as a ‘design wall.’
We had the Owens Corning basement system put in a couple years ago. Basically, I have cloth-wallpaper covered inch-thick insulation on all 4 walls. That means I have a TON of space to hang up my latest projects.
I *do* have some stale projects up — let me tell you! There are currently 2 quilts for my son (one just needs a border, the other needs repairs from where a mouse got into my late MIL’s craft room). I also have a quilt for me that I need to piece the top together (oh, the Y-seams! What *was* I thinking?) And there are quilts to be completed for two of my three sisters. Oh! And a few blocks of a quilt for one of my Boy Scouts who is now in the Navy.
The area directly behind my machine, tho, is what I consider my true ‘design’ wall. I have all kinds of drawings, patterns, little gifties, and so forth … that ‘inspire’ me, or are for the ‘current’ or ‘future’ projects that I’ll be working on. I do have a few ‘old’ project things up … that I just haven’t found a place for yet.
I’ll have to photograph the mess.
All the best ….
Ida
I finally got something done this week! Can’t wait to see your X’s and O’s come together.
