Design Wall Monday

I'm very excited about my design wall today. I started putting my bright stars together. It's kind of a slow process when my sewing time is in short spurts. I have row 1 complete with the long sashing and outer side border. Row 2 is complete laying on the sewing machine with the long sashing pinned on ready to sew.

After the weekend of firewood work-which is now complete thanks to my family!-I think I have lots of time now to get this top to the ready to quilt stage.

I'm not going anywhere today! I'm going to put soup makings in the crock pot, do some chores and sew. And if I feel like it, I might even take a nap! (But first, I'm going back to bed for a while. It's rainy and dark out this morning.)

Go to Judy L's to see her project and then visit others to see their design walls. I love Monday in Blogland.

Ohh my Judy that is gorgeous! I'm glad your firewood stacking chores are done. I was thinking of crockpot soup today too, but I think it's going to be to warm this afternoon-soup is a 'winter' food in this house-so weird we are. :)

Oh wow Judy that is going to be an absolute STUNNER! I can't wait to see this one complete.

Send your dark and rainy morning this way, it's already hot and sunny out... I am SO ready for Fall!

That really is looking wonderful, Judy! Today my design wall features.... black plastic. I am painting my shelf that sits right at the design wall, so everything is covered.

UMMM! Soup in the crock pot. I will be so glad when we get some of that weather. Today it is to be almost 100 again. Enjoy your sewing and nap.

I am glad the wood pile is done. Dark,rainy mornings are good for sleeping in and taking lots of cat power naps. Those stars are wonderful. I am ready to see more.

It is going to be so fun to see these blocks come together in a finished quilt. It is going to be stunning. The colors are great and really stand out against the black background.

Love your blocks/row. Doesn't it seem like it gets harder to find good sewing time?
