My Design Wall Is A Mish Mash

Hello Everyone,

So I was looking at my design wall and I have several things on it that need to be completed.

I had started to make these LeMoyne stars with African fabrics and Kona cotton.  I really would like to make some more and have one fantastic quilt.  Love, love, love African fabrics.  You can find them here on my site.

Then I have these LeMoyne stars that I have been making with Kaffe Fassett fabrics and Australian fabrics.  I am loving the red and yellow together, but still need to decide on a setting.  I think I need many more blocks though. I want to make it BIG!!

Then I have this little guy that I made long ago with my friend Victoria.  I just need to quilt it... so that is what is going on with my design wall.

What is on your design wall?

Until Next Time...

My Design Wall Is A Mish Mash

Design Walls Are UP!!

Hello Everyone,

Remember when I opened my new studio, I had mentioned that I would be putting design walls up to cover the length of both walls in the room?? Well we finally got to do it yesterday.  My hubby had the day off from work and we went to town!!

But he was totally awesome, because on Sunday while I was teaching in NY, he went to Lowes to get the foam insulation boards so that I could wrap the fleece around them.  Let me tell you he did not have an easy time and needed to get 19 of them!!!

Anyway you can see one here wrapped in the fleece.  Unfortunately he got the kind that had the foil on both sides... which also had writing. Guess what happens then??? You can see it through the fleece.  

Oh well, people are going to have their quilts, blocks, and fabrics on top of them anyway.  Plus you can pin into these too!

Here is the studio when we were first getting down to business.  Notice it was still daylight outside and we really don't have much done yet.

Lots of boards waiting to be covered and we were waiting for my son to arrive with more tools that we needed.

Son arrived and we had a dilemma... how we were attaching the boards to the wall wasn't working out so well.  After many tries, my son had some genius ideas.  Two trips out, one to the hardware store and one to Lowes, he came back with exactly what we needed!  

Thanks to my son we managed to really get going on getting the walls up.

Hubby was very happy about this as he and I were both getting frustrated and thought we would never get them up.  Notice it is no longer day light outside.

Ahhhh... sweet progress!  A quick dinner from Mickey D's and a break for my son for some homework, then we really kicked it into high gear.

Team work was the key and we all worked well together and finally got a rhythm going.

Ahhhhh... all the design walls are up and waiting for quilts and projects to be hung by students.  

And look at TEAM CVQW... are they happy or what??? 

More so, I am happy and very grateful to have two wonderful guys in my life to help me make this possible.  Thanks to both of you, you are awesome and I love you!

The left wall is completely lined with design boards and...

so is the right wall!  I LOVE it!!

Yes, we got home late and the cats were hungry, but they forgave us and were fed immediately.  

Until Next Time...

Design Walls Are UP!!

Progress On The Design Wall

Hello Everyone,

Yes, there is progress! I am excited.  It is truly amazing what you can get accomplished with a few minutes here and there.  Believe me, that is how I have been rolling  lately... a little here, a little there.

Let me break down the wall for you...

Here is one of the four border corners for my Glacier Star Quilt that I blogged about here.  I am still working on the other three, they are progressing and I am loving them.  It will be so satisfying when it is complete!

My Which Way is North? is coming along.  You will remember this is all part of a bee that I belong to... Two's Company.  February was my month and these are the blocks that I requested.  I have some of them back and am waiting on a few more. I did a tutorial on how to piece them here.

There are two more projects on my wall that no progress has been made... yet!  I say yet, because they are definitely on the agenda.

I couldn't leave today without showing this these great photos of two best buddies enjoying the warm weather we had yesterday.

Two brothers, taking in the fresh air and critters running around... Ahhh... the life of a cat!
