On My Design Wall

I've been flitting about from project to project, so my design wall has lots going on.  Left to right I have my Tumbler leader-ender project which has become more of an add-a-row-a week project.  Next I have a project from Primitive Quilts and Projects (Summer 2014) magazine.  I need to get some pearl cotton in red and gold to get this moving along.  Does anyone know if embroidery thread works for wool applique?  The small applique pieces are from Old Voices New Impressions.  I'm late to this sew along but enjoying it just the same. My birthday present to myself was the Latimer Lane BOM from Red Crinoline quilts.  This is so fun and right up my alley--small pieces, reproduction, and a sampler to keep me from being bored with the same old thing.  On the right are my Temecula Circa 2016 and the first block of Barbara Brackman's Western Women sew along. 

This bottom quilt was gifted to my girlfriend's daughter at her baby shower yesterday.  As soon as the shower was over, she went into labor.  It is made from mostly recycled shirts (thank you Bonnie Hunter)  I'm subbing today and Thursday, so it will cut into my sewing time, but I have to work to support my fabric habit!

  1. The name of your Blog caught my eye-I grew up in Napa Valley. Miss the beauty of the vineyards in California. I've packed my Grand Illusion Mystery quilt in a project box and I need to get it out and finished.

    1. Unfortunately, we aren't in Napa but rather the Lodi appellation. Much more agricultural and less trendy. We don't have the great restaurants that Napa has.
