Design Wall Monday, January 27, 2014

I pulled another UFO out the other day and put it up on my design wall.  It has been there most of the weekend.  I didn't touch it yesterday but hopefully today will be a different story. 

This is called, Market Baskets.  I have oodles of blocks cut out for it so I'm hoping for some quick piecing this week.  I'm not sure what I will use for the setting triangles and for the border fabric, but I'll worry about that part once I get there.  :)

Linking up with Judy for Design Wall Monday.

Another day spent in the sewing room...

 Another great sewing day!  This snow needs to melt soon, I am going to sew myself to death.  :)  

I started a new BOM by Barbara Brackman, called Threads of Memory.  This is the first block. 

 I liked it so well that I made a second one!  :)

 The BOM consists of 12 blocks that measure 12" so I guess I will be making 2 quilts.  I don't think that will be hard as it will only be 2 blocks a month! 

 I also pieced a bunch more of my brown mountain blocks. 

 During all of this, I pieced 19 more bow ties!!!  :) 

 I'm getting closer to my 1100 goal! 

 So after all of that sewing, I pulled out another UFO!  This is one that I started several years ago.  It is called, Market Baskets.  This is all that I have pieced but I have a ton more cut.  I want to get them all sorted and start sewing on them tomorrow as Church has been canceled due to the bad weather. 

 I snapped this photo this morning of Hunter and Leo snuggling in the recliner.  I don't think Leo was too pleased with the flash going off while trying to sleep. 

 I'm spending the rest of the evening resting up as tomorrow will be another good sewing day!

Sewing all day...

 I've been a little stressed out lately so most of what I had been working on was my Dresden Plates.  Today I have sewn most of the day!  :)  It really felt great!  I finished up this quilt, 4 Patch Flip.  It is a full size bed quilt. 

 This is actually some of the fabrics used in it.  The lighting in here today was so bad, I couldn't get a good photo of it. 

 More of the center....

 A border shot...  The border is actually a bedskirt that I cut up.  :)

 I also got several more bow ties finished.  I think I am up to 326 of them.

 I appliqued another Dresden.  This makes me 8/20 that are completed.

 I also played around with a few apple cores. 

Now I'm tired and ready for bed!
