Design Wall Monday

I heard a rumor there was a big football game on Sunday.

Hubby watched, I sewed.

I've had Swoon Nora cut out for a few months.

I knew she would take up a bit of time,

 so on Saturday I did all the prepwork

and on Sunday I sewed. 

The fabric was a gift from my friends Marian and Sharlene a couple years ago.

(I'm glad I saved it for the perfect project.)

And vinyl! 

I learned quite a bit about vinyl.

I had to call my daughter for tips on sewing/gluing.

She's used a lot of vinyl in her bag making.

My machine sewed right through it.

Nora is a nice size traveler bag.

Included in the pattern are 2 smaller sizes. 

Before I started Nora and after finishing Pineapple Crazy,

I decided to make my log cabin blocks for a swap with a group of friends.

The last log is medium blue under the yellow.

These things are like Lays Potato Chips,

you can't make just one.

Soon there were 30 blocks ready to trade.

Are you planning to participate in The Splendid Sampler?

This block is a bonus block or can be used in a design/pressing station.

I'm using mine as a bonus block.

I've decided to use lime, black and white for my fabrics. 

I'll be linking up with Patchwork Times.
