Design Wall Monday


No quilting happened this week.
Fabric was touched, sorted, cut and kitted.

I did sew up a new shirt so the serger and coverstitch machine were used, 
but the sewing machine remained off all week.
I'll try to remedy that this week.


I took 2 bins of fabric and rulers with me to the beach.
I used my Easy Center Square and Essential Triangle Tool to cut my square in a square parts.
These will be used for a border on a UFO.
(There is enough cut to border 2 quilts! 
Why stop when you are on a roll.)
Easy Peasy with the right tools!
Bonnie has an awesome tutorial here if you don't have the ruler.
(Quiltville is my first go to for tutorials.)
I was one of the lucky ones and was able to grab the Easy Center Square ruler 
when Bonnie was selling them.


I also used lots of 2" strips to cut a small quilt.
All the parts almost fit into a quart zip bag.


These are my leftovers.
They will go into my Scrap User's System and the garbage.
Garbage on the left, Wild & Goosey parts, 2" squares and strings and strips.
I love taking fabric to the bus and coming home with projects all kitted up.


The only sewing I did at home this week was on the Mischief Quilt.
I have all the rows clipped together.
It's one row at a time,
trying to stay organized and in order. 
This picture is all the blocks for the first row.


There is a safety pin it the top left corner of block one.
The unsewn blocks stay clipped together with a binder clip, 
the next block is taken off the stack and sewn to the right hand side.
I try to stay organized, really I do. 😉

Design Wall Monday


If you stole my quilting mojo,
would you please return it!
I'm having a heck of a time getting the Crabapples quilted.


Mostly is an arthritis issue. 
In my left pinkie finger, of all places!
It is so painful sometimes that I can't move the quilt around.
Then I remembered I had the Fabulous Fabric Glide from The Gypsy Quilter.
What a difference that made.
I'm hoping to finish this today!
I swear! Even get the binding on.


I needs to be finished so I can play!
I was one of the lucky 94 quilters that was able to buy The Easy Center Square ruler
when they became available on the Quiltville blog.
I just happened to read that blog post at the exact right time.


This beauty is right outside my living room window.
It's about 8 feet tall and loaded with buds.
I've spent the winter worried about it because there were so many buds so soon.
I'm hoping the rain goes away so I can enjoy this before the flowers all fade away.
