Design Wall Monday

The same projects are up on the design wall as the last time I posted, but they have grown to include more blocks.  I'm keeping up with Circa 2016 from Temecula Quilt Company, Westerning Women by Barbara Brackman, adding a row or two each week to the tumbler quilt, and I've completed 20 blocks in the Latimer Farms BOM. 

I recently finished hand quilting a quilt for a friend's retirement but I'll save that for another post. 

Slow Sunday Stitching

I finished the bindings on two projects today while watching my Warriors beat the Rockets despite Steph's newest injury.   What a team!

The first project is a table runner.  My friend Nancy and I bought the kits for this runner when we were in Nebraska for the Jo Morton Retreat in November.  We spent much too much time and money at The Quilted Moose in Gretna thequiltedmoose.com but I just love that store.  The center panels are hand appliqued and embroidered.  The pattern is called Blueberry Harvest Runner by Pieces to Treasure in NSW Australia.

 

 

The second finish for today is a baby quilt that I plan to give to my Granddaughter's nanny upon the arrival of her first baby.  Although Caleigh is now 8 years old, Julie has stayed close to the entire family and we are all grateful for the great love and care she provided when Caleigh was a baby.

 

This was made with a charm pack using the pattern in Simplify by Camille Roskelly. 

It feels wonderful to have finished something.  I tend to work a little bit on a large number of projects, so I often don't have the satisfaction of a finish.  Maybe I should do one thing and finish it before moving to another--NOT!
