Design Table Monday

The start of a new project.

60 orange and white 4-patches!

For Lori: a little weather out the backdoor on Sunday afternoon...

pea size hail storm~only lasted a few minutes but was very intense! Otherwise, almost all the snow has melted. Thunderstorms Sunday night will wash away the residual leftover mess from the snow. Add a few warmer days and sunshine~the grounds surrounding Bell Creek Quilts will be greening up. Almost time for the snow blower to move to the off site shed and the lawn tractor and deck furniture to return! :)

Spring 2011 *To Sew* List

Time to set another set of sewing goals. I like to make lists, I think, just so I can check items off! In no particular order and with a few carry overs... Spring 2011 *To Sew* List personal:

• rag quilt


• grocery bags


• graduation A


• graduation B

donation

• QOV A


• QOV B


• MHC A


• MHC B


• cancer recovery bags

long arm quilting

• as needed for guild

Hopefully, I will be able to stay a little more focused and complete the items I seem to carry over from list to list. :)

My Winter 2011 Recap

In this post here, I set a few sewing goals for Winter 2011. I did manage to sew quite a few items off the list and a few that were not on the list! In the week since Spring began, I did finish the second Quilt of Valor. I also sewed more of the two color quilts than I had originally planned. But hey, they were sooo much fun~I couldn't stop! :)

Design Wall Monday

Piecing continues on the Black & Blue quilt. All the crumbs have been assembled into 12.5 inch (unfinished) blocks. Next are the sashings, cornerstones and border.

Sorry for the sideways picture~blogger continues to misbehave for me!
