On My Design Wall

It`s really my design desk.  I do have a design wall, a piece of flannel, it works great but my large dog took a liking to it as well and carried it off to his bed. No damage to the blocks. I`m looking for an out of reach place to put it back up. 

Star Blocks

These blocks are part of the quilt for my DIL. I have more to show but so far the light is not the greatest and it`s too windy outside for pictures. My favorite is the sunflower block and the butterfly block  next to it.  The fabrics are part of a huge stash of remnants  a neighbor gave me a few weeks back. The star on the left bottom is a Walmart fat quarter another friend bought to me. Not the greatest quality but I like the bright colors.

I sew for one or two hours a day. So much going on here with pets and winterizing the house. I am hoping for a mild winter. In the desert you never know. Last night we were in the mid 30`s, I`ll be moving and covering tomato plants today. Soon as I finish this post I`m going for my walk. Very cold wind earlier.  In two weeks my son will learn if they have to redo the hardware in his broken back. A second surgery is a lot more intensive. I`ve prayed about it and know he`s in God`s hands.

Time for me to step away from the computer. I wish you all a wonderful day!

It`s My Blog Hop Day!

Good Morning from the Arizona High Desert! Today it`s my turn to share my blocks as a participant in the Red, White, Blue Blog Hop. I haven`t sewn for years, so here we go! Both blocks are Wonky Stars.

The stripes are a nice cotton. The gingham not so much. I prefer  vintage gingham from the 50`s and 60`s.


More of the red and white cotton and a nice floral print. Fabrics are from my stash except the center square was cut from a purloined (stolen) shirt from the husband. We live in a very remote area and I make do with what`s on hand. Maybe someday he`ll miss that shirt, but I doubt it! I missed the best natural light when I took this pic.

Thank you Jane`s Fabrics for hosting the Hop and Madame Samm for sponsoring this nice experience.



Please visit these other participants for more lovely blocks.
