Design Wall Monday 7.29.2013

I finished the next Framed quilt.  This one is for my friend's twin boy~arrival date: August 23, 2013.

Quilting will be next,  I also need to sew back the binding on twin girl's Framed quilt.

On a health note: I've been suffering from the flu, I think.  Achey and tired all the time.  and the bathroom was added today.  :(  




Hope I get over it sooner rather than later so I can get back to my Quilting!  :)

What I'm Working on...

I wanted a wall hanging to match my Milwaukee Pierhead Lighthouse place mats, blogged here and here

So my place mats were one inspiration and the other was a quilt I saw while trolling the internet called Turtle Twirl, picture found here. It was originally published in the September/October 2008 issue of Quiltmaker.

This is what I came up with...all stash and about 36 x 36.

DD and I went to the Waukesha County Fair to help judge the 4H quilts.  These young quilters are absolutely phenomenal!  Way better that me!!!

A few of the quilts have been invited to participate in the Wisconsin State Fair that will be held at the beginning of August.  I didn't get the names of the quilters but enjoy the mini show!!

Best Quilting.

 Best Theme.
Best Use of Color.
Best Borders and Bindings.


Judges' Choice.

Sweet dragonflies, butterflies and fireflies on the back.

Another Cutie Quilted...

...I finished the second little cutie I took for the Oconomowoc Quilt Guild.  These cuties only take about an hour to quilt...I wonder why I procrastinated???  I don't get it???

This cutie was pieced by Heather, I think.  This one has lots of florals from my stash.  :)
