Design Wall Monday 4/8/2024

    Small Quilts and Doll Quilts Design Wall Monday 

One of my design walls has two of the same panel quilts.

I've just started figuring out how to border it.

The other quilt is my daughter's version of the challenge quilt.

The small peach and green blocks sitting to the left now have 5 blocks. 

I need to get that quilt going.


The other design wall is a guild donation quilt.
I am in the process of sewing the rows together.

Sewing day

I had a sewing day on Tuesday with Michelle and enjoyed the fun.
Even though I was not feeling great, I had a blast
We worked on her large quilt from Rosemary.
It is somewhat complicated, and not all the blocks were made, so it took a bit to figure out.
But now that all the blocks are made, Michelle has started sewing them together.

  
I made two placemats.

I paper pieced this cute little mug rug.
DH is using it now.
It was in the UFO container labeled Christmas Trees.
I'm unsure what I was thinking, but it is more like camping.
I have more tents and trees printed off, so I'll probably make a few more of these, so there is still a UFO.

I didn't get this posted, so I'll add in what I did yesterday (Wednesday).

I made another shoe bag for Lisa.

This hexagon purse came to me already started.
I did the quilting and assembled it.
I'm counting it as another UFO.

I also tested the test quilt.
I can't show a photo of it yet.
It still needs to be bound.

Postcard Swaps

 I belong to a group where I swap postcards. 

All of a sudden, I have all these postcards showing up that we thought might be lost.

Someone enjoyed them. 😁

This little monster came from Joanne.
It looks like the monster wants that cupcake. 

The St Patrick's Day beat is from Lynda.
I love the embroidery work.
The fabric is perfect.

Miriam sent this Under the Sea PC.
I love how she used netting and the thread painting on the card.
The edging matches the fabric too.

Linda sent me this cute Bunny and Easter Egg.
I love the bunny.

Linda also sent me the Valentine's PC.
Cupid and hearts and rose, oh my.
It is adorable!

Thank you to all my swappers.
