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!  :)

WIP Wednesday

Ta-da!  Done!  about one of the quickest in awhile!

:)


pattern inspiration:   Turtle Twirl

panto:  Ebb and Flow from Lorien 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!!!

More Butterflies...

A little *me* time and I quilted down the first of the baby quilts!

Johnson  (you need to scroll down to the bottom of the page to find it).  This time I used 9.5 inch squares (unfinished).

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.  :)
